Trello made Kanban boards simple, and many teams start there to organise their work. Wizard Application has Kanban boards too, as one view of a project management tool that also connects to time tracking, invoicing, a sales CRM and HR.
If you are choosing between them, this guide sets out how they compare, where each one is strong, and which kind of business each suits best.
At a glance
| Wizard Application | Trello | |
|---|---|---|
| Boards | Kanban boards with WIP limits, card templates, checklists, subtasks and dependencies | The core product, with boards, lists and cards |
| Other views | Gantt charts, backlogs and sprints | Table, timeline, calendar, dashboard and map views on its Premium plan |
| Time tracking | Included, and hours flow into invoices | Through Power-Ups |
| Invoicing | Included, raised from tracked time | Not part of Trello |
| Sales CRM | A dedicated CRM with pipelines, quotes and invoices | Built from boards and Power-Ups |
| HR and hiring | HR and a recruitment ATS included | Not part of Trello |
Where Trello is strong
Trello is about as easy to pick up as software gets. Boards, lists and cards make sense straight away, and Power-Ups let teams add what they need, from calendars to time tracking. For small teams with simple workflows, it is hard to beat for speed of adoption.
Where Wizard Application is different
- Boards that grow with you. Kanban boards are one view of project management that also offers Gantt charts, backlogs and sprints on the same data.
- Built in rather than bolted on. Time tracking, invoicing and reporting are part of the platform, not separate Power-Ups to choose and maintain.
- Time that becomes invoices. Hours logged against cards roll into timesheets and then into invoices.
- Clients and people too. A sales CRM, HR and a help desk live in the same workspace.
- We move you across. Our migration team maps your boards, lists and cards into projects and tasks, and you check everything on a staging link before you switch.
Which should you choose
Trello may suit you better if you need simple boards for a small team, and you are happy to add Power-Ups and separate tools for everything else.
Wizard Application may suit you better if your boards represent client work that needs to be tracked, timed and billed, and you want sales, delivery and people in one place.
Moving from Trello
If you decide to switch, our migration service starts with a free assessment. We map your data, give you a private staging link to check everything, and you keep working in Trello until you are ready, so there is no downtime.
When you are ready to compare the two properly, see our plans or request a free migration assessment.
