Notion actually offers a Trello integration. Trello is a highly functional Kanban-style project management solution. It can work independently or within Notion as part of a bigger productivity program. Notion is more comprehensive when it comes to breaking down and establishing projects and to-do lists. Notion also serves as a company resource center with a personnel directory, mission page and company goals. Trello simplifies projects into bite-sized tasks, allowing you to assign and organize work. Where Trello keeps everyone on a team organized, Notion crosses teams and silos to make sure everyone is on the same page.

Why We Picked It
Notion is a productivity app that allows you to build a company home page, roadmap for projects and sprints, and track meetings. It gives you the ability to design docs with ease and has an engineering wiki that lets you design new projects, processes and best practices.
Notion has four plans you can subscribe to, with the first being the free Personal plan that is designed to keep a one-man operation organized. It offers unlimited pages and blocks and syncs across all devices. As you move into the Personal Pro plan for $8 per month (if billed annually), you get unlimited uploads, and it saves plans for 30 days so that you can look at different versions of what you create.
If you have a team, you’ll want to subscribe to the Team plan for $8 per person per month (if billed annually), which gives you everything that the Personal Pro plan does, plus a collaborative workspace, sharing permissions and admin tools. Enterprise plans can be customized and tailored to your company’s needs.

Why We Picked It
Trello is a drag-and-drop Kanban-style project management tool. The Trello board allows you to see the project and various stages with all stakeholders involved. You can switch from the board to other views that include a timeline, table, calendar, map, and dashboard in Premium and Enterprise versions, giving a better picture of project progress.
The Free plan is robust, allowing unlimited cards with unlimited individuals. It limits you to ten boards per workspace with assignments and due dates. For teams with more projects to manage, consider the Standard plan at $5 per person per month (if billed annually). With this plan, you get unlimited boards, advanced checklists and custom fields. You can have single board guests and save searches for convenience.
Stepping up to the Premium plan costs $10 per person per month (if billed annually). In this plan, you get additional admin and security features, templates and observers. Enterprise plans are $17.50 per user per month (billed annually) and offer unlimited workspaces, sophisticated permissions, public board management and attachment permissions.
