Comparison
Recruit Flow vs Trello
A plain comparison of two tools that solve overlapping problems. Trello is kanban tool — built for anyone who likes boards. Recruit Flow is built for small teams who want a clean pipeline without enterprise overhead.
| Feature | Trello | Recruit Flow |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing | $5/user/mo — but no hiring features | $149/mo flat — everything included |
| Setup time | Hours to days | Under 5 minutes — import a CSV |
| Table + Kanban views | Usually one or the other | Both, same data |
| Candidate timeline | Often locked to higher tiers | Included |
| CSV import & export | Limited | First-class — paste, upload, map |
| Learning curve | Onboarding required | Looks like the spreadsheet you already use |
