Where Each One
Is Stronger
Where Trello is stronger
Simplicity
Boards, lists and cards are understood in seconds. NoaBox asks a little more of you in return for sprints and docs.
A generous free plan
Up to 10 collaborators with unlimited cards and Power-Ups, and 250 automation runs a month.
Apps everywhere
Web, desktop, iOS and Android apps on every plan, including Free.
Power-Ups
200+ apps and tools, and an official GitHub Power-Up that shows pull-request and check status on cards.
Certifications
Trello lists SOC 2 Type 2, ISO/IEC 27001 and PCI-DSS. NoaBox doesn't hold these certifications today.
Where NoaBox is stronger
Built for sprints
A backlog, sprints with a goal and dates, five priority levels and work-item types, on every plan.
More views without upgrading
Backlog, board, list, calendar and archive on Free. Trello's calendar and table views need Premium.
Docs and files in the project
Pages for specs and decisions and a drive with previews, so the context sits next to the work.
Noa, even on Free
Draft tickets from a spec and ask questions about the work. Trello AI starts on Standard.
Flat price past 10 people
30 people cost $49 a month on NoaBox, against $180 on Trello Standard billed monthly.
Moving From Trello
Without Losing The Backlog
- 1
Export your cards
Export the board's cards from Trello into a CSV or spreadsheet.
- 2
Let Noa propose the work items
Attach the file in Ask Noa. It proposes the work items with priorities and acceptance criteria, and you confirm each one. There's no one-click importer yet.
- 3
Plan the first sprint
Group the backlog into a sprint with a goal and dates, then connect GitHub and Slack.
NoaBox vs Trello
If your team has outgrown cards and lists and wants a backlog, sprints and docs in one place, yes. If you want the simplest kanban board and native mobile apps, Trello is hard to beat.
Both have free plans for up to 10 people. NoaBox Free includes one project, the backlog, sprints, five views, pages and files, and Noa with 10 AI credits a month. Trello Free includes 10 boards per Workspace and unlimited cards, without AI.
Trello Standard is $6 per user a month billed monthly ($5 billed yearly), so 30 people cost $180 a month. NoaBox Pro covers up to 50 members for a flat $49 a month.
There's no one-click importer yet. Export your cards to a CSV or spreadsheet and attach it in Ask Noa: Noa proposes the work items, and you review them before anything is created.
