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 Basic plan.

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

What is included in the Basic plan?

The Basic plan includes up to 4 users, 3 boards, 1 automation, all views, custom fields, colours, and 250 MiB shared attachment storage for the organisation.

It is designed for small teams, personal use, and teams getting started with Kanera.

What is included in Pro?

Pro includes the full Kanera experience: all functionality, board guests, 200 GiB shared attachment storage for the organisation, full REST API access, MCP server access for AI agents, and support.

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.

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.

A guest's first board across your organisation is free. Giving that guest a second board uses one purchased seat, and further boards reuse the same seat. The person remains a board-scoped guest throughout.

Does adding a multi-board guest change my bill?

Not automatically. Giving a guest their second board uses capacity from seats your organisation has already purchased; Kanera does not change your Stripe subscription quantity.

If every purchased seat is occupied, the second-board grant is blocked until an administrator buys capacity from Account Plan. Removing the guest from boards until only one remains releases the used guest seat, but does not reduce purchased capacity.

Can I self-host Kanera?

Yes. Kanera is source-available and free to run on your own infrastructure.

Self-hosted Kanera has full feature parity with hosted Kanera. You provide and manage the infrastructure.

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 occupies one purchased seat. Organisation membership and workspace access are separate from guest access.

A cross-organisation guest does not use a seat on their first board in your organisation. Access to a second or later board uses one purchased seat in total, while the guest remains limited to explicitly granted boards.

What happens if I cancel Pro?

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

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

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 Basic 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.
