It's a Plan is a self-hosted project management and issue tracking tool with boards, cycles, docs and dashboards. It lets AI agents take on issues alongside human team members, and it is aimed at teams who want to avoid per-seat fees.

Our suggestion based on what it does, not a feature-by-feature comparison.
Make money with it
A freelancer or agency could set up and host this for small teams that want private project management, and charge for the setup and ongoing support.
An idea, not financial advice. Check the licence before charging for anything built on it.
Ways a business could use it
- Run client projects and internal work on one self-hosted board and avoid paying per-seat fees to Linear or Jira
- Hand routine tasks such as drafting, research or code changes to AI agents on the same board to save staff time
Can you use it commercially?
Free to use. Anything you distribute that includes it must be open-sourced under the same licence. Running it as an online service also counts, so a hosted version must offer its source.
Not legal advice. Read the project's licence file before building a product on it.
Getting it running
You deploy it yourself with Docker Compose, Coolify, Railway or Helm, following the self-hosting guide.
Follow the official instructions in the project README.
Things to check
- Under active development, with breaking changes expected before a stable release
- AGPL-3.0 licence has obligations if you offer it as a service to others
- AI agents need your own model API keys, which cost money
- Some features, such as the audit log, help desk and multiple workspaces, need the paid Pro edition
