Planio review
A broad Agile and DevOps workspace with a free tier, but paid plans start at $25 monthly.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Planio is a hosted project-management platform for project managers, software teams, startups, and organizations coordinating development or other structured work. Its scope extends from issue, task, bug, and help-desk ticket tracking to Kanban-style Agile boards, sprint planning, backlog management, Gantt charts, time tracking, wikis, file storage, email, and team chat. Role-based permissions, configurable workflows, custom fields, guest access, and mobile apps make it suited to teams that need structured collaboration across projects.
Pricing spans six plans. Bronze is the free plan. Silver costs $25 per month and adds SSL encryption, backups and maintenance, unlimited issues and incidents, and unlimited Git and Subversion repositories. Gold costs $59 per month and includes Planio Team Chat alongside SSL encryption, backups and maintenance, and unlimited issues and incidents. Diamond costs $125 per month and adds Planio Help Desk and Team Chat. Platinum costs $249 per month and adds Planio Storage, Help Desk, and Team Chat. Enterprise costs $449 per month and adds custom branding, a custom domain, customizations, and Planio Storage. The published prices are USD references, while final charges are in euros. A 30-day free trial is also available.
Planio’s strongest fit is software delivery teams that want planning, repository hosting, support workflows, and collaboration in one hosted workspace. GitHub and Bitbucket integrations, plus Git and Subversion support, connect it to established development environments; the REST API supports further integration work. WIP limits, sprints, permissions, and custom fields provide useful control for teams with defined processes. Smaller teams seeking only lightweight task lists may find the breadth unnecessary, while teams requiring self-hosted deployment should look elsewhere. Choose Planio when Agile and DevOps coverage matters more than a low-cost paid entry tier.
