MeisterTask's Slack integration is bi-directional: the inbound integration sends messages to a Slack channel whenever a task is created or dropped in a section (lane) in MeisterTask, whereas the outbound integration lets you insert tasks into a MeisterTask project directly from a Slack channel.

Powerful team collaboration features

Asana has fantastic mechanisms for dealing with team collaboration. Not only can tasks be assigned to team members, but Asana lets follow tasks and even use hyperlinks to refer to team members within a task.
Jonathan

Very polished interface

Simple workflow

•••
The Asana task workflow within a project is broken down into "Today", "Upcoming" and "Later". The tasks themselves have the status of either done or not done. There is also a sub-task feature to group tasks together. Tasks can be assigned to each other and are stored...

CSV export and print

Well thought out keyboard shortcuts

Jonathan

Mobile version lacks calendar

•••

Jonathan
Top Con

UX Design is overly opinionated

•••
Asana forces a user to conform to their worldview of what the optimal workflow is. Workflow's are constantly changing. As such, an opinionated design is not ideal for project management.

Jonathan

Excellent for groups using Agile software development

•••
The responsiveness and layers of customization make it easy for team members of various disciplines to collaborate on the same task board.
Jonathan
Top Pro

Highly flexible workflow

•••
Trello calls items used in the workflow “cards.” Cards are double-sided and can contain subtasks as well as notes and other details. Card columns can be used to simulate a workflow by moving cards from left to right as they are completed, or as a way of indicating task priority. The workflow is h...

Free for unlimited users

•••
Trello offers a very generous free version that has no ads, no restrictions on the number of users, and very little restriction on how the program can be used. The paid features are generally cosmetic, such as the ability to change the background, add stickers, etc.

Simple and easy to use interface

•••
There are two primary columns: the board is shown on the left and all the other controls on the right. The main means of interaction is dragging and dropping to-do cards into the various lists. The board structure is very customizable, and includes a variety of features that help along the way: co...

Notifications only

•••

•••

Jonathan
Top Con

No multi-board aggregation

•••
If you have multiple boards with tasks on them there is no way to get all the tasks on one board in a way that changes on one board will update the other.
Jonathan
Top Con

Light on features

•••
Trello is focused on simplicity and as such forgoes certain common features that may or may not be important to you.
Jonathan
Top Con

Not really a to do list

•••
Trello is much more a workflow and project management program than a typical to-do app, which makes it overwhelmingly robust for those looking to jot down their shopping list.
Jonathan
Top Con

Boards can't be deleted

•••
There's no way of deleting a board, it's only possible to close it.
Jonathan
Top Con

Managing large projects may be difficult

•••
Trello works best with medium to small projects and with very high-level overviews. It is less effective for projects that require very granular management due to the fact that it becomes considerably more difficult to keep track of various cards and priorities as they are pushed off the screen.
