4 reasons to choose Ganty
If you actually need a Gantt chart
Trello is Kanban-first; Timeline view is a Premium add-on without dependency cascading or critical path. Ganty is purpose-built for Gantt from day one.
Proper dependency management
Trello's dependency Power-Ups don't reliably cascade changes. Ganty's design centers on dependencies and immediately propagates changes downstream.
AI included from Standard
Atlassian Intelligence requires Premium. Ganty includes 100 AI generations/month from Standard.
Project count doesn't blow up your bill
Trello Free caps at 10 boards. Ganty Standard offers unlimited projects with workspace-based pricing that doesn't grow with team size.
When Trello may be a better fit
For an honest comparison, here are cases where the competitor may suit you better.
If pure Kanban works for you, no need to switch
Trello's strength is simplicity. If you only need to track what's in flight (not when), Trello or Jira is more intuitive. Ganty has a member task list but isn't a pure Kanban tool.
Migration
Use Trello's Print and Export to JSON/CSV, then import to Ganty. Lists map to Ganty groups/folders, cards to tasks, and dates/assignees carry over. Checklists become subtasks.
From a team that switched
“We ran on Trello for 5+ years, but as projects grew we couldn't track deadlines anymore. With Ganty, what's slipping and when is obvious at a glance.”
