FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about PlanBB and kanban planning.

Is PlanBB really free for kanban planning?

Yes, PlanBB is completely free. Unlike other kanban tools that limit boards or features behind a paywall, PlanBB gives you unlimited projects, unlimited cards, and full access to all planning features. No trials, no credit card, no surprises. We believe a good kanban tool should be available to everyone.

How is PlanBB different from Notion's kanban board?

Notion is a powerful all-in-one workspace, but it's not built specifically for kanban. If you just want to plan and execute tasks, Notion can feel overwhelming. PlanBB is a dedicated kanban tool — focused, simple, and ready to use in seconds. No databases to configure, no learning curve. Just open PlanBB and start planning.

What about Trello? How does PlanBB compare to kanban Trello?

Trello is a great kanban tool, but many features require a paid plan. PlanBB offers similar kanban functionality — plus extras like WIP limits and kanban templates — completely free. If you love the simplicity of Trello but want more flexibility without paying, PlanBB is worth a try.

Can PlanBB replace a kanban board in Excel?

Definitely. Many people start planning with a kanban Excel spreadsheet, but Excel wasn't designed for this. You can't drag and drop tasks, set WIP limits, or collaborate easily. PlanBB is built specifically for kanban planning — flexible, visual, and much faster than managing rows and columns. Plus, you can save your setup as a kanban template and reuse it anytime.

Does PlanBB support WIP kanban limits?

Yes! PlanBB supports WIP limits on every column. You can set different limits for each stage of your workflow. This helps you stay focused, avoid overload, and keep your planning process smooth — a core principle of the kanban methodology.

Can I use PlanBB as a simple CRM kanban?

Absolutely. Set up columns for each stage of your sales or client process, create cards for each customer, and drag them through your pipeline. PlanBB's flexible kanban system makes it easy to track follow-ups and manage relationships — perfect for freelancers and small teams who need a simple CRM kanban without the complexity.

Is PlanBB better for Scrum or Kanban? What about Scrum board vs Kanban board?

PlanBB is designed purely for kanban. While Scrum has fixed sprints and ceremonies, kanban is more flexible — you plan continuously and move tasks as you go. If you prefer a lightweight, adaptable approach to planning over rigid sprint cycles, PlanBB's kanban board fits your flow better than a traditional scrum board.

How does PlanBB compare to Microsoft kanban board or Redmine kanban?

Tools like Microsoft Planner and Redmine are built for large enterprise teams with complex needs. PlanBB takes a different approach — it's lightweight, fast, and perfect for individuals or small teams. If you need simple project planning and progress tracking without enterprise overhead, PlanBB is the better choice. And yes, it's free.

Can I use PlanBB with my team?

Yes! PlanBB supports team collaboration. You can make your kanban board public for anyone to view, restrict it to registered users, or invite specific teammates by email to edit together. Adding collaborators is instant — just enter their email and they're in. Simple and efficient.

Does PlanBB offer kanban templates?

Yes. PlanBB includes ready-to-use kanban templates, and you can also create your own. Set up a board the way you like, save it as a template, and reuse it for future projects. It's a fast way to start planning without building from scratch every time.
