  • AGPL-3.0 licensing requires derivative works to be open-source

  • Self-hosted with local-first architecture, no built-in cloud sync option
  • No native synchronisation between desktop and mobile versions without setup

Roadmunk

  • Starter plan at $19/editor/month allows only 3 reviewers; additional reviewers cost $5 each per month
  • Enterprise plan requires custom pricing contact; feature scope and support terms not published
  • Two-way Jira and Azure DevOps sync available only on Business tier and above at additional $9/collaborator/month
  • Pricing model based per-editor seats rather than per-organisation, scaling costs significantly for larger teams
