Trello made kanban mainstream, and for personal projects or a single shared list it is still delightful. Teams outgrow it the same way every time: sprints need Power-Ups, docs live elsewhere, reporting is minimal, and support requests arrive by email.
Kapvel keeps the drag-and-drop heart — boards are just as immediate — while everything a growing team reaches for next is already there: backlog and sprints, wiki with office docs, SLA service desk, QA, time tracking, automation.
From board to delivery
Cards in Kapvel are full issues with subtasks, estimates, custom fields, linked PRs, and activity history. When the team is ready for sprints, the same issues flow into backlog planning, burndown, and velocity without re-entry.
Honest Trello advantages
Trello's free tier is generous for tiny boards, and its simplicity is unmatched for non-work lists. If a shared checklist genuinely covers your needs, keep Trello.

Frequently asked questions
Is Kapvel as easy as Trello?
The board experience is equally drag-and-drop, and small teams can ignore everything else until needed. The Free plan (3 members, 2 projects) mirrors a Trello-simple start.
Why move a Trello team to Kapvel?
When you need sprints, docs, customer support, or time tracking, Trello requires Power-Ups and extra tools; Kapvel includes them natively under one bill.
