Trello

Atlassian

4,0 Very good
Outside EU Project & productivity Freemium ISO 27001

Kanban boards from Atlassian where tasks move between columns as they get done. The free plan covers a small team, while the AI features live in the paid plans. Trello is covered by Atlassian's ISO 27001, ISO 27018 and SOC 2 certifications, but lacks EU data residency according to Atlassian's own documentation.

  • The free version covers a small team's basic needs without requiring a paid plan.
  • The Kanban boards are self-explanatory, so the team gets started with no training.
  • No EU data residency. Atlassian's own documentation confirms that Trello does not offer storage within the EU.

Best for: A small team (a three-person agency, say) that wants a shared to-do board with no onboarding.

  • Writes and summarises directly in the notes where you already work, without switching tools.
  • Handy for teams that already keep their material in Notion.
  • Requires that you use Notion; it is not a standalone AI service.
