In our rankings
Scores on the self-hosted project management criteria
Evaluated Nov 5, 2026- Planning views ×3 5
5/5 means: All four view types plus another distinct view, such as separate list and table (spreadsheet) views.
List, board, calendar, Gantt (timeline) and spreadsheet layouts are on the Free tier, and the Community Edition matches the Free tier's features.
4 quotes - Self-hosted setup ×3 2
2/5 means: The documented production setup runs seven or more services.
The documented Community Edition setup starts nine containers, and the guide asks for at least 4 GB of RAM.
2 quotes - Time tracking ×2 1
1/5 means: No time tracking in the free, open-source self-hosted edition: none is documented, or it is only in a paid plan.
Time tracking and work logs are a Pro plan feature, and the Community Edition matches the Free tier, so it has none.
2 quotes - Imports and integrations ×2 unknown
The Jira importer is documented only for Plane Cloud and the closed-source Commercial Edition. The captured pages list other importers and GitHub, GitLab and Slack integrations without saying whether the open-source Community Edition includes them.
