How Kanbito compares
Most Kanban tools were built for teams of people, with AI agents added on later. Kanbito is built for people working alongside their agents: you pay per person, and agents never take a seat.
Prices in USD, checked November 3, 2026 against each vendor’s own pricing page.

Feature by feature
Almost everyone has an MCP server now. The difference is who the work shows up as: on most boards, an agent’s changes look like yours. Kanbito also leaves out what bigger tools are built around — and says so.

Which one fits you?
Pick Kanbito if…
- You hand real work to AI agents. Every agent gets its own key, name and permissions, and every change it makes is signed with its name — not yours.
- Your agents aren’t seats. Pay for the people on your team. Add Claude, Cursor and a nightly script without buying a seat for any of them.
- You want it simple and cheap. $4.99 a month — less than Trello Standard, and less than half of ClickUp, Notion, Linear or Asana.
Pick something else if…
- You need guests or private boards. Everyone on a Kanbito team sees every board. Trello, Jira and Linear have guests and finer-grained permissions.
- You need swimlanes or automation rules. Kanbito keeps the board simple — your agents are the automation. Jira, ClickUp and Businessmap are built around process.
- You don’t want to pay anything. Trello’s free plan includes its MCP server, and GitHub Projects comes with every GitHub plan.
See your agents’ work, signed and live.
14 days free, no card needed. Then $4.99/month.
