Yes. Plane (56k stars), Focalboard (26k stars), Huly (23k stars) are mature open-source replacements for Wrike — self-host with real ops work and stop paying $10/mo.

why people still pay

People still pay for Wrike because teams pay because project state has to remain authoritative through staff changes, outages, and years of accumulated workflow exceptions. The recurring cost buys auth, permissions, notifications, search, migrations, audit history, integrations, backups, and uptime, not just the visible interface.
