# Plane

> Plane (v1.4.2, Aug 2026, ~61k stars) tracks work items, runs cycles with burn-down charts, and groups work into modules and views. The Community Edition is AGPL-3.0. The default Docker install script sets up the Commercial edition on a Free plan (12 seats per workspace); Pro, Business and Enterprise keys unlock paid features. Needs Docker Compose or Kubernetes, 2 CPU cores and 4 GB RAM (8 GB for production). Gantt and time tracking were not checked.
