Fibery vs Planka
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Fibery and Planka — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Fibery vs Planka: at a glance
What is Fibery?
Fibery's MCP server can now upload local files, so AI assistants can attach screenshots and images.
Fibery's October 22 release is small: rich text accepts multiple files at once, with new upload and upload-by-link options, and the MCP server lets an AI assistant upload files from the user's computer into file fields or rich text. It follows three heavier releases: AI-built custom integrations, Custom Apps as entity views, and a rebuilt AI agent.
What is Planka?
Planka's release feed tracks its Helm chart, not the board app itself.
The four entries tracked for Planka, the self-hosted Kanban board, are Helm chart releases for deploying it on Kubernetes, from 2.0.2 in February to 2.2.0 in August. Each carries the same one-line chart description and no notes about what changed.

Fibery
7.5PM
Fibery's MCP server can now upload local files, so AI assistants can attach screenshots and images.
◆ Current state
Fibery's October 22 release is small: rich text accepts multiple files at once, with new upload and upload-by-link options, and the MCP server lets an AI assistant upload files from the user's computer into file fields or rich text. It follows three heavier releases: AI-built custom integrations, Custom Apps as entity views, and a rebuilt AI agent.
◆ Where it's heading
Fibery is making AI the main builder and operator of the workspace: the agent, Custom Apps, AI-generated integrations and an MCP server that now handles code execution and files. The weekly cadence alternates big AI releases with quality-of-life updates like this one.
◆ Prediction
Expect the custom-integration preview to widen and the MCP server to gain more write actions; another large AI release is likely within a few weeks given the pattern.
Planka
0.0PM
Planka's release feed tracks its Helm chart, not the board app itself.
◆ Current state
The four entries tracked for Planka, the self-hosted Kanban board, are Helm chart releases for deploying it on Kubernetes, from 2.0.2 in February to 2.2.0 in August. Each carries the same one-line chart description and no notes about what changed.
◆ Where it's heading
The chart moved through two minor versions in six months, which points to ongoing support for Kubernetes deployments. The entries say nothing about changes to the Planka application itself.
◆ Prediction
Unclear from these entries; another chart release is likely when the app ships a new version, but its content can't be predicted.
