Trello vs Notion

Trello and Notion both show up on shortlists for small teams looking for a lightweight way to organize work, and both offer generous free plans. The real difference is scope: Trello is a dedicated visual board for tracking tasks, while Notion is a broader workspace that combines docs, wikis, and databases with lighter project tracking built in.
