Kaneo vs MeisterTask

Kaneo is open-source project management software available on the web, through an API, or as a self-hosted installation. Work can be organized in boards, lists, backlogs, Gantt charts, and calendar views. Tasks retain details and context, support subtasks, and can use automation rules and time tracking. GitHub issues and labels synchronize in both directions; linked pull requests can advance tasks as code moves through review and merge. The free MIT-licensed self-hosted edition includes every feature, SSO, unlimited users and projects, and keeps data on your servers. It supports PostgreSQL with Docker Compose or the official Helm chart, plus Google, GitHub, Discord, and custom OAuth/OIDC sign-in. Cloud plans include automatic backups and updates. Cloud Personal costs $40 a year, while Cloud Team costs $50 per user per year. A 14-day cloud trial is available without a credit card.

MeisterTask is a work management platform for projects, tasks, and documentation, available on Android, iOS, macOS, web, and Windows. Each project has a customizable Kanban-style board showing task status, while a projects overview tracks deadlines, risks, and progress across projects. Automations can perform repeat actions, such as assigning an owner when a task enters a board section. Reports can analyze project performance and filter results by owner, status, and due date. Integrations include Slack, Google Calendar, iCal, Gmail, Outlook, Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, and Zapier. Basic users are limited to two integrations; Pro and Business users have unlimited integrations, and ChatGPT and Claude apps do not count toward Basic’s limit. The Free plan costs nothing and includes up to 3 projects. Pro costs $12.50 a month, and Business costs $24 a month. Meister says its servers are in an ISO 27001-certified data center in Germany and describes security controls, workspace access management, and regular backups.
