What Planio is
Planio is a hosted collaborative project-management service based on Redmine.

Planio also includes a wiki, communication tools, Git and Subversion repository hosting, time tracking, file storage, Help Desk, team chat, search, and an email inbox. Its documented integrations and add-ons include GitHub, Bitbucket, Google Chrome and Apps, Dropscan, and desktop repository clients; it also offers Redmine REST API functionality and OAuth 2 integration.

Silver costs $25 a month, billed month-to-month, for three active projects, five active users, and 5 GB of storage. Higher listed plans cost up to $449 a month.
