Plane

Open-source, self-hostable project management — a genuine Linear alternative.

Self-hosted Open source AGPL-3.0 issue-trackingself-hosting

Pricing

Free (self-hosted). Cloud from $5/user/month.

Plane markets itself directly at Linear’s audience, and the resemblance is obvious within minutes of use — similar issue views, cycles, and keyboard shortcuts, with a Docker Compose stack you fully control.

Key features

  • Self-hosted, full feature parity core — not a stripped CE
  • Cycles, modules, and views modeled closely on Linear
  • Roughly half Linear’s per-seat price on the managed Cloud tier
  • Active weekly release cadence

Self-hosted vs. cloud

Self-hosted via Docker Compose (Postgres + Redis + web/api containers) — about 25 minutes to stand up. Cloud removes the ops overhead for a per-seat fee.

Quick start

git clone https://github.com/makeplane/plane.git
cd plane && docker compose up -d

Alternatives

Linear remains more polished if self-hosting isn’t a hard requirement. OpenProject fits better if you also need Gantt charts.
