What Placker does

Placker B.V., founded in 2014 and headquartered in Driebergen-Rijsenburg, Netherlands, is a bootstrapped, remote-first SaaS company that builds work management software primarily as a portfolio of Trello Power-Ups and a standalone platform, with a separate Microsoft Planner add-on. The core product lets teams work in simple Trello boards while giving managers unified cross-board views via Gantt charts, real-time dashboards, and reports; the defining technical capability is Advanced Mirror, which provides bidirectional card synchronization across up to nine boards, backed by Board Groups that aggregate multiple boards into a single workspace. The offering is sold on three per-seat tiers (Basic at $7.49, Pro at $12.49, Enterprise at $22.49 per user/month) with a usage-based mirror capacity add-on, alongside a free Card Duration Power-Up that drives a product-led growth funnel. The go-to-market is hybrid: a self-serve Trello marketplace listing and 15-day free trial underpin PLG adoption, while the Enterprise tier adds dedicated Customer Success Managers, SSO, and a Get Started consult to support larger deployments.

The company has reached meaningful scale by user-base metrics rather than headcount: 140,000+ members, 60,000+ boards, 10M+ cards processed, and 285,000+ cumulative Power-Up installs, with named enterprise references including Air France-KLM, Accenture, Expedia, AkzoNobel, and PMI São Paulo. Operationally, Placker runs with 1-10 employees, has raised no external funding, and has no public revenue disclosure. Its integrations span Trello (core), Google Calendar (50,000+ installs), Microsoft Planner (add-on with two-minute sync), and Google/Microsoft SSO; supporting infrastructure relies on Intercom for support and Braintree (PayPal) for payments. The company has signaled an intent to move into AI-augmented workflows but has not yet shipped concrete AI features.
