What Trello does well
- Extremely simple, visual, and fast to learn
- Great for lightweight personal and small-team tracking
- Large Power-Up marketplace and integrations
- A usable free tier for very small teams
Trello Alternative: Project Management
Trello is simple, but it hits a ceiling as your team grows and the per-seat bill adds up. Project Management keeps the boards you like and adds cycles, roadmaps, and modules for $29/mo flat.

Straight talk
Where each one wins
Where Trello may still be the better fit
- You only need simple cards and lists
- You depend on a specific Trello Power-Up
- Your team is tiny and the free tier is enough
- You want zero setup and zero server care
Our honest take: if a single board is all you need, Trello's free tier is hard to beat. If you're outgrowing cards and lists and want sprints, roadmaps, and unlimited seats without a per-user bill, Project Management on our hosting is the honest choice.
Making the move
How to switch from Trello
Moving from Trello to Managed project management on Last Hour Hosting is a guided process. Here is what it looks like, step by step.
Step 1
Export your Trello boards as JSON or CSV using Trello's export options.
Step 2
Send us the exports and we import boards, lists, and cards into project management.
Step 3
Recreate labels, members, and due dates, then set up your team and views.
Step 4
Check that open cards and attachments carried over, then archive the Trello boards.
The upside
Why Managed Project Management is a strong Trello alternative
- Project Management is open source and self-hosted, so your boards and project data stay on your own server.
- A flat $29/mo covers your team instead of Trello's per-user pricing as you add collaborators.
- Project Management adds cycles, modules, and richer reporting beyond Trello's simple card-and-list model.
Frequently asked questions
Can I import my Trello boards into project management?
Yes. We can bring your Trello boards, lists, and cards across into project management so your history and workflow stay intact.
Is project management more than just a kanban board?
Yes. Project Management adds cycles (sprints), modules, roadmaps, multiple views, and project analytics on top of kanban boards, while staying simple enough for teams that liked Trello.
Does project management charge per user like Trello?
No. Our project management hosting is $29/mo flat with unlimited seats, because the instance runs on your own server rather than per-seat pricing.
Is project management harder to learn than Trello's simple boards?
Project Management keeps boards and cards familiar, so the basics feel like Trello. It adds cycles, modules, and views for teams that need more structure, and you can ignore those if a simple board is all you want.
Can I bring over Trello card attachments and checklists?
Text fields, checklists, and card details import from Trello's export. Attachments stored as links carry across, while files hosted by Trello may need re-uploading, and we flag any during migration.
