Why Teams Switch from Trello
The pattern we hear most: a great board that stops being enough on its own
It comes up most with software teams and event planners who need a timeline view alongside the board, not a separate Power-Up.

Redbooth vs Trello: Common Questions
Is Redbooth harder to learn than Trello?
Redbooth's board view works the same way Trello's does — drag cards between columns. The difference is what's available beyond the board: timeline, chat, video, and time tracking are already there instead of needing separate Power-Ups.
Can I import my Trello boards into Redbooth?
Yes. You can bring over your boards, cards, and due dates so your team doesn't lose existing work during the move.
Does Redbooth have a free plan like Trello?
Yes, Redbooth has a free plan you can start on immediately, with a 14-day trial of paid features if you want to test the full workspace first.
Why do teams switch from Trello to Redbooth?
The most common reason is outgrowing what a single board can show — teams that need to see dependencies and timelines, or that are tired of maintaining Power-Ups for chat, video, or time tracking, move to a workspace where those are built in.
Is there a free plan to try Redbooth first?
Yes, you can start a free trial with no credit card required and test the full feature set with your real projects before deciding.
