Trello's boards are great — until you hit the 10-board cap or realize calendar view is a paid Power-Up. Here are 8 alternatives that give you kanban plus more, ranked by what you get on the free plan.
Kanban plus list and calendar views for every project — no Power-Ups, no 10-board cap, and no paid tier.
Team project management with list, board, and calendar views. Free plan capped at 10 collaborators; timelines are paid.
Docs + databases with a kanban view. Great for a DIY workspace; slow at scale and no built-in task inbox.
Feature-packed platform with board, list, gantt, and doc views. Powerful but heavy.
Kanban and scrum boards built for software engineering teams. Overkill for lightweight work.
Colorful work OS with kanban, timeline, and dashboards. No free tier for teams over 2 seats.
Message boards, to-dos, and schedules with a flat-fee price. No kanban board view by default.
Open-source, self-hosted kanban. Free if you run your own server; no comments/attachments UI polish.
We compared each tool on kanban feature parity with Trello, additional views (list, calendar, timeline), free-tier limits (boards, users, storage), collaboration (comments, attachments), and total cost after any trial. Tools requiring paid add-ons for calendar view were ranked lower.
todo.bytesvibe. It ships kanban, list, and calendar views for every project on the free plan, has no 10-board cap, and includes comments and attachments without Power-Ups.
The three most common reasons are the 10-board-per-workspace cap on Trello's free plan, calendar and timeline views being gated behind paid Power-Ups, and the lack of a task inbox across boards.

Yes. Kanboard and Wekan are the most popular open-source, self-hosted options. Both require you to run your own server.
