European Alternatives to Trello
Atlassian’s Kanban board tool for lightweight task and project tracking. Below are 3 alternatives from companies headquartered in Spain, the Netherlands and Germany. 2 of them keep data in the EU only, and 2 have a free plan.
Headquartered in Europe
Every company listed here has its headquarters in the EU, EEA, UK or Switzerland, not just a data centre there.
Data location you can check
The pricing table shows whether each one keeps data in the EU only, offers an EU region, or does not say.
Outside the US CLOUD Act
US providers can be ordered to hand over data held in their European data centres. A European company with no US parent or US operations is outside that reach.

What to Check Before Switching from Trello
Where your data will be stored
2 of the 3 alternatives here say they keep data in the EU only. Wodo offers an EU region alongside others, so choose it explicitly when you set up the account.
How you can try it
Taiga and Zenkit have a free plan, so you can run a real test before cancelling Trello.
Open source
Taiga releases its software or models under an open licence, which makes it easier to self-host, inspect what runs, and move again later.
Security certifications
We have not confirmed a security certification for any of these alternatives yet. If your procurement requires ISO 27001 or SOC 2, ask each vendor for its documentation.
What you need to bring from Trello
List the data, templates and integrations you rely on in Trello, then confirm each one can be exported and that the alternative can import it or offers an API to rebuild it.
