Scrumpy vs Trello

Real scrum, not just
a kanban board

Trello is a lovely kanban board, and for simple lists it is hard to beat. But scrum needs more than columns. Scrumpy gives you sprints, story points, a real backlog and epics out of the box, without stacking up Power-Ups to fake them.

What you get with Scrumpy

Free seats, no limit

You only pay for the people who actively manage the work. Stakeholders, clients and viewers come along for free, however many of them you have.

Everything is included

No paid add-on that one person needs but the whole team has to fund. The features you see are the features you get.

No lock-in

Your data is yours. Export it whenever you want and leave the day you decide to. We would rather earn the renewal than trap you into it.

A bill you can actually read

One flat price per editor, billed monthly or annually. No quote calls, no add-on math, no invoice that takes an hour to decode.

Modern and real time

The board updates live as your team moves cards, so everyone is looking at the same picture without hitting refresh.

Columns you control

You pick which statuses show as columns on the board. Keep a terminal status like Won't do off it, so the board stays lean and your active columns are always in the same place, not appearing and disappearing as they empty out.

Trello Premium

≈ $125/mo

About $12.50 per user monthly. Trello Standard is cheaper at roughly $60/mo, but you would be adding Power-Ups to make kanban behave like scrum.

When Trello is the better fit

If your work really is simple lists and checklists, Trello is fast, friendly and hard to beat, and it can cost less. Scrumpy is for teams that have outgrown the board and want proper sprints, estimation and a backlog without bolting on a dozen Power-Ups.
