Plane

What is Plane?

Track issues, sprints and roadmaps in one workspace for software and product teams.

Who is Plane best for?

Plane is best for software teams that want issues, sprints and roadmaps in one tracker they can self-host.

• Sprint planning

  Cycles timebox the work, and burn-down charts show whether a sprint will finish on time.

• Data that must stay in-house

  The Community Edition runs on your own servers with Docker Compose or Kubernetes, so project data stays on your network.

• Roadmaps and specs

  Modules split big projects into parts, the Gantt layout shows them over time, and Pages keep the specs next to the work.

• Small teams

  Plane Cloud's Free plan covers up to 12 users with projects, cycles, modules, pages and all five layouts.

How much does Plane cost?

Plane's Community Edition is free to self-host, Plane Cloud is free for up to 12 users, and paid cloud plans start at $8 per seat a month.

Billed yearly, Pro is $6 and Business $13 per seat a month, and both start with a two-week free trial. Enterprise Grid is priced on request and adds private or managed deployments, LDAP and audit logs. The paid plans also come as license keys for the self-hosted Commercial Edition.
