Restyaboard Pricing: Free Software, Paid Hosting

    Restyaboard is an open-source kanban tool, so there is no per-seat licence at all. That makes the pricing question a hosting question: what does it cost you to run and keep running?

    Restyaboard price

    $0 licence — you pay for hosting and maintenance

    Restyaboard is open source and free to self-host, with no per-user licence. Your real costs are a server, a database, backups, TLS certificates, upgrades and the person who maintains all of it. For a small team that is typically a modest monthly server bill plus a few hours of admin time each month.

    Costs that are easy to miss

    • Installation is documented but less streamlined than a one-command Docker deployment — budget setup time.
    • Upgrades are your job, and so is any security patching.
    • There is no vendor support line, so downtime costs your own hours.

    Is Restyaboard worth the price?

    Worth paying for when

    You need boards on infrastructure you control, you already run servers, and per-seat pricing at scale would cost more than the maintenance time.

    Skip it when

    Nobody on the team wants to own a server. A rough edge in a self-hosted tool is cheap in licence terms and expensive in attention.
