What is Plane?

Plane ships a fortnightly digest, and the AI layer is where the real work is going.

Plane releases on a strict twice-monthly cadence, each entry a bundle rather than a single feature. The current window covers Pages becoming a document surface (toggle blocks, embedded widgets, nested-page zip export), Intake getting dashboard visibility, and Automations extending to modules, milestones, and releases. Underneath, Plane AI has been accumulating capability faster than any other area — Skills, an AI Block in Pages, live PQL results in chat, open-weight model options.

What is Scoro?

Scoro is making itself agent-readable: AI assistant for everyone, MCP server, app platform.

Three releases in close succession define where Scoro is investing: an MCP server for AI-powered cross-app workflows, the ELI AI assistant rolled out to all users, and a New Apps by Scoro layer announced in May 2026. The fundamentals — subtasks, role assignment on tasks, time-and-cost-to-invoice allocation, financial reports — are still shipping in parallel.

Plane vs Scoro: editorial side-by-side

Plane logo6.3

Plane ships a fortnightly digest, and the AI layer is where the real work is going.

◆ Current state

Plane releases on a strict twice-monthly cadence, each entry a bundle rather than a single feature. The current window covers Pages becoming a document surface (toggle blocks, embedded widgets, nested-page zip export), Intake getting dashboard visibility, and Automations extending to modules, milestones, and releases. Underneath, Plane AI has been accumulating capability faster than any other area — Skills, an AI Block in Pages, live PQL results in chat, open-weight model options.

◆ Where it's heading

The tracker is being rebuilt around two things it did not start as: a wiki with executable blocks, and a workspace where agent behaviour is authored and stored. Skills was the turn — instructions saved once and reused rather than re-typed — and the Pages work since has been about making the document a place where that output lands. The structural cleanups run alongside: epics folded into the work item type system, permissions redesigned into two layers, automations widened to more object types. It is consolidation, not sprawl.

◆ Prediction

The next digests likely extend Automations toward AI-triggered actions, since Skills, PQL, and rule-based automation now exist as separate pieces that obviously compose. The entries are digest summaries linking off-site, so per-feature depth is not readable from the feed.

Scoro logo2.5

Scoro is making itself agent-readable: AI assistant for everyone, MCP server, app platform.

◆ Current state

Three releases in close succession define where Scoro is investing: an MCP server for AI-powered cross-app workflows, the ELI AI assistant rolled out to all users, and a New Apps by Scoro layer announced in May 2026. The fundamentals — subtasks, role assignment on tasks, time-and-cost-to-invoice allocation, financial reports — are still shipping in parallel.

◆ Where it's heading

Scoro is positioning itself to be operated by both humans and agents over the same data model. MCP plus a public ELI assistant plus an apps layer is a deliberate platform move, not feature scatter. The classic project-management roadmap (subtasks, time tracking, financial reporting) continues underneath as table stakes.

◆ Prediction

Expect deeper integrations between ELI and the new Apps layer next, plus more granular MCP tool surfaces (timesheet, invoicing, quoting). A marketplace or partner-built apps story is the obvious follow-on if New Apps by Scoro is going to mean anything beyond first-party.
