Flocci Projects vs Plane: which fits your team in 2026?

Short answer: Choose Plane if data ownership or self-hosting is a requirement and you have the ops capacity to run it. Choose Flocci Projects if you would rather not run infrastructure, want INR pricing, and want your board wired to a wiki, calendar and timesheets that already share your login.

Plane is the credible open-source option: cycles, modules, estimates, work items and a modern UI, either as cloud or self-hosted on your own infrastructure. The free cloud tier supports 12 users with 500 AI credits per seat; Pro is $6/seat/month and Business $13, where cycle-progress charts and burn-down analytics arrive. Self-hosting is real — and so is its operational cost.

Where Plane is the better choice

Plane wins on openness and control: an open-source codebase, self-hosted and airgapped editions, a 12-user free cloud tier, cycles and estimates on every plan, and AI credits bundled per seat. For teams with a compliance or sovereignty requirement, self-hosting is an answer we simply do not offer.

Where Flocci Projects wins

The whole agile loop free: drag-and-drop Kanban, product backlog, native sprints, story points and velocity insights on the personal board.
INR-native pricing — team seats at ₹49/seat/month, optional Pro ₹499/month across every Flocci app, PayU and UPI billing.
AI backlog breakdown included via shared platform credits with a free monthly grant — never a per-user AI fee.
Issues link to Flocci Library wiki pages and push onto Flocci Calendar from inside the card.
One Google sign-in across Projects, Workspaces, Calendar, Library, Notes, Infinity whiteboards and Timesheets.

What Flocci Projects does not have

Stated plainly, because a comparison that hides this is worthless: Native iOS and Android apps (Flocci Projects is a responsive web app); Gantt / timeline view and dependency scheduling; A third-party integration marketplace or public API app directory; One-click importers from Jira, Trello, Asana or Linear; Burndown charts inside the sprint (velocity trend, progress and workload are the shipped analytics); Custom workflow builders, custom statuses or per-project column configuration.

Frequently asked questions

Can I self-host Flocci Projects like Plane?

No. Flocci Projects is a hosted service running on Flocci infrastructure; if self-hosting or airgapped deployment is a requirement, Plane is the honest recommendation. What we offer instead is that nothing needs operating: no database, no upgrades, no backups on your side.

Is Plane's free tier better than Flocci's?

For a team, yes — Plane's free cloud plan supports 12 users while our free board is single-player. Our free board has no user-count value to compare, so the fair comparison is Plane Pro at $6/seat (~₹500) versus ₹49/seat here once you need shared boards.

Does Plane have velocity charts?

Plane's cycle-progress charts and burn-down/build-up analytics sit on the Business tier at $13/seat/month; the free and Pro tiers get basic dashboards. Flocci Projects includes velocity trend, status distribution and workload on the free plan.

When is Plane the better choice?

When you need the source code, self-hosting, data residency you control, or importers from Jira, Asana and Trello — all things an open-source project can offer that a small hosted product cannot.
