Key features

KanbanFlow

Kanban board with WIP limits
Columns are customized to match a workflow, and each can carry a limit on how many tasks it holds. Subtasks are checked off directly on the board.
Pomodoro and stopwatch timers
Time is tracked on a task with a Pomodoro timer or a plain stopwatch, or logged by hand. The time spent report filters and groups the logged time.
Swimlanes and relations
Premium boards can be split into horizontal swimlanes, and tasks can be related to one another across boards, for example to a portfolio board.
Timeline view
A Premium timeline, labeled Timeline / Gantt, spreads tasks across days so they can be dragged or resized to adjust the plan.
Analytics and forecasting
Premium adds cumulative flow, burndown, throughput and cycle and lead time charts, plus Monte Carlo forecasting of future outcomes.
API and integrations
Premium includes a REST API with webhooks, Zapier, adding tasks by email, a calendar feed, and file attachments from Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive and Box.

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.
