Self-hosted · On-premise · Yours
Kendo Manager installs on your own server, keeps every project on your infrastructure, and includes all features in every license. Whether you’re leaving Microsoft Project, Asana, monday.com, Trello or ClickUp, compare each tool side by side — and see why a self-hosted alternative means real data ownership, one-time pricing, and complete control.
Why self-hosted
Cloud tools are convenient, but your data lives on someone else’s servers and you pay per user, every month. A self-hosted alternative flips that equation.
Everything stays on your own server — GDPR-ready, with no third party holding your project information.
Pay once per package instead of paying per user, forever. No recurring subscription.
Add team members without watching the monthly bill climb with every seat.
Run it inside your own network, on your own infrastructure, entirely on your terms.
The platform
Gantt, Kanban, time tracking, costs, budgeting, resources, issues, risks, change management and reports — no upsell tiers.
One package, as many projects as you need.
Free for up to 10 team members and 1 active project, with all application options.
Classic scheduling or Kanban and sprints — both methodologies supported.
Reach your projects from any browser or device, hosted on your own server.
English, German, Spanish, Italian, Slovenian, Serbian, Croatian and Bosnian.
