Simple by design, so it stops where you would expect
Once a board passes about 200 cards, finding anything is a chore and the board becomes a wall. That is the moment to move to something else rather than fight it.
Pros
Nothing to configure and nothing to maintain.
Cons
Automation runs are capped on lower tiers.

Free tier runs our whole hiring pipeline
We track our hiring pipeline on the free tier. Candidates move across the board, everyone sees where things stand, and it costs nothing. A dedicated recruiting tool would cost hundreds a month to do the same job worse.
Pros
Nothing to configure and nothing to maintain.
Cons
There is no meaningful cross project reporting.

Butler automation handles our repeated card work. It is more capable than it looks and took twenty minutes to set up.
Pros
Anyone understands it in under a minute. Adoption is effectively free.
Cons
There is no meaningful cross project reporting.

It is deliberately simple and that is why it works. Every time I have been tempted by something more powerful I remember that people actually use this one.
Pros
Power-Ups extend it without complicating the core.
Cons
It will not scale with a growing team, and you will have to move.

No training, no setup, just working
I introduced it on a Tuesday and the warehouse team was using it correctly by Thursday. No training session, no manual. For a team that had rejected every previous tool, that is the entire review.
Pros
Perfect for a defined flow: hiring, a content calendar, a punch list.
Cons
Automation runs are capped on lower tiers.

Hit the 10 collaborator limit and had to pay
The free workspace caps at 10 collaborators and we grew past it mid project. Suddenly a tool we had built a process around needed a real budget line. The limit is documented, it just arrives at the worst moment. Plan for it rather than discovering it.
Pros
Power-Ups extend it without complicating the core.
Cons
Dependencies are not native.

Perfect small, useless large
It does not do reporting across projects and it does not do dependencies. Those are not oversights, they are the product's position. If you need them, this is the wrong tool and no Power-Up will really fix it.
Pros
Nothing to configure and nothing to maintain.
Cons
Dependencies are not native.
