DoneDone vs Sleekplan
A side-by-side editorial comparison of DoneDone and Sleekplan — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
DoneDone vs Sleekplan: at a glance
What is DoneDone?
Small, customer-requested fixes all summer — then the first automation engine.
DoneDone ships in a tight loop with users: reorderable checklist items, tags in CSV exports, collapsible Kanban columns, more board sort fields, and activity feeds that hide status noise by default. Several entries name the customer request that prompted them. On August 7 the pattern broke with Workflow Automations, the first release in this window that adds behavior rather than tidying existing behavior.
What is Sleekplan?
Post-rebuild Sleekplan is adding the objects a feedback board never had: docs and components.
Sleekplan is shipping steadily since the June 2.0 rebuild, and the entries arrive as short teasers with bodies truncated near 280 characters, so direction is readable but scope is not. August alone brought a ChatGPT workspace connection, identity anonymization on public boards, and now two new objects on the same day: Documents, internal PRDs, specs, and decision records that sit next to the requests they inform, and Components, an independent second axis describing which part of the product a request concerns.
DoneDone vs Sleekplan: editorial side-by-side
DoneDone
5.0SUPPORT
Small, customer-requested fixes all summer — then the first automation engine.
◆ Current state
DoneDone ships in a tight loop with users: reorderable checklist items, tags in CSV exports, collapsible Kanban columns, more board sort fields, and activity feeds that hide status noise by default. Several entries name the customer request that prompted them. On August 7 the pattern broke with Workflow Automations, the first release in this window that adds behavior rather than tidying existing behavior.
◆ Where it's heading
The through-line is reducing friction in a board people already live in, and Workflow Automations extends that logic one step: instead of a cleaner view of manual work, the status change itself now sets due dates and attaches checklist templates. Checklist Templates got management improvements in July and are the object of the new automation in August, which suggests templates are being built up as the standardization primitive the product organizes around.
◆ Prediction
The automation surface starts narrow — two actions on one trigger — so the obvious next steps are more triggers than status change and more actions such as assignment or notification. The customer-request cadence in these entries suggests those will arrive in the same incremental way.
Sleekplan
7.5SUPPORT
Post-rebuild Sleekplan is adding the objects a feedback board never had: docs and components.
◆ Current state
Sleekplan is shipping steadily since the June 2.0 rebuild, and the entries arrive as short teasers with bodies truncated near 280 characters, so direction is readable but scope is not. August alone brought a ChatGPT workspace connection, identity anonymization on public boards, and now two new objects on the same day: Documents, internal PRDs, specs, and decision records that sit next to the requests they inform, and Components, an independent second axis describing which part of the product a request concerns.
◆ Where it's heading
The board is being rebuilt into something more than a request queue. Documents attach the reasoning — research, rejected options, the decision — to the feedback that prompted it, which is the context that normally leaves the tool and lives in Notion or a doc. Components add the dimension that makes a large board navigable. Together with the AI triage layer from 2.0, the direction is from collecting feedback toward holding the whole product decision.
◆ Prediction
Expect Documents and Components to be wired into the AI layer next — components driving automatic routing, documents used as the context an assistant answers from.
