Why teams switch from Trello

The differences that actually change how your team works — not the marketing fluff.

Live cursor tracking

See exactly where your teammates are looking and editing, in real time. Trello's boards go stale the moment you open them.

Real-time presence

Know who is viewing, editing or dragging right now. Detailed status goes beyond "online" dots.

Integrated board chat

Discuss work where it's happening. No context-switching to Slack just to coordinate a card.

AI task breakdown

Turn a one-line card into actionable subtasks. Gryphin ships AI on every plan; Trello gates it behind Premium.

Dashboard & analytics

Burndowns, throughput, cycle time — all built in. Trello calls it "Dashboard view" and locks it behind Premium.

Trello vs Gryphin — FAQ

Will my Trello boards import cleanly?+
Yes. We support Trello's JSON export end-to-end: cards, lists, labels, comments, attachments, members, checklists, due dates and Power-Up metadata where possible. Most workspaces finish in under 60 seconds.
Does Gryphin have Power-Ups?+
Most popular Power-Ups ship as core features in Gryphin — Calendar, Custom Fields, Dashboard, Board Chat, Automation are all built in, not add-ons. We also integrate natively with Slack, GitHub, Google Drive and Notion.
Is Gryphin really free for small teams?+
Yes. Up to 3 seats and 5 boards, forever free. The real-time features activate once you add a payment method (to prevent abuse) but stay on the free tier.
What about Butler automation?+
Our automation engine supports triggers, conditions, and multi-step actions with more generous limits than Butler on every equivalent tier. If you have a complex Butler rule, email us — we'll port it for you.
Can I run Gryphin and Trello side by side during migration?+
Absolutely. Many teams run both for a couple of weeks, then sunset Trello once the new workflow sticks. Your Trello data stays untouched during import.
