Plane is an incisive response to config-heavy, opinionated, and restrictive project management software. Check out our website.
In just two years, Plane’s grown to #1 in its category on GitHub and become a viable open-core alternative to Jira, Monday, Wrike, Asana, ClickUp, and Linear, not to mention all-in-one tools like Notion or Obsidian.
Our growth has come on the back of the product’s true flexibility without artificial limits, simple configurations that work out of the box, and thoughtfully packaged features that nurture our customers’ growth instead of punishing it.
As a modern product start-up, we obsess over new and power users equally. Our mission is to empower teams everywhere with the simplest, most delightful work management experience on the planet. Our vision is to become the WorkOS of the future with a workbench of unified tools and techniques that intuitively and progressively form a greater whole for knowledge workers.
We’re well capitalized, backed by OSS Capital, and are revenue-positive. Our coworkers include ex-Microsoft, Deloitte, [24]7, Nutanix, and Yahoo! in our 50+ strong human force today.

What We Do
Currently the #1 alternative to Jira Server and Pivotal Tracker, Plane is that quietly powerful project management workbench that adapts to any framework or style of work for any-sized teams. Just starting-up and freestyling between founding members? Turn off features in clicks until you're ready for them. Got basic project management chops, but not ready for anything by the book? Box your work in cycles that run from a week to a month or more, cool off as you like them to, and auto-transfer incomplete work from one to the next. Got a large deliverable over the next three quarters? Break it up into modules with their own leads and track them from a single place. Handling a group of projects across departments? Map them to Initiatives and see just the forests until you need to dive into the trees. Plane is unopinionated for how work should work, so teams from software and ops, marketing and HR, the assembly floor and the R&D corner can all come together on a single source of truth without trading off their own unique languages and best practices. Customize Teamspaces to reflect your real-world teams, pods, or user-groups and manage work without distraction from the rest of your world. Plane is also the only viable solution for teams in government, regulated industries, and compliance-first areas. With our self-hosted offering that's at 100% parity with our Cloud and our airgapped solution on the way, customers now have governance assurances without trading off modern project management features essential to making meaningful progress. More than 10,000 companies have now switched to Plane from Jira Cloud, Jira Server, Asana, Monday.com, and ClickUp. Sign up free, stay free, and, when you're ready, try one of our thoughtfully packaged paid plans for fourteen days free.
