Kanban Tool vs Teamhood

Kanban Tool

• Teams that run kanban with WIP limits and flow metrics
• Organizations that must keep board data on their own servers
• Two-person teams whose work fits on the free plan's 2 boards

Teamhood

• Engineering, architecture and agency teams that share people across projects
• Managers who need to see who is overbooked before assigning work
• Teams that want planning features without tiered upgrades

Kanban Tool

• The Free plan is limited to 2 boards and 2 users and has no file attachments.
• Time tracking, process automation and user groups are only on the Enterprise plan at $11 per user / month.
• The pricing page shows one per-user monthly price; annual billing exists, but its price is not listed.
• Kanban Tool On-Site is sold in 10-user annual license packs, with pricing only on request.

Teamhood

• The current pricing page has no free plan: after the free month an organization must subscribe or it closes.
• A subscription needs at least 3 licenses, and listed prices exclude VAT.
• Single sign-on, SCIM and dedicated, hybrid or on-premise hosting are Enterprise only.
• The older Teamhood Classic, with a free Personal plan and Team and Business tiers, is priced on a separate page for Classic workspaces.

Kanban Tool

Kanban boards with swimlanes

Work is shown as cards on boards with horizontal swimlanes, work-in-progress limits, collapsible columns and predefined, customizable board templates.

Real-time collaboration

Board changes appear across team devices as they happen, with comments, task assignments, email notifications and due date reminders.

Flow analytics

A cumulative flow diagram, cycle time reports and breakdown charts show where work is piling up. Board analytics are included on every plan.

Time tracking and automation

The Enterprise plan adds time tracking with time reports and process automation. Recurring and postponed tasks with reminders are also listed.

Power-Ups

More than 30 optional Power-Ups add an interactive calendar, task dependencies, card covers, checklists and developer tools for custom styles and scripts.

AI Assistant

The assistant builds a board from a description of the work and suggests checklist items and tasks, using an OpenAI integration.

Teamhood

One set of items, many views

List, board, Gantt, schedule, mind map, timesheet and chart views all show the same items, so a change made in one view appears in every other.

Capacity planning

Weekly hours, part-time contracts, vacations and half days are set per person, and booked hours are shown against capacity across all projects.

Gantt with dependencies

Dependencies reschedule linked work when a task moves, hours flow around time off, and a plan can be compared against a saved baseline.

Timesheets and time tracking

Hours are logged in a timesheet view, and estimates, budget and tracked time add up from tasks to the project level.

Custom types, fields and automation

Custom item types and fields, formula and roll-up fields and automation rules let a team model programs, phases and roles the way it plans them.

MCP server, REST API and webhooks

An MCP server lets assistants such as Claude, ChatGPT or Copilot find and update work within the user's permissions. A REST API with an OpenAPI document and webhooks serve other systems.
