Trello vs VA Growth Suite
Trello is the gold-standard kanban — but it's purely a board, so VAs end up adding 3 more tools around it.
| Feature | Trello | VA Growth Suite |
|---|---|---|
| Time tracking with running timer | ||
| Multi-client dashboard | ||
| PDF invoice generation | ||
| Branded client portal | ||
| Kanban task board per client | ||
| Starts at $0 (free plan) | ||
| No per-user pricing | ||
| Built for VAs specifically | ||
| Starting price | Free / $5/user/mo paid | $0 free, $19/mo paid |
Trello — strengths
- Free tier covers most VA use cases
- Best-in-class kanban UX
- Power-Ups extend functionality
Trello — limits for VAs
- No time tracking, invoicing, or client portal
- Power-Ups multiply the monthly cost quickly
- Multi-client setups become messy without templates
Our honest take
Trello is fine as a free task board if you already have invoicing and time tracking covered. VA Growth Suite folds the kanban directly into client records, so you're not toggling apps to invoice the work.
When Trello is the right choice
If you're already on Trello and it's working, don't switch just to save a few dollars. But if you're just starting out as a VA — or you're paying for Trello plus a second tool for invoicing or a client portal — we built VA Growth Suite to replace that stack.
When VA Growth Suite wins
- You're a solo VA or small agency (not a 20-person design studio)
- You need time tracking and invoicing and a client portal
- Flat pricing matters more than deep workflow automation
- You want to get set up in 5 minutes, not 5 days
