Trello
Small teams running simple projects with Kanban boards; non-technical users who want visual task management without training; freelancers tracking client work
Lowest barrier to entry of any project management tool. Drag-and-drop Kanban is intuitive for anyone. Free plan is genuinely useful for small teams. Starts to show limits once projects get complex.
Teams needing Gantt charts, time tracking, or complex dependencies without Power-Up add-ons; projects with more than ~50 cards per board

“trello has gotten worse and worse actually could charge for features like n8n and more extensibility. Its gotten the opposite of kanban and zen where I just want clean cards it forces weird views and panels and overlays and difficult to find boards now it wants you to switch to other atlassian products from trello as a priority on the left over just trello unfortunately its the classic indie product amazing then eaten by Private equity until just crumbs are left and its just an acquisition vehicle until it turns rotten and shut down as a cost saver.”
