Which Tool Fits Creative Teams?
Trello is one of the simplest project tools available. It is built on boards and cards and is widely used for lightweight organization across many industries.
Celaro takes simplicity further but is specifically designed for creative teams. It supports iterative work, clean visual clarity, and deep focus.
Both tools are easy to use.
Both are visually driven.
But they are built with different intentions.
