Pivotal Tracker vs Momentum

While not perfect kanban, Pivotal is somewhat flexible in that you can mark sections of stories. So rather than (or in addition to) a normal sprint, you can put a marker in to define all cards above that point as part of something, for example a release. Further, you can override the auto tracker and define how many points in a sprint. So there is some degree of flexibility which sometimes you don’t find in “purist” agile or scrum tools.

Pivotal Tracker has a Kanban feel to it, but takes a more opinionated “Agile” approach to feature management: It encourages items in the flow to be user stories with effort points associated to them to allow Pivotal to calculate your team’s velocity.

If you agree with the workflow, Pivotal offers a ton of functionality not provided by more generic tools like Trello. You can see your team’s velocity over time, organic smaller Stories into “Epics” (huge features) etc.

Easy to create features/bugs/chores with embedded files (screenshots, docs, videos).

Momentum has a different, beautiful background image each day. It displays the time, a welcoming message and a reminder in the middle of the page and hides all other functionality out of focus.

Current temperature and weather conditions are shown in the top-right corner.

Momentum has a simple to-do list that can be accessed from the bottom-right corner of the page.

Momentum asks the user what's the focus of the day and then shows that information is each time a new tab is opened.

Momentum shows you a new inspirational quote, once a day.

It shows your bookmarks and most frecent sites in a really nice way
