The short version
Trello made the kanban board understandable to everyone. Columns for states, cards for tasks, drag and done. For a team that wants to make a shared workflow visible, it is still one of the simplest answers.
Aevo looks similar and works differently. There are no columns to maintain. Every task gets a score from deadline, date, priority and postponements. What matters stands first. What takes long is large. You drag nothing from left to right; the board orders itself.

What Trello does better
- Working together. Shared boards, assignments, comments, permissions. Aevo has no team features.
- Modelling a workflow. When a card travels through fixed stages, columns are exactly right.
- Extensibility. Power-Ups, automation and connections to nearly everything.
What Aevo does differently
Nobody has to move cards. A board maintained by hand is as current as its last tidy-up. Aevo recalculates the order every time you open it.
Size shows effort. A four-hour task takes more room than a fifteen-minute one. You see how much work lies ahead, not just how many cards.
A day has a size. Aevo takes your meetings off your working hours and marks which tasks still fit into today.
Break things down deeply. Any task can be opened and split into subtasks and groups, with no lower limit: subtasks to any depth.
If you want to move
Trello exports a board as CSV on the paid plans. Aevo reads a CSV table with a title column, this one included: settings, account, import data. Title, description and due date come along. You will not need the columns any more.
Which one suits you
Trello suits you if several people need to see a shared workflow.
Aevo suits you if the tasks are your own and you do not want to maintain what comes next. See the pricing or start for free.
