Planner is a software-as-a-service offering, thus is only available in an Online form, and only as part of Office 365 subscription. There is no standalone SKU, thus you will need to get at least O365 Businesses essentials, or anything a ove that.

Our company prefers not to use office 365, so we only use Office 2018.<br />
<br />
We would like to use Microsoft Planner (<a href="https://products.office.com/en-us/business/task-management-software" rel="ugc">https://products.office.com/en-us/business/task-management-software</a> ) <br />
<br />
All indications are they you need to have Office 365 subscriptions.<br />
<br />
Anyone know if it possible for a company like us, who do not use Office 365, to use Planner ?<br />
<br />
EG, an online vefrsion, or a version that’s downloadable and tat works witnh Office 2016.<br />
<br />
Thank you

Office 365 is a group of software plus services subscriptions that provides productivity software and related services to its subscribers. Office 365 allows the use of Microsoft Office apps on Windows and OS X, provides storage space on Microsoft's cloud storage service OneDrive, and grants 60 Skype minutes per month. Office 365 includes e-mail and social networking services through hosted versions of Exchange Server, Skype for Business Server, SharePoint and Office Online, integration with Yammer, as well as access to the Office software. All of Office 365's components can be managed and configured through an online portal; users can be added manually, imported from a CSV file, or Office 365 can be set up for single sign-on with a local Active Directory using Active Directory Federation Services.
