If you are looking for ready to use kanban board for teams, with unlimited boards and members 4ga Boards is winning in this comparison. Trello, even in Standard ($6) tier, is missing many features (like simple CSV export or assinging due dates and members in card's tasks). The Pro tier of 4ga Boards has all features you would need to start project management with Kanban boards right away.
4ga Boards is also a better choice if you, as an admin of your organization, want to keep full control over the security and admin settings. Suprisingly, this feature is locked in Trello's premium tiers, starting from $12.5. As an conscious administrator knowing how valuable proper management of user's permissions is, we recommend choosing 4ga Boards Pro or Enterprise plans, starting from $6.
We are also actively developing our software and we will be adding new features and enchancements to already existing components. Rest assured - we will include every one of them in our current tiers - we are not planning to add any more tiers in our subscription model. No hidden fees, no popups trying to make you switch for a higher subscription. We believe you, as our customer, deserve a fair treatment.
