It scales past one board
Multi-project timelines, portfolios and cross-project search are native rather than assembled from Power-Ups.
Comparison
Taskzin vs Trello

TrelloThe short answer
Choose Taskzin if your team has outgrown a single board and needs dependencies, timelines and reporting. Choose Trello if you want the simplest possible Kanban and nothing else. Trello is excellent at one board; the moment you need to see across projects, track capacity or answer "when will this ship", you are stacking Power-Ups to reach what Taskzin does natively.

Where Taskzin wins
Four things we do better than Trello.
Dependencies and dates that mean something
Move a date and downstream work reschedules. In Trello a due date is a label with a colour.
Reporting without a plugin bill
Dashboards, velocity and cycle time are included instead of being three separate paid Power-Ups.
Same simplicity where you want it
The Taskzin board view is deliberately as quick as Trello for teams that only want a board.
The other side
Where Trello is genuinely better
- Nothing is faster to learn — a new person is productive in about five minutes.
- The free plan is genuinely generous for very small teams and personal use.
- Butler automation is unusually approachable for non-technical users.
- If you truly only need one board, the extra structure in Taskzin is overhead.
If those matter more to you than speed and a single bill, Trello is the better buy. We would rather say so now.
Migration
Moving off Trello takes about an hour.
Read-only on the source, sandboxed on the target, reversible at every step.
1
Connect the old tool
Authorise read access with OAuth. Nothing is written to your existing workspace at any point — the importer is read-only on the source.
Typical time: 2 minutes2
Map the fields
Projects, statuses, custom fields, assignees and comment history are mapped automatically. You review the mapping and override anything that looks wrong.
Typical time: 15 minutes3
Dry run and preview
The import runs into a sandbox workspace first. Walk through the result with your team before a single task lands in the real one.
Typical time: 30 minutes4
Go live, or roll back
Promote the sandbox to your live workspace. If anything is off, one click reverses the whole import and you carry on where you were.
Typical time: 5 minutes“Trello got us to twelve people. At thirty we were running six boards and a spreadsheet to tie them together.”

Yes. The importer maps projects, statuses, custom fields, assignees, comments and attachments from Trello, runs into a sandbox first, and can be rolled back in one click. Most teams finish in under an hour.
Usually, because guests are free and features are not spread across tiers. The honest answer is that it depends on your mix of editors and viewers — the pricing page shows the full breakdown with no "contact us" gaps.
Yes, and we recommend it for one sprint. Nothing is deleted from Trello during import, so both tools stay usable while your team settles in.
Then use it. The section above lists exactly where it wins. We would rather you pick the right tool than churn in three months.
Other comparisons
Try Taskzin next to Trello for a sprint.
Import is reversible and nothing is deleted from your current tool. Run both, keep the one your team opens first.
