Self-host Monday.com
Work management / project boards
Monday.com is the colorful 'work OS' direct competitor to Asana + ClickUp. Self-host alternatives cover task tracking + boards + automations; the polish gap is Monday's templates ecosystem.
Monday.com pricing anchor: $12/seat/mo on Standard tier (3-seat minimum).

Migration sketch. Monday.com → Board → Export as Excel/CSV. Vikunja accepts CSV imports per project; you'll re-create columns as Vikunja labels and statuses.
Good fit forSmall teams that want lists + kanban + due dates without paying per seat.
Weak atNo 'item-update' style activity feed; reporting is thinner.
