While there aren’t any differences between the two apps’ availability, it’s useful to know that they’re both available native to almost every platform. Platformsįirst let’s take a look at the platforms they are available on. Airtable lets you do much more but it’ll take time to learn each of its components effectively, and can be a little overwhelming for those unfamiliar with it. Trello is a fantastic tool that’s simple to use and great for its specific purpose. It all depends on the context you approach it from and what role you need it to perform. That doesn’t mean we’re done with the comparison, as Airtable’s wider applications aren’t inherently good or bad. Airtable is capable of storing huge amounts of data as a database, then creating dynamic views to let you sort everything from basic data to complex tasks with custom filters and parameters. Trello is designed to help you manage tasks in a simple but effective Kanban view. The primary difference between Trello and Airtable is their focus. Most of all, you can learn from this to see which app would suit you instead of spending years testing them out yourself. After having used both apps personally and professionally for more than three years, I’ve been able to get to grips with who these apps are designed for and what makes them useful. Trello is a powerhouse of task management but Airtable is a masterful mix of database, spreadsheet, task and project management app. We love improving our productivity using everything from business process automation to focus music, and this case was no different. We were having a tough time adjusting (old habits die hard), and my Process Street colleague Ben Brandall was trying to get to the bottom of why. Our team ( and customers) had been using Trello for years and had only recently undergone a transition to Airtable.
