Hygger vs Trello (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Hygger if

• Fits if you want Kanban and Scrum boards with feature scoring
• Works for small teams that stay under 50 tasks

Look elsewhere if

• Tight if you stay free: 50 tasks and 100 MB are the limits
• Pricey if you need SSO, a branded workspace or unlimited API: Enterprise is $14 a user yearly
• Watch out: the FAQ says no refunds on cancellation or plan downgrades
• Skip it if you want a desktop or phone app, as only a web app is described

Pick Trello if

• Fits if you plan your work as cards moving across a board, alone or in a small team
• Works for groups of up to 10 who want to share a Workspace without paying

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if you want a timeline, calendar or table view, as those need Premium at $10 a user a month
• Tight if you're staying free: 10 boards, 10 collaborators, 10MB a file and 250 command runs a month
• Too light for work where one task blocks another, since no dependencies or time tracking are on record
• Skip it if you want AI features or the full Planner for free, as both start on Standard at $5
• Watch out: Enterprise's $17.50 a user is an estimate that changes with user count, and it's billed annually

Sprints use story point or hour estimates, with burndown charts, velocity and sprint release reports.

Value and effort prioritization

Ideas, features, tasks or projects can be scored on value against effort, sorted on an Eisenhower matrix, or ranked with custom scoring frameworks.

Roadmaps and timeline

Plans can be shown as roadmaps to share with team members and stakeholders, alongside a timeline view and a task list.

Time logs

Customer quotes on the homepage mention time logs and time tracking; the pricing page does not say which plan includes them.
