Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.8
GPA, above 85 of the 111 other project management tools we grade
Yanado is a Chrome extension and web app that adds task lists, boards and shared emails to Gmail. Emails can be turned into tasks, assigned to teammates and tracked on Trello-style boards, with reminders synced to Google Calendar. It is made by a company based in Sofia, Bulgaria.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Yanado, taken from its own pages and our grades.
It sits in an inbox you already use, so there is little to set up.

The report card
Best for turning Gmail messages into tasks
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| 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. Slack and Zapier links and templates need Startup, and workflows, reports and custom fields are Premium. It is a Gmail tool. |
| Ease of use | B | No store rating on record. It sits in an inbox you already use, so there is little to set up. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web, a browser extension and Android, with Gmail, Google Calendar, Drive, Slack and Zapier links. No iPhone or desktop app on record. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Yanado you would be making one mailbox that several people work at once. 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.
What you could make
- Tasks, kanban boards and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- One mailbox that several people work at once.
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- A real app for Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
What this rests on. Yanado’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
