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.
Best for: A small team (a three-person agency, say) that wants a shared to-do board with no onboarding.
Pros
- 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.
- The security work is well documented: ISO 27001, ISO 27018 and SOC 2 with Trello in scope.
Cons
- No EU data residency. Atlassian's own documentation confirms that Trello does not offer storage within the EU.
- For larger projects with dependencies and reporting, the boards fall short.
- The AI features are an add-on in the paid plans, not part of the free tool.
