Yanado runs task boards inside Gmail, so an email becomes a task without leaving your inbox. The free plan covers individuals with unlimited tasks, but it only works with Google accounts, teams need Startup at $6 a user, and automations, reports and guests are Premium at $15. - **Value for money: B.** Startup is $6 a user a month billed annually, which is the top of the cheaper quarter. Premium is $15. - **Free plan and trial: B.** Free for individuals with unlimited tasks and lists, card and list views, reminders and Google Drive. A 14-day trial covers the paid plans. - **Features: C.** Emails to tasks, shared emails, boards, reminders and reports.

That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.8 is higher than 85 of the 111 other project management tools we grade. It costs $72 a year. - You could make: Tasks, kanban boards and reports: an app builder makes these well. - You could not: One mailbox that several people work at once. - You could not: Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. - You could not: A real app for Android. Something home-made would be a web page. - You could not: It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
