Most project management tools started as genuinely useful products and quietly turned into something else. Free tiers shrank as per-seat pricing crept in, and the workflow you built around a tool became an expensive trap. I hit that wall with Trello after Atlassian switched workspaces with over ten users to read-only without much warning, which is fine for personal use, but that’s not my situation. However, it was actually great to get out of that situation by self-hosting Planka instead.
