Editorial take
Why it stands out
Plane should be framed as a modern project and issue management platform for teams that ship, not as a generic to-do app.

Tool profile
Modern project management platform for teams that ship, with cloud and self-hosted deployment, flexible issue workflows, and AI-credit-based paid tiers.
Project management
Plane belongs in the database because it has become one of the more credible modern alternatives to heavyweight project-management suites. The official site positions it around projects, work items, docs, issue planning, self-hosting, and even air-gapped deployments. That makes it relevant for technical teams that want a more flexible product and engineering workspace without defaulting immediately to older enterprise tools.
It also deserves inclusion because the public pricing is both modern and unusually explicit. The current official pricing page shows Free at $0 per seat per month, Pro at $6 per seat per month, Business at $13 per seat per month, and Enterprise Grid as custom pricing. The paid tiers also expose AI credits per seat and trial language directly on the site, which gives buyers a practical sense of how Plane is monetizing newer AI features without hiding the core product economics.
