Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Plane holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 2.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 3 and 12 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of OpenProject's written reviews are positive against 29% of Plane's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
OpenProject ships an update monthly, Plane every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on September 9, 2026.
