Todoist vs Trello: our take

Todoist takes the higher SoftwareScore, 74 to 72. That's close enough that fit matters more than the number.

Todoist pulls ahead on Ease and Power (Ease 9 vs 8), which makes it the stronger pick for undefined.

Trello pulls ahead on Collab (Collab 8 vs 6), which makes it the stronger pick for undefined.

The clearest divide is Collab (Todoist 6, Trello 8). If that axis is central to how you work, let it settle the choice.

On price they're close: Todoist is Free · $5/mo and Trello is Free · $5/mo, so cost is unlikely to decide it.
