Replace Trello for events.
From task boards to ticket sales.
For organizers managing events with task boards and project tools
Today, in four tabs
Not everyone runs all four. Whichever of them you do run, the event details get copied between them by hand, because none of them was built for events.
After
- A public page for every event, and a calendar of all of them Free
- Free RSVP with a capacity limit per date Free
- Tickets with QR check-in and a check-in dashboard Pro
- Newsletters to the people who follow your schedule Free
The gaps
Where Trello limits you for events
Trello was not built for event management. These are the places the event part has to be done somewhere else.
- No public event pages or attendee-facing features
- No registration, ticketing, or payment processing
- Task boards do not map to event lifecycle (create, promote, manage)
- Purely internal project management with no audience interaction
None of that is a fault in Trello. It is a general-purpose tool being asked to run an event, which is why the rest of the job ends up in other tabs.
Done natively
What Event Schedule gives you over Trello
The same work, in the tool that already knows what an event is.
Public Event Pages
Every event gets a shareable page with all details and ticket purchasing. Your audience sees event pages, not task cards.
Ticketing & Payments
Sell tickets with Stripe payments, multiple ticket types, and zero platform fees. Trello has no way to handle registrations or payments.
Team Collaboration
Invite team members with role-based access to manage events together. Purpose-built for event teams, not generic task management.
Google Calendar Sync
Two-way Google Calendar sync keeps events updated everywhere. No manual copying between boards and calendars.
AI Event Import
Paste event details in any format and AI extracts structured event data automatically. Faster than creating Trello cards.
Event Submissions
Accept event submissions from performers, speakers, or vendors. Review and approve submissions before they go live on your schedule.
The swap sheet
Trello vs Event Schedule
Line by line, on the event work. A dash in the Trello column means that job is not built in, so today it is living in another tab. A tick in the Event Schedule column does not mean free: the three cards below say which plan carries what.
From $0/mo (Pro $9/mo)
| Feature | Trello | Event Schedule |
|---|---|---|
| Public event pages | Not built in | Yes |
| Ticketing & payments | Not built in | Zero platform fees |
| Google Calendar sync | Power-up | Two-way sync |
| AI event import | Not built in | Yes |
| Event submissions | Not built in | Review & approve |
| Newsletters | Not built in | With A/B testing |
| Team collaboration | Yes | Event-focused |
| Per-user pricing | Per seat | No per-user fees |
Free
$0Unlimited events and schedules. Public event pages and a shareable calendar. Two-way Google, Outlook and CalDAV sync. Free RSVP with a capacity limit. Embeddable calendar, built-in analytics, AI event parsing, and 10 newsletter emails a month.
Pro
$9 a monthTicketing with QR check-in and the check-in dashboard. Custom fields on the form, waitlist, promo codes, sales export. Event graphics, the embeddable ticket widget, the REST API and webhooks. 100 newsletter emails a month.
Enterprise
$29 a monthYour own domain. Up to five team members. Internal and unlisted events. AI flyer and style generation, AI agenda scanning, WhatsApp event creation, and 1,000 newsletter emails a month.
Two footnotes worth reading before you switch. Your follower list is never capped, but the monthly newsletter allowance counts recipients rather than sends, so one letter to 40 followers spends 40 of it. And Free is a single team member; extra members are Enterprise. What does not change with the plan is the fee on ticket sales, which is zero on all three. Past Stripe's own processing, the money is yours.

About Trello
Trello is a kanban-style project management tool that some event organizers use to track event planning tasks. While Trello is great for organizing workflows with boards and cards, it has no attendee-facing features, no registration or ticketing, and task boards do not map well to the event lifecycle of creating, promoting, and managing events.
What it is good at
- Visual kanban boards for task management
- Simple drag-and-drop interface for organizing workflows
- Power-ups and integrations for extended functionality
Why switch to Event Schedule?
Trello tracks internal tasks. Event Schedule handles the full event lifecycle your audience actually sees: event pages, ticket sales, and promotion.
What moves across
- Public event pages your audience can visit and buy tickets from
- Built-in ticketing with Stripe payments and zero platform fees
- Team collaboration purpose-built for event management workflows
- AI event import and auto-generated graphics for fast promotion
Trello to Event Schedule FAQ
What people ask before they move the event work across.
Is Event Schedule a good Trello alternative for event management?
Yes, for the event management side. Event Schedule handles what Trello cannot: public event pages, ticket sales, attendee management, and event promotion. You may still use Trello for internal task tracking, but Event Schedule replaces it for the full event lifecycle.
Is Event Schedule free like Trello?
Yes. The free plan includes unlimited events, public event pages, Google Calendar sync, newsletters, and fan engagement features. The Pro plan at $9/month adds ticketing with zero platform fees, event graphics, and more.
Does Event Schedule have task management like Trello?
Event Schedule is not a task management tool. It replaces Trello specifically for event management workflows: creating events, publishing them, selling tickets, and managing attendees. For internal planning tasks, you can continue using any project management tool you prefer.
Does Event Schedule have webhooks for automation?
Yes. The Pro plan includes webhooks and a REST API for connecting Event Schedule with your other tools. Automate workflows like syncing attendee data to your CRM or triggering notifications when tickets are sold.
Can I use Event Schedule alongside Trello?
Yes. Use Trello for internal planning tasks and Event Schedule for the audience-facing event lifecycle: creating events, selling tickets, managing attendees, and sending newsletters. The two tools complement each other well.
