Best Trello Alternatives in 2026

There are 3 replacements in our index for Trello. We describe what each one is good at and what it gives up. Every entry links to the vendor's own pricing page, because published prices change and we would rather you check than trust.

What readers commonly dislike about Trello

  • No real dependency management between cards
  • Reporting and workload views are shallow next to dedicated project tools
  • Power-Ups are needed for anything beyond basic boards

Options in our index

1

Asana

Docs & Productivity

Visit Asana

Asana organises work into projects with several views over the same data, so different teams can read one plan differently. It is built for coordination rather than personal task lists, and the timeline, workload and reporting features that make it useful sit above the free tier.

Pricing: Free tier for small teams; paid plans are per seat with more views and reportingconfirm on Asana's site ↗

Strengths

  • List, board, timeline and calendar views over the same tasks
  • Rules automate routine task updates
  • Handles cross-team projects with dependencies
  • Integrations with common workplace tools

Trade-offs

  • Timeline, workload and reporting need paid tiers
  • Less suited to personal task management than a dedicated to-do app
  • Complex projects need deliberate setup

2

monday.com

Docs & Productivity

Visit monday.com

monday.com builds boards and automations that teams shape around their own process, which makes it flexible across marketing, operations and sales. The flexibility is also the cost: setup takes thought before it pays off, and per-seat pricing climbs as more people are added.

Pricing: Free tier for a small number of seats; paid plans are per seat billed monthly or annuallyconfirm on monday.com's site ↗

Strengths

  • Boards can be configured per team
  • Automations move items without manual updates
  • Dashboards summarise across boards
  • Templates for common workflows

Trade-offs

  • Setup takes real configuration before it pays off
  • Per-seat pricing grows with the team
  • Some views and automations sit on higher tiers

3

Todoist

Docs & Productivity

Visit Todoist

Todoist is built around capturing tasks quickly and getting them out of the way, with natural-language dates, filters and labels. It is lighter than a project platform, so resource planning, dependencies and reporting are not what you get.

Pricing: Free tier for personal use; paid plans are per user and add reminders, filters and collaborationconfirm on Todoist's site ↗

Strengths

  • Adding a task is quick from any device
  • Natural-language dates and recurring tasks
  • Filters and labels support a personal system
  • Shared projects for small teams

Trade-offs

  • Little support for dependencies or resource planning
  • Collaboration features sit on the paid plan
  • Reporting is minimal compared with project tools
