What you give up vs Trello
- Intentionally minimal; lacks rich card content, comments threading, and modern UI of Trello
- No native mobile apps
- Automation is rule-based and basic
- No official cloud hosting
What you gain
- • Full data ownership — self-host Kanboard on your own infrastructure.
- • No per-seat SaaS bill (Trello: paywalls on power-ups and automation).
- • Open-source code you can audit and extend (MIT).
