Comparison

Zuuna vs Trello: the Trello alternative with more power

Trello's simplicity, but with sprints, time tracking, documents and git — GDPR-compliant and hosted in Germany. The honest comparison.

Last updated:

Trello is beautifully simple — until your team needs more: sprints, time tracking, documents, real reporting. Zuuna keeps Trello’s lightness and gives you the rest, without switching to a second tool.

Where Zuuna wins

  • More than a board. Table, calendar (with Google/Outlook/Apple sync), documents and automations are built in — not stitched together from Power-Ups.
  • For teams that grow. When to-dos become real projects, sprints, capacity and reports are already there.
  • GDPR-compliant. Hosted in Germany instead of on US servers.

The Trello simplicity stays

No overkill: a new board takes seconds. The extra features only show up when you need them.

Moving from Trello

Export your cards to Excel/CSV and import them into Zuuna — during import you map columns like title, status and fields. A dedicated Trello importer is on the roadmap; the CSV path works today.

If you decide to switch

Export a Trello board and migrate — using the JSON export, which every board has.

FAQ

Can I import my boards from Trello?

Yes. Board menu → Share → Export as JSON, then upload it. Lists become columns in their own order, along with descriptions, labels, due dates, members, checklists with their tick state, and comments. The attachment files themselves, Power-Ups, covers and votes stay behind.

Is Zuuna as simple as Trello?

Yes — getting started is just as fast: create a board, add columns, drag cards. The extra features are there when you need them, without getting in the way.

Is Zuuna GDPR-compliant?

Yes. Zuuna is hosted in Germany, with a DPA — unlike Trello (Atlassian, a US vendor).

Switching is duller than you think.

Connect Jira with an API token, or let Zuuna read Trello from its JSON export — both with the field mapping already filled in. Any other tool you export to CSV or Excel. The import runs once; it does not sync. Then try it for 14 days, no credit card.
