Comparison
Maplan vs Nolt
Nolt is the simpler name many indie teams know. Maplan goes further by connecting feedback, ideas, roadmap, changelog, embeds, and AI agents in one loop.
Short version: still simple, but with more of the loop covered
Pick Maplan if

- • You need a cleaner loop once you already have real users and real volume.
- • EU hosting and GDPR matter to your team.

Pick Nolt if
- • You want the lightest possible setup.

The honest version
If you just want a very simple roadmap board, Nolt may be enough. If you want the loop to continue through changelog, embeds, and AI agents, Maplan earns the extra surface area.
