Best for a calendar view for Trello cards
Planyway adds calendar, timeline and Gantt views to Trello, Jira or GitHub, with a free plan for individuals and Team at $3 a user a month billed yearly. It does nothing without one of those tools, and only paid seats get the paid features.
Who Planyway is for
- Fits if your team plans work on Trello boards
- Works for one person who wants Trello cards on a calendar
Who Planyway is not for
- Not for you if you do not use Trello, Jira or GitHub
- Tight if you stay free, as timeline, Gantt and workload are Team, and Google two-way sync is Individual
- Watch out: only paid seats get paid features, and other board members stay on free
- Watch out: the prices read are the annual ones, and the trial length is not stated

Keep Planyway, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of Planyway you could make: calendar, kanban boards, Gantt & timelines, time tracking, time blocking and reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 1 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
It costs $36 a year.
What you could make
- Calendar, kanban boards, Gantt & timelines, time tracking, time blocking and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
What this rests on. Planyway’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
