BackZinx OS vs Trello
Trello is one of the simplest ways to run a board, and that simplicity is the whole appeal. Zinx OS is a business OS where the board is one feature among many. Here is where each one fits.
| Dimension | Zinx OS | Trello | Edge |
|---|---|---|---|
| Approach | Opinionated business OS: leads, projects, time, invoices, and chat share one data model. | A simple, flexible kanban board you extend with Power-Ups. | Even |
| Project management | First-class projects, each with kanban, files, time, and a chat channel. | Boards, lists, and cards. Clean and fast for light projects. | Zinx OS |
| CRM | Built-in leads and clients with a pipeline and Gmail outreach. | None. You add a separate CRM. | Zinx OS |
| Time tracking | Built-in timer that logs to tasks and rolls up to invoices. | None without a Power-Up or third-party tool. | Zinx OS |
| Invoicing | Built-in, generated from tracked time with branded PDFs. | None. | Zinx OS |
| Simplicity | More to learn because it does more. | Extremely easy to pick up. Hard to beat for a single board. | Trello |
| Price for a 5-person team | $19/month, 5 seats, everything included. | Cheap per board, but CRM, time, and invoicing are paid separately. | Zinx OS |
If a single board is all you need, Trello is delightful and hard to beat. If you are running client work end to end, Zinx OS replaces Trello plus the CRM, time tracker, and invoicing tool you would otherwise bolt on.
