Todoist vs Trello
Todoist is a to-do list: type a task in plain language and it files the date for you. Trello is a board: cards move across lists. Both have free plans and paid ones from $5 a month.

Task manager that stays out of your way
Choose Todoist if the work is a list of things to do, mostly your own.
