Frequently asked questions

Do I need a credit card to start?

No. Every new workspace starts with a 30-day Pro trial without requiring a card.

What happens when my trial ends?

When your 30-day Pro trial ends, you can upgrade to Pro or continue on the Free plan.

If your workspace is within the Free plan limits, you can keep using it for free. If you are over the Free plan limits, anything above those limits becomes read-only. Your work is never deleted.

What is included in the Free plan?

Free includes unlimited workspaces, up to 4 organisation members, 3 active boards across the organisation, 3 active automations, and 100 automation executions per month.

Free also includes all views, custom fields, colours, 250 MiB shared attachment storage, in-app notifications, email, browser push, per-workspace notification rules, documentation, and self-serve guides. It does not include board guests, the REST API, or MCP access.

What is included in Pro?

Pro includes unlimited workspaces and boards, as many paid member seats as your team needs, and full use of automations with no monthly execution cap.

Single-board guests are free. A guest who collaborates across multiple boards counts as one paid seat.

Pro also includes 200 GiB shared attachment storage, the full REST API, custom webhooks, chat destinations, MCP server access for AI agents, priority email support typically within one business day, and guided rollout and setup planning on request.

How much does Pro cost?

Pro costs $5 per user per month, billed monthly.

On annual billing, Pro is $49 per user per year, an 18% saving versus paying monthly.

How many workspaces and automation runs can I use?

Free, Pro, and Self-hosted all allow unlimited workspaces. Free includes 3 active automations and 100 executions per month. Pro and Self-hosted include full use of automations with no monthly execution cap.

Is there a money-back guarantee?

Yes. Paid Pro plans include a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Can I invite clients or external collaborators?

Yes. Pro includes board guests, so you can invite external collaborators to specific boards without giving them access to your organisation or an entire workspace.

Single-board guests are free. A guest who collaborates across multiple boards counts as one paid seat.

Can I self-host Kanera?

Yes. Kanera is source-available and can be operated on your own infrastructure.

No Kanera licence fee. You provide and operate the infrastructure, storage, backups, email delivery, security and upgrades.

Is self-hosted Kanera free?

There is no Kanera licence or per-seat fee for self-hosting. You still pay for hosting, storage, maintenance, backups, email delivery, and the time needed to operate the deployment.

What license does Kanera use?

Kanera is source-available under Elastic License 2.0. You can inspect, modify, and self-host it for your own use, but cannot provide it to third parties as a hosted or managed service.

Does Kanera support API access?

Yes. Full REST API access is included in Pro and Self-hosted.

Does Kanera support AI agents?

Yes. Pro and Self-hosted include access to Kanera's MCP server, allowing AI agents to securely work with Kanera as a source of project context.

What counts as a user?

An active organisation member counts as one paid seat. Single-board guests are free. A guest who collaborates across multiple boards counts as one paid seat.

What happens if I cancel Pro?

Your workspace can continue on the Free plan if it fits within the Free limits.

If your workspace exceeds those limits, anything above the Free plan limits becomes read-only. Your work is not deleted.

Pro-only integrations stop rather than disappear: API keys are revoked, and webhooks and chat destinations are paused. Their configuration, event choices, and delivery history stay in place, and upgrading again restores what the downgrade switched off.

Which integrations need Pro?

The REST API, MCP server, custom webhooks, chat destinations for Slack, Discord, Telegram, and Zulip, and personal notification delivery to ntfy, Gotify, or your own webhook need Pro, a Pro trial, or self-hosted Kanera.

Free keeps the in-app notification drawer, email, browser push, per-workspace notification rules, and watching.

Can I change between monthly and annual billing?

Yes. You can pay $5 per user per month, or choose annual billing at $49 per user per year.

Is there a setup fee?

No. There are no setup fees.

Which plan should I choose?

Choose Free if you are getting started, working with a small team, or only need a few boards.

Choose Pro if Kanera is becoming part of your team's daily workflow and you want Kanera to operate it. Choose Self-hosted when deployment control justifies the infrastructure and operations work.
