Your Data, Your Control
We build for sovereignty.
Our users shouldn't have to trust us blindly — they should have options.
Your data is portable on every plan.
Self-hosting the open source release unlocks the deepest layer of control.
Three pillars of data sovereignty
Sovereignty means more than just where your data is stored. It means you have the keys, the exits, and the ability to verify every claim we make.
Your Data Stays Portable
Whether you self-host or use our hosted plans, your test cases, runs, and attachments are always exportable. No 'premium export tier,' no support ticket required to leave. Portability is non-negotiable.
Self-Host for Deeper Control
For the strongest sovereignty, deploy the open source release with Docker on your laptop, data center, sovereign cloud, or an air-gapped network. Self-hosting is free forever under AGPL-3.0 — you control the stack, the updates, and the uptime.
Trust You Can Verify
Open source code means you don't have to take our word for any of this. Read the source, audit the schema, inspect every network call in the release we ship. Verification beats blind trust — for self-host and hosted customers alike.
Control is in the exits
The true test of data sovereignty isn't what happens on day one.
It's how easily you can leave on day 1,000.
Portability that always works
These apply whether you run the open source release or use one of our hosted plans.
Deeper control when you self-host
For regulated industries and teams with strict sovereignty requirements, self-hosting unlocks the deepest layer of control.
TestPlanIt vs. vendor lock-in
The tools that call themselves "your system of record" often make it hardest to leave. We think the opposite.
| Capability | Lock-In Tools | TestPlanIt |
|---|---|---|
| Data export | CSV only, or export-gated | Full export (self-host + hosted) |
| Database access | Vendor-controlled | Direct PG (self-host) or DB export on request (hosted) |
| Hosting location | Vendor's region of choice | Any cloud or on-prem (self-host) |
| Upgrade cadence | Forced on vendor schedule | You pick the version (self-host) |
| Migration path | Proprietary formats, painful exit | Standard formats (self-host + hosted) |
| Source availability | Closed source, trust-based | AGPL-3.0, fully auditable |
Self-hosted deployment options
Sovereignty means choosing where your data lives. When you run the open source release, TestPlanIt fits wherever your compliance and infrastructure require it.
On-Premises
Run TestPlanIt in your own data center behind your own firewall. Integrate with your existing identity and backup systems.
Sovereign Cloud
Deploy to EU, UK, Swiss, or any sovereign cloud region. Data residency meets your regulatory requirements, not ours.
Air-Gapped
Zero internet connectivity? Run the entire stack — including AI features — offline with Ollama and a local git server.
Own your testing data
No vendor lock-in, no proprietary formats, no exits held hostage. Your test data belongs to you — forever, in formats you can use.
