Favro vs Trello

Favro

• Game studios and software teams running Kanban or Scrumban
• Organizations where several teams follow the same card on their own boards
• Teams that bring external partners into their boards and workflows

Trello

• Individuals and small teams that plan work on kanban boards
• Groups of up to 10 collaborators sharing a free Workspace
• Teams already using Jira or other Atlassian products

Favro

• There is no free or single-user plan: seats are sold in buckets of 2, 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100, so a team of 3 pays for 5.
• Lite stops at 5 collections and 25 automation actions and has no guest accounts, private collections or API calls.
• Timesheet reporting, SAML-based SSO and SCIM provisioning are Enterprise only, and pricing for more than 100 users is by quote.
• The desktop app is offered for Mac and Windows; no Linux version is listed.

Trello

• The Free plan is capped at 10 collaborators and 10 boards per Workspace, with 10MB per file.
• Calendar, Timeline, Table, Dashboard and Map views are only on Premium and Enterprise.
• AI features and full Planner access start on the Standard plan.
• The Enterprise price is an estimate that depends on user count, and the plan is billed annually.

Favro

Team and planning boards

Several boards can be laid out on one screen, so a team sees its backlog, sprint and other workflows together. Ready-made setups cover Kanban, Scrumban and roadmaps.

Cards shared across boards

A task, goal or user story can live on several boards at the same time, so different teams and managers follow the same card from their own boards.

Sheets and databases

Sheets add columns, calculations and hierarchies, which lets large pieces of work be broken down into smaller items.

Roadmaps and docs

Roadmaps from several teams can be combined into one company view, and docs and wiki pages are written in the same tool as the boards.

No-code automations

Automations assign reviewers, notify people or move cards when something changes. Plans include 25, 5,000 or 25,000 automation actions.

Developer integrations

Jira issues sync both ways with Favro cards, and GitHub and GitLab commits and merge requests attach to cards and can move them when code is merged.

Trello

Boards, lists and cards

Work is laid out as cards in lists on a board. Cards are unlimited on every plan; the Free plan allows up to 10 boards per Workspace.

Inbox

Captures to-dos from email, Slack and other sources into a personal Inbox. It is included on the Free plan.

Planner

Brings a synced calendar into Trello so blocks of focus time can be set aside for work. Full Planner access starts on the Standard plan.

Automation

Built-in automation is metered by Workspace command runs: 250 a month on Free, 1,000 on Standard and unlimited on Premium.

Premium views

Premium adds Calendar, Timeline, Table, Dashboard and Map views, including Workspace-level views that span boards.

Power-Ups and integrations

Power-Ups link boards to other tools, with unlimited Power-Ups per board on every plan. An MCP server connects Trello to AI tools.
