How we grade them
| 2.2GPABugHerdFair | 2.8GPATrelloGood | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CGraded against its own alternatives. Standard is $42 a month billed yearly ($50 monthly) for up to 5 members; split five ways that's about what Jira or Linear charge a seat, with clients commenting free. One person pays the full $42, and Jira and Asana links need Premium at $125. | BStandard is $5 a user a month billed annually, which lands inside the cheap quarter for project tools here, and brings unlimited boards, AI features, the full Planner and custom fields. Premium doubles that to $10 just for the extra views. |
| Free plan and trial | CA 7-day free trial with no credit card needed, enough to run one round of client feedback on a real site. There's no free plan after that. | BA free plan a small team could really live on: up to 10 collaborators a Workspace, 10 boards, unlimited cards and unlimited Power-Ups. Not an A, because the caps do bite: 10MB a file and 250 automation command runs a month. |
| Features | CIt does visual feedback fully: click-to-comment on live pages with screenshots and browser details, plus Figma designs, PDFs, text edits and video, all landing on a kanban board. That's a much smaller job than running projects, though. | CIt does boards, lists and cards about as well as anyone, with an Inbox catching to-dos from email and Slack and automation built in, but the job is a lighter one than this category's. Calendar, Timeline, Table and Dashboard views are Premium only, and no dependencies or time tracking are on record. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating on record. Clients just click and type, but first you add a script to each site or have reviewers install the extension, then set up projects and members. | C4.3 from about 7,000 App Store ratings, which is middling, and our ladder wants 10,000 behind a 4.3 before it counts for more. The idea itself is as simple as they come: a card moves from one list to the next. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb, with extensions for Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Safari, sending tasks to Trello, Slack, GitHub and Zapier on every plan and Jira, Asana, Linear and ClickUp on Premium. No phone apps. | AThe full set: web, Mac, Windows, iPhone and Android, with Power-Ups linking boards to Slack, Jira, Miro, Microsoft Teams and Gmail, a public API, and an MCP server for AI tools. |
| Best for | collecting client feedback on websites | simple kanban boards for small teams |
