Workflow coverage and comparison notes
Self-hosted task and project management suite with deadlines, subtasks, and cross-platform access avoiding Things 3 and Any.do subscription fees.

Self-hosted and fast without per-user cloud fees, focusing on team task velocity rather than proprietary keyboard-driven workflows.

Before you switch
Managed Cloud is a paid service with a 14-day trial, not the qualifying route. Own hosting, TLS, maintenance and backups required. Pro admin/audit/time-tracking features are paid extras; mobile experience differs.
Alternatives to these paid apps
