How to choose

What will the software cost?

Check the free-plan mark, paid starting price and whether a trial is offered. Pricing can be per user or a monthly amount, and some listed prices require annual billing.

Look for a nonprofit discount before comparing plans. The board includes nonprofit discount as a comparison point.

Which project views does your team need?

Choose based on how your team needs to see and organize project work. Project views are a comparison point on the board.

Check task limits too: tasks per project is another listed comparison, and limits can affect whether a plan fits your work.

Can it automate your team's workflow?

Compare workflow automation options if you want routine steps to happen without someone managing each one. The board compares this feature, but specific automation details are not provided here.

Can volunteers and partners collaborate?

Check guest collaboration if people outside the core team need to participate. Also compare mobile app availability with the platforms your team uses, including Android, iOS, web, Windows or macOS.

Do you need an API or open-source code?

Use the API mark to check for a public API, which lets other software connect to a tool. Use the open-source mark if you need code that can be inspected or changed.

The free-tier mark indicates a free plan. Check the individual listing for its plan and pricing details.
