KanbanFlow vs MeisterTask

KanbanFlow is a lean project management tool for personal or team productivity, with customizable boards, task tracking, and time tracking. Boards can use work-in-progress limits, subtasks, swimlanes, filters, recurring tasks, and task relations. Users can record time with a Pomodoro timer, stopwatch, or manual logging. Reports include cumulative flow, burndown, throughput, cycle and lead time charts, and Monte Carlo forecasting. The service supports Excel and CSV imports, exports to Excel, CSV, XML, and JSON, email task creation, a REST API, webhooks, and Zapier. Premium users can attach files from Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, and Box; KanbanFlow stores links and metadata rather than the attached file contents. It offers mobile web access and links to iPhone and Android apps. The free plan has no time limit and includes a Kanban board and standard support. Premium costs $5 a month, with a 10% discount for annual payment.

MeisterTask is a work management platform for projects, tasks, and documentation, available on Android, iOS, macOS, web, and Windows. Each project has a customizable Kanban-style board showing task status, while a projects overview tracks deadlines, risks, and progress across projects. Automations can perform repeat actions, such as assigning an owner when a task enters a board section. Reports can analyze project performance and filter results by owner, status, and due date. Integrations include Slack, Google Calendar, iCal, Gmail, Outlook, Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, and Zapier. Basic users are limited to two integrations; Pro and Business users have unlimited integrations, and ChatGPT and Claude apps do not count toward Basic’s limit. The Free plan costs nothing and includes up to 3 projects. Pro costs $12.50 a month, and Business costs $24 a month. Meister says its servers are in an ISO 27001-certified data center in Germany and describes security controls, workspace access management, and regular backups.
