About Plane

Plane is an open-source project management tool that covers issues, cycles, modules and pages, positioned as a self-hostable alternative to Jira and Linear. Teams can run it on their own infrastructure with Docker or Kubernetes, or use Plane's hosted cloud. Issues support list, board, spreadsheet, calendar and Gantt layouts, and built-in pages handle lightweight documentation. Because the code is public, organizations with data-residency or compliance requirements can inspect and control it. The community edition is free, while commercial editions add enterprise features and support.

Best for: Teams that need a self-hosted Jira or Linear replacement.
