Trello is a simple and popular Kanban board tool. WeekBlast is a weekly work tracking tool. They solve different problems, even though both are lightweight.
What Trello Does Well
Trello is easy to use and quick to set up.
Trello works best when:
- Tasks are simple
- Teams want visual boards
- Work flows through clear stages
- Overhead must stay low
Trello answers the question: What tasks are moving across the board?
What Trello Does Not Capture
Trello boards only show tasks that exist.
They do not capture:
- Work that was never added to a card
- Meetings, discussions, and collaboration
- Helping teammates or responding to issues
- Thinking and planning time
As a result, weekly effort is often underrepresented.
Why Teams Use WeekBlast Instead of Trello
WeekBlast captures the full picture:
- All completed work
- Planned and unplanned effort
- Contributions outside tasks
It does not require boards, statuses, or constant updates.
When WeekBlast Is a Better Fit
WeekBlast is a better fit when:
- Teams want weekly summaries
- Work changes daily
- Boards feel incomplete
- Visibility matters more than flow stages
When Trello Is a Better Fit
Trello is a better fit when:
- Tasks are simple and visible
- Teams prefer visual flow
- Minimal structure is enough
Summary
Trello tracks cards.
WeekBlast tracks work.
If boards do not tell the full story of your week, WeekBlast provides the missing context.
