Shaded rows are where the two answers disagree and both listings have answered. A row where one side has not stated a fact is left plain, because silence is not a difference.
Trello
Boards and cards for people who hate project plans
Trello is a wall of cards dragged between columns, which is enough structure to run an editorial calendar and not enough to put anybody off using it. The free plan covers ten collaborators, so a creator with two contractors never pays. Anything needing dependencies, a timeline or real reporting hits the ceiling inside a quarter.
Our note
Stay free until a view you do not have is costing real time. Most creator workflows never leave that plan, and the ones that do usually want Notion rather than the next Trello tier.
Zoom
The call everyone can already join
Zoom is the video call most guests will not have to install anything to attend, which is the whole argument for using it over something better. For a creator it is the interview, the client call and the coaching session, and the local recording it writes for each participant is what makes it usable as a source for an edit. The free plan caps a group meeting at forty minutes. Paid plans are per host, and the add-ons for large webinars and cloud storage are priced separately from the seat.
