Trello alternative
A Trello alternative that does more than boards
Love kanban but want a calendar, timeline and a proper task list too — without stacking up power-ups? Croniqs gives you all four views of the same tasks, built in. EU-hosted, from $3.99/month.
Why people switch from Trello
Trello’s boards are great for visualizing a workflow, but it’s board-first by design. To see your cards on a calendar or a timeline you need Trello Premium or power-ups, and for everyday personal task management — deadlines, priorities, recurring to-dos — the board model can feel like the wrong shape.
Croniqs keeps the kanban board you like and adds list, calendar and timeline views of the same tasks out of the box, plus recurring routines and reminders — in one calm, fast workspace.
Price & privacy at a glance
The views Trello reserves for Premium — calendar and timeline — are what Croniqs Pro is built around, at a flat $3.99 instead of a per-user seat. Trello’s free plan is genuinely generous for simple boards, so if boards are all you need, it may be enough.

Trello alternative — FAQ
Is Croniqs a good Trello alternative?
Yes, especially for personal tasks and projects. Trello is board-first and needs power-ups for calendar or timeline views. Croniqs gives you a kanban board plus list, calendar and timeline views built in — no add-ons. Pro is $3.99/month.
Does Croniqs have a kanban board like Trello?
Yes. Croniqs has a drag-and-drop kanban board with columns for to-do, in-progress, done and archived — and you can view the same tasks as a list, calendar or timeline whenever you need.
Is Croniqs cheaper than Trello?
For calendar and timeline views, yes by a lot. Those require Trello Premium at $10/user/month, while Croniqs includes all four views in Pro at $3.99/month. Trello also has a generous free plan for simple boards.
What does Trello do better?
Trello is stronger for collaborative team boards and has a huge Power-Up and integration ecosystem. If you run shared boards with a team, Trello may suit you better — Croniqs is built for personal task and project management.
