Trello alternative

The Trello alternative
built for marketing agencies.

Trello is the simplest way to run a kanban board, and many small agencies and freelancers start there. Cards, lists and a generous free tier make it easy to adopt, with Power-Ups adding extra capability.

Start free Chillhi vs Trello

What Trello does well

  • Genuinely easy: anyone understands it in minutes
  • Generous free tier for small teams
  • Power-Ups add calendars, automations and integrations when needed

Where agencies feel the gaps

  • Structure stays light: recurring multi-client work outgrows boards quickly
  • No client context, content tooling, approvals or reporting built in
  • Scaling means stacking Power-Ups and separate tools back up

Side by side

Choose Trello if

  • You are a very small team that needs a shared to-do board and nothing more
  • Budget is the constraint and the free tier covers you
  • You prefer the simplest possible tool even if other work lives elsewhere

Choose Chillhi if

  • You have outgrown boards and are re-buying tools for content, approvals and reporting
  • You want each client to have a profile, a workspace and a report, not just a list
  • Chillhi starts free too, so simple does not have to mean separate tools
