so welcome back to another keep productive video today we're exploring trello versus asana
versus base camp and today we've actually partnered with leading software comparison
and review site captera to help you make more informed decisions on what software to choose
you can actually use captain's wide variety of insights and reviews to help make better decisions
and it's awesome to have them on as a sponsor you can check out um a bit of a versus comparison
and that they've made in description below if you want to with all the information that you need
today i'm bringing together my knowledge to review these applications so let's dive in now
trello asana and base camp are project management applications they're really designed for those who
are looking to coordinate their team's efforts and really drive a goal forward and have everyone on
the same page so let's start with availability now trello base camp and asana are available
on all devices as a project management experience they're probably all i guess these three are
probably the most well-known most credible out there on the market so it's great to have them
on all of the devices that you use so let's take a look at pricing now the pricing varies on all of
these applications but is a little bit similar in a sense because they're relatively priced so let's
start with trello trello does have a free plan now there are two sort of pricing plans to this
you've got a five dollar pricing and a ten dollar pricing per month um all of these have obviously
more in more varying features however the ten dollar pricing which i think is called premium
is actually the price and includes more of the more advanced views that trello have been
adding more often trello also locks some of the automation features with their acquisition butler
in some of these plans so i think premium plan gives you the best overall experience
and ten dollars per user per month is a fairly reasonable price in the project management space
now asana follow suits they have a free forever plan but they have a nine pound 49 per user per
month pricing for the more advanced feature sets including timeline and things like that
but again it depends how many team members you're bringing on but it really depends as well what
sort of features you want because asana do stuff a fair amount of good features in their free plan
but again if you're looking for that additional views they tend to lock it inside of the pro plans
so base camp is probably the outsider when it comes to pricing it's a strange pricing but a nice
one depending on your situation so they charge a flat rate of 99 per month for as many users as
you like so for example if you're somebody that has a team of 500 you're still going to pay say
you have a team of 9.99 you're still paying 99 per month um so it's good for larger teams less so for
smaller teams but again um it does uh sort of give you and and you buy into the plan but there is a
personal plan which allows up to 20 users and free projects overall um so there are some limitations
on the personal plan but again um you know it's it the personal plan is much more suitable for
freelancers that have a few clients or a very small team in that case so folks if you want an
in-depth reviews on all of these applications trello asana basecamp you can check out capterra
i recommend doing it because what people leave in there is feedback in context to their situation
which i think a lot of people will find value in so check out the link in description below and
you'll find those reviews super helpful especially when you're finding um you need to like see what
other people's experiences have been so let's take a look at the features now let's start with base
camp whilst we're on the topic base camp differs from trello and asana because it really focuses
on what's called asynchronous communication and that's very simply the focus on you're
not actually communicating in real time with your team members people might be dotted around the map
and you also might not want to disturb them in real time because they might be focusing on
their piece of work so asynchronous communication really does um it adapts to that allowing you to
communicate whenever you see fit with each other a little bit like a very very slow game of tennis
with the ball being left in each other's court each time you whack it
it is much more thoughtful as an application it does have everything from uh sort of to-do
lists to chat to a message board um and really personal project productivity management as well
not just for your team but also for yourself and it is really deemed as the hub of teamwork
it's much more a solution for remote teams however it's been sort of appraised as one of the most
well designed productivity experiences for teams now take a look at trello trello has been in the
market for absolutely ages and a few years ago they were acquired by a company well known in
the space called atlassian now trello thrives on an experience called boards kanban boards
essentially allow you to organize your projects by dragging them between different states and
that can be adapted in a variety of situations but it really does fall from the method in the 1980s
um the kanban methodology which was used at toyota they have more recently added new
formats including table timeline view and they're adding more including calendar view and additions
that will be available in the premium pricing now trello has this sort of under rated feature in my
opinion called butler automations but it does allow you to create automations that are built
inside a trello that connect with other applications that save you a bit of time
so you can for example have when a task is ticked off inside trello have it update a slack thread
or something like that that really just keeps your team in the loop and also do other things
um that help you to just keep your trello account clean automatically now asana is
the much more traditional solution in this sort of set of resources it's really well designed
they have a gorgeous board view and more recently a timeline view to help you and your plan who you
and your colleagues plan in gantt view which is very nice and the integrations in asana are sort
of oozing out they probably have the most advanced set of integrations out there and asana are really
well known for putting a lot of time and attention into their development process before they release
a feature so who are these recommended for now i would probably say trello is best for those people
that are more kanban focused and those who are willing to pay a bit more for automations because
i think there's a killer feature that a lot of people want to really take more advantage of
automations really do sort of power up your trello account and you can access
more pre-created templates and also pre-created automations they can easily plug in and play with
so i would say base camp is probably best for a asynchronous team that is remote
and more for those who want a company-wide hub management versus a really in-depth project
manager um it's really for those who are not um micromanaging their team because obviously
it doesn't give you a hideous amount of insight when it comes to um you know reporting and things
like that like trello and asana do but at the same time it's a great experience um for being
able to bring your team together but i in my opinion have to be really sold on the concept
and all of your team members have to be sold before investing in it so asana again much more
traditional and i normally recommend it for those in marketing sales and product teams it's one of
those applications you can pretty much give to anybody in the department and with a basic level
of project management skills they would understand it and be able to get right on with it it's great
for collaborating collaborating together as well and the integrations help you to connect
it to existing applications that you might already have so folks that was trello versus asana versus
basecamp hopefully we help you make a better decision around it a huge thank you to capterra
