Jonathan T.: Hi, I'm Jonathan. I'm the founder and owner of WalletWin, an e-learning company, and I give Todoist 5 stars out of 5. Before I started using Todoist, I was all over the place with my to-do lists. I was using paper and pen and losing them. I was using Evernote and then forgetting to check it. I was all over the place. And finally I found Todoist. I chose Todoist and have stuck with it because it's all over the place. I've got the app on my computer, on my phone, on my watch, so I always have my to-do list available. It's easy to use, easy to check things off, especially when I'm out and about and I can just call it up on the watch and check off my item. It was incredibly easy to get started with Todoist, downloaded the app, I think created my account, and then just got started creating my lists and my items. It was very easy to figure out. I think it's a pretty intuitive interface that makes organizing my tasks nice and easy. If you're checking out Todoist, I'd say just go for it, download it. They've got a very nice, generous, free tier, so give it a shot maybe for a week or two. See how you like it, how it fits into your workflow, and it might just be a winner.

Xavier: Hi, my name is Xavier. I'm the founder of Mixtons, and I would rate Trello a 5 out of 5. So prior to Trello, we were using monday.com, and I found that it was actually too convoluted and too confusing to try and integrate with the team. So Trello, being a simple Kanban, was far easier for our team to understand, and therefore we decided to implement it across the board. We chose Trello, A, because it was free to begin with, which obviously made it much more appealing for us as a team, as a small business. But secondly, just how simple it was. It's probably the simplest of all the platforms. And you do have very simple integrations that you can have. So for us, it just made sense given our size and scale. The biggest perk of Trello is just how simple the whole thing is. A couple of YouTube tutorials can make you easily understand how to set it all up. And given how customizable all the Kanban boards are, you can have different ones for operations, sales, marketing, et cetera. So it was very simple to implement. So the biggest piece of advice I'd have for someone integrating Trello is to make sure that you have each of your pillars of the business set up in different boards, making sure that everything is trackable, but also that if you do have a premium account, which I would recommend, that you utilize the Power-Ups because they can be a little bit hidden, but once you discover them, they're actually very useful.
