The Trello Alternative for Projects That Grow Beyond Cards
Keep the Kanban board. Add infinite hierarchy, Gantt timelines, and AI that execute your tasks.
Trello is beloved for simplicity — and that's exactly where it breaks. The moment a project gets complex, you're fighting cards that can't nest, timeline and table views locked behind Premium ($10/user/month as of July 2026), and a free tier capped at 10 boards and 10 collaborators. Taskpend keeps the Kanban board you love and adds every dimension Trello reserves for paid plans.
Why switch
What Taskpend does that Trello doesn't
Kanban Cards With Infinite Depth
In Trello, a card's complexity is limited to a checklist. In Taskpend, every card can have infinite nested subtasks — epics containing stories containing tasks containing checklists. Switch to Outliner view to plan the full hierarchy, then flip to Kanban to track status.
Built-in Gantt Timeline — On Every Plan
Trello's Timeline view is locked behind Premium ($10/user/mo annual). In Taskpend, the Gantt/Roadmap view is always available — free tier included. Set start and end dates on any task at any depth, visualize your project timeline, and see the critical path — all without leaving your workspace.
Task Mirroring: Share Kanban Cards Across Teams
Trello added Mirror cards in 2025 — but only on paid plans, and only inside workspaces you're invited to. In Taskpend, mirroring is free: @mention a teammate on any task and it appears in their Kanban board, synced in real-time, no workspace invite required. When they move the card to 'Done,' the update flows back to your board instantly. One task, everywhere it needs to be.
