Kaneo vs Trello
The self-hostable Trello alternative
Trello nails simple kanban, but your boards live on someone else's servers and grow into paid Power-Ups. Kaneo keeps the simplicity, adds backlog and workflows, and lets you own the whole thing.
Why teams choose Kaneo
Just as simple
A clean board you can use in minutes, with no manual and no onboarding wizard. Kaneo keeps the thing people love about Trello.
Room to grow
Backlog planning, custom workflows, and roles are built in, so you don't hit a wall and start bolting on paid Power-Ups.
Your boards, your servers
Self-host under MIT for free, or use our managed cloud. Your data is exportable and never locked in.
When Trello is the better choice
If you only need a couple of personal boards, never want to self-host, and Trello's free tier covers you, it's a perfectly good choice. Kaneo makes more sense the moment you care about owning your data or your team outgrows a simple board.
