The #1 self-hosted project management platform

Projects and knowledge management in one workspace, deployed on your infrastructure. AI that runs on your models. Docker, Kubernetes, or fully air-gapped.

50,000+ teams run Plane in production

BUILT FOR REGULATED TEAMS

Some work has to stay inside your walls

Regulated industries, defense, government, and teams under strict data residency rules cannot ship data to a vendor cloud. Plane self-hosted runs entirely inside your perimeter.

Minimal outbound by design

• License and seat sync are the only required calls
• All data and AI context stay in your perimeter
• Every outbound call is logged and inspectable

White-glove deployment and support

• Deployment engineer support from day one
• Enterprise SLA with guaranteed response times
• Direct line for upgrades, audits, and incidents

Telemetry you control

• Every outbound call documented in public
• Usage metrics toggle off from God Mode
• Air-gapped ships with zero telemetry

What self-hosting Plane looks like

Install, configure, and back up your instance without fighting your infrastructure.

Download and install the Commercial edition

• Run one command. Prime CLI pulls the commercial edition and starts your instance, running on the free tier until your license is applied.

Buy and activate the license

• Pick a plan and purchase your license from the Prime portal. Paste the license key into your commercial instance to sync and unlock every paid feature.

Configure in clicks on God Mode

• Manage authentication, SMTP, AI models, and workspace policies from a single web UI. No .env edits. No SSH sessions.

Deploy in minutes, scale to thousands

One command to install. Six deployment methods.

Minimum: 4 CPU cores, 8 GB RAM, 50 GB storage, Under 2 GB image size

Deployment Methods

Docker Compose

• Single-command install via Prime CLI. Express mode uses Plane's defaults. Advanced mode connects your own Postgres, Redis, and S3.

Kubernetes (Helm Charts)

• Production-grade deployment with auto-scaling and high availability. Native secret management. Version 1.8.3 or higher.

Docker Swarm

• Multi-node deployment for teams already running Swarm clusters. Failover, rolling updates, and service discovery out of the box.

Managed platforms

• One-click deployment on AWS, DigitalOcean, Coolify, and Portainer. Cloud-like setup on infrastructure you control.

AI that runs on your infrastructure

• Plane AI runs inside your perimeter. Bring your own OpenAI, Anthropic, AWS Bedrock, or local Ollama key.

Prompts, responses, and actions logged locally

Usage and spend analytics across workspaces

Switch providers without a redeploy

Cloud-grade, self-hosted

Common questions

What buyers ask before they license.

• How does Plane compare to Jira?

  • Same depth (initiatives, epics, workflows, approvals, automations) without the admin overhead. AI built in, not bolted on. Self-hostable. Migrates from Jira Data Center with full fidelity.

• Can Plane handle enterprise-scale projects?

  • Yes. Fortune 10 organizations run Plane with hundreds of thousands of work items across multi-team workspaces.

• What does AI-native mean in practice?

  • AI summarizes progress, catches duplicates, writes descriptions, and powers natural language search. Assign AI agents to work items and let them handle triage and repetitive tasks.

• Can I self-host Plane?

  • Yes. Docker, Kubernetes, and air-gapped deployments. Same features as Cloud. Install in under 20 minutes.

• Do I have to use every feature from day one?

  • No. Every feature is off by default. Turn on cycles, modules, automations, and approvals when your team is ready.
