Plaky review

Plaky is project management software for organizing tasks, teams, and work in one place. Teams can arrange work into tasks, add custom fields to structure and sort information, and discuss updates in task threads. Task cards also support files, comments, and notifications for updates or mentions.

For reviewing progress, Plaky offers dashboards, filters, and custom views. It also includes automations, described as customizable board actions for reducing manual work, plus mobile apps.

The pricing page lists a free plan and three paid options: Pro, Enterprise, and the CAKE.com Bundle. Pro, Enterprise, and Bundle are priced per seat, with lower monthly-equivalent rates when billed annually. The free plan is not a short-term trial: it is listed at $0 per month, with plan limits that matter if your team relies on dashboards, activity history, or large file uploads.

The clearest value is the free plan’s user and workspace allowance. It includes unlimited users, spaces, boards, items, and views, according to the pricing page. That gives a small team room to organize multiple projects without a per-user charge, though the plan has other caps.

Paid pricing is straightforward enough to compare: Pro costs $4.99 per seat monthly, or $3.99 per seat per month with annual billing. Enterprise is $10.99 monthly or $8.99 annually; the CAKE.com Bundle is $15.99 monthly or $12.99 annually. The Bundle includes Enterprise features, team communication, time tracking, and project management. The pricing page puts the combined value of those apps at $27.97 per user per month.

Plaky may also suit teams that want tasks and discussion in the same place: the product brief lists task threads, file sharing, comments, and notifications alongside custom fields and progress views. One Reddit thread looking for free Trello alternatives mentioned Plaky’s unlimited users and projects. That is a useful signal about what attracts budget-conscious teams, not evidence of how well a migration goes.

The free plan’s “unlimited” workspace does not mean unlimited capacity everywhere. It allows only 6 fields per board, keeps a 7-day activity log, limits dashboards to 1 board, and caps file size at 10 MB. Teams that need more fields, a broader dashboard, or larger attachments will need to assess the paid tiers.

Pro raises several of those limits, but it is not unlimited: the pricing page lists 1,000 automation actions per month, up to 15 boards per dashboard, up to 5 Viewers per paid seat, and a 25 MB file-size cap. Enterprise removes the listed automation and activity-log limits, but still caps dashboards at 30 boards and files at 100 MB. Board permissions and SSO are listed for Enterprise.

Seat math also deserves a check before switching. Paid seats count active or invited users; deactivated users do not occupy a seat. Bundle seats count each unique user across apps, and a user must be deactivated from all workspaces to free a seat. Reddit evidence is thin: a productivity thread asking about Plaky had one commenter still considering a free-plan trial, rather than reporting results.

Plaky’s Free plan costs $0 and includes unlimited users, spaces, boards, items, and views. The limits matter: six fields per board, a seven-day activity log, one board per dashboard, and a 10 MB file-size cap. Pro costs $4.99 per seat monthly or $3.99 per seat monthly with annual billing. It removes the field cap, allows 15 boards per dashboard, includes 1,000 automation actions monthly, and raises the file cap to 25 MB.

Enterprise jumps to $10.99 monthly or $8.99 annually per seat. That adds unlimited automation actions and activity history, up to 30 boards per dashboard, 100 MB files, board permissions, and SSO. The CAKE.com Bundle is $15.99 monthly or $12.99 annually per seat, with Enterprise features plus communication and time-tracking apps. The listed bundle value is $27.97 per user monthly. Watch seat counts: active and invited users count; deactivated users do not. Bundle users must be deactivated across all workspaces to free a seat.

Before switching, map your current tasks, board structure, custom fields, users, and files to Plaky’s boards and items. That is the migration work to scope; the published materials do not document Plaky’s import tools or migration services. Data export formats and limits are also not published here, so verify that you can retrieve the records and attachments you need before moving a live workspace.

The clearest switching risk in the published pricing details is seat billing: invited users count on paid plans, and Bundle seats are tied to unique users across apps. Check those counts before inviting a large team or leaving the product. We were not given Reddit posts or comments about why users leave Plaky, so we can’t responsibly name a reported churn pattern. If you’re moving away, confirm export access and test a representative set of tasks, fields, comments, and files before canceling. If you’re moving in, compare your current file sizes and activity-history needs with Plaky’s Free caps.
