Todo4you vs Trello

When sticky-note simplicity stops being enough.

Why teams move from Trello to Todo4you

Trello is loved for its simplicity, but most teams hit a wall the moment they need time tracking, real engineering integrations, or recurring work. Todo4you keeps the kanban-first feel and adds the structure teams actually need to ship.

Five reasons to switch from Trello

  • Built-in time tracking with start/stop timers and per-user breakdowns.
  • Native git integrations for GitHub, GitLab, Gitea, and Bitbucket - no Power-Up shopping.
  • AI ticket creation and email-to-ticket included.
  • Recurring tickets, scheduled automations, and event triggers without third-party add-ons.
  • EU-hosted by default, not gated behind Enterprise.

When Trello is still the right choice

Stay with Trello if you only need a single board for personal tasks or simple marketing planning, and have no need for time tracking, git, or automations beyond Butler.

Frequently asked questions

Is Todo4you cheaper than Trello?

Yes for most small teams. Todo4you is one flat €9.99/month plan that includes 3 users, with packs of 5 extra users for €7.50/month per pack. Trello typically charges per seat with multiple plan tiers and paid add-ons for time tracking, automations or AI - costs that add up quickly past 3-5 users.

Can I migrate my data from Trello?

Yes. Todo4you has built-in importers for Jira, Trello, Asana, Pivotal Tracker, Zoho Projects, Zendesk and a generic CSV importer that covers most other tools, including Trello. The import preserves stories, statuses, owners, labels, comments and timestamps, and runs in under a minute for projects of a few thousand items.

Does Todo4you include time tracking and AI features?

Yes, both are included in the standard €9.99 plan with no add-ons. Time tracking has start/stop/pause timers, manual entries and per-user breakdowns. AI features include email-to-ticket (drop in an .eml and get a structured ticket), ticket summarization, translation and standup digests.

Where is my data stored compared to Trello?

Todo4you hosts all data in Germany (EU) and is GDPR-compliant by default - not as a paid Enterprise upgrade. Trello often defaults to US hosting and only offers EU residency on higher-tier plans, if at all.

How long does it take to switch from Trello?

Most small teams move from Trello to Todo4you in an afternoon. Export from your current tool, run the importer, map your statuses, and your team can keep working on the same tickets the next morning. The 15-day free trial gives you time to migrate without committing.
