Business Studio vs Trello

The simplest board there is, versus a board that also runs the business.

Trello wins on immediacy: a board, some lists, cards you drag. Business Studio keeps that shape and adds the parts a business needs anyway — customers, deals, invoices, drafts — plus a Claude connector that can operate them.

Side by side

Trello Business Studio
The board Lists and cards, instantly understandable, with Power-Ups for anything more. The same instinct, ten card types deep: a card can be a task, a deal, an invoice or a post.
Where the AI sits Automation through Butler rules you write yourself. Claude drives the board from your chat and can create, update and publish.
Business back-office Power-Ups and third-party apps. Native: deals, customers, invoices, support tickets, email campaigns.
Money Not its job. Invoices in your own name, paid into your own Stripe account.
Setup A minute. Genuinely. One OAuth connection, about two minutes.

Where Trello is stronger

Simplicity, price and reach. Trello is free for small teams, universally understood, and has an app ecosystem plus Atlassian behind it. If all you need is a shared list, Trello is the lighter answer, and bolting on a back-office you did not ask for would be a downgrade.

Which one fits

Choose Trello if

you want a shared list and nothing else.

Choose Business Studio if

the list keeps growing sidecars — a client sheet, an invoice folder, a drafts document — and you want them in one place.

What we don't do yet

You can't connect your own X, LinkedIn or Facebook accounts yet

Publishing to X, LinkedIn and Facebook Pages currently goes through Viite's shared accounts, not accounts you connect yourself. Self-serve connections today: YouTube, Gmail, Notion and Stripe.

Claude is not autonomous here

It does what the six tools do — create, read, update, draft, attach, list. It does not run your business by itself, and publishing always waits for an explicit approval.

We are small

A younger product with fewer integrations than Notion or Zapier. The trade is a back-office Claude can actually operate.

Questions

Is Business Studio as simple as Trello?
Not quite, and we would be lying if we said yes. It is one board and one editor, but with more card types and a business layer underneath.
Can I import my Trello boards?
There is no Trello importer today. Cards are created through the board, the API or Claude.
Is there a free plan?
Yes, permanently, for one user. Current figures are on the pricing page.

Give Claude somewhere to put things

Create your workspace, add the connector in Claude.ai, and the next thing Claude drafts will still be there tomorrow.
