ithinki vs Trello
How difficult is it to switch?
Getting started only takes 60 seconds.
We don’t yet have an integration for Trello but feel free to get in touch at switch@ithinki.io and the team will help move your data over.
Does it cost more?
Both Trello and ithinki have a free tier, ithinki is a lot less restrictive on the free tier. The paid tier is similar pricing on both so you won’t be paying more on ithinki.
What extra will I get?
These tools serve different purposes, ithinki is designed with feedback in mind. Out of the box, you get user interaction from non-team members including posting new feedback cards, voting and commenting on existing items. There is also far more customization available on ithinki, meaning your users will feel as though they are on your site. You gain fine-grained control over what is publicly viewable vs what is only available to your team; allowing internal feedback and discussions on the customer facing board. Additionally, there are controls in place to de-duplicate similar feedback items, and powerful filters to help you manage your board, that are only available through bolt-ons with Trello.
Any drawbacks?
ithinki is in its early days, very much with feedback in mind, so there is some functionality missing that you’ll see on Trello. It’s not a fully fledged product management system, so assigning cards to users and putting estimates on cards are not yet available. Additionally, there is not yet a public API available as there is with Trello, and we don’t offer the vast number of bolt-ons you have access to on the paid Trello plan.
However, we are a fast-moving early stage startup so let us know your thoughts on https://ithinki.ithinki.io/b/feedback and there’s a good chance we’ll develop features you request!

ithinki is considerably cheaper than Discourse, with a simple and affordable pricing plan with fewer restrictions.
