Basic Bitrix24 Advantages Overview:

There are several key advantages Bitrix24 offers over Trello.

  1. In Bitrix24, you get a user limit for each plan, which means you can keep adding more users within the plan limit and still pay the same amount of money per month/year. Trello is totally different – there, you have to pay a separate subscription fee for every user, which adds up to your costs once you start growing as a company.
  2. Bitrix24 offers a complete set of business tools and not just tools for project management. That includes a built-in CRM, messenger, video calls, online file storage, calendar, tasks, business process automation, and more. It will be very useful for companies trying to expand their business. No hidden fees, no additional charges – the subscription price that you pay is the final one.
  3. Bitrix24 allows you to use advanced social media integrations. In addition to connecting your company's accounts and messengers directly to CRM, you can also collect data about their performance and generate leads automatically. Using Sales Intelligence, you can get all the data about your marketing campaigns and advertising.
  4. Bitrix24 offers much more powerful automation tools. You get to use a wider range of automation rules for task management. Also, you have access to business processes for the whole company, email and social media automation, as well as sales automation.

Trello Positioning:
