Better tell the Wekan team they're wasting their time then. ;-)

It's not a hosted service, its downloadable and open source.

Big difference.

Free hosts that could run Wekan exist.

$10/user/mo for Trello seems pretty expensive to me. It's a very basic product.

Trello, the head-and-shoulders best project management software for individuals and small teams no matter the type of project and despite the literal hundreds of competitors, is "very basic"…

A tool that could save all employees of a company dozens of hours a month for $10 is expensive…

Hacker News, what the actual fuck. The total and complete lack of respect for the art of design, programming, hacking, making, building, leading and creating software around here astounds me.

...it should only need to save you like an hour of one person's time per month to pay for itself for five users. Products can be extremely basic and still be worthwhile in that price range.

They don't care about selling it to you though when they can sell it to the IBMs. To be fair we probably own licenses to everything. I know we have used github enterprise on the watson side.

I was a Trello Gold user before they added the Enterprise tier. They seem to have completely forgotten Gold exists because all of their new features are Enterprise-only. I ended up just going back to a free plan.

Yeah but if my team has lots of inactive users that starts to add up.
