Which one is for you
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
Pick Yanado if
- Fits if you live in Gmail and want emails turned into tasks
- Works for a solo user who wants a free list tied to their inbox
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you do not use Google accounts, as it is a Gmail tool
- Tight if you work in a team: sharing and templates start on Startup at $6
- Pricey if you want automations, reports and custom fields, which are Premium at $15
- Watch out: the money-back guarantee covers monthly contracts only, within 30 days
How we grade them
| 2.8GPATrelloGood | 2.8GPAYanadoGood | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | BStandard is $5 a user a month billed annually, which lands inside the cheapest quarter for project tools here, and brings unlimited boards, AI features, the full Planner and custom fields. Premium doubles that to $10 for the extra views. | BStartup is $6 a user a month billed annually, which is the top of the cheaper quarter. Premium is $15. |
| Free plan and trial | 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. | BFree for individuals with unlimited tasks and lists, card and list views, reminders and Google Drive. A 14-day trial covers the paid plans. |
| Features | CIt covers boards, lists and cards, 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. | CEmails to tasks, shared emails, boards, reminders and reports. Slack and Zapier links and templates need Startup, and workflows, reports and custom fields are Premium. It is a Gmail tool. |
| Ease of use | 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 simple: a card moves from one list to the next. | BNo store rating on record. It sits in an inbox you already use, so there is little to set up. |
| Platforms and integrations | 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. | BWeb, a browser extension and Android, with Gmail, Google Calendar, Drive, Slack and Zapier links. No iPhone or desktop app on record. |

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
