Frequently asked questions
How do Stackfield and Trello differ in data hosting and DSGVO compliance?
Stackfield hosts all data on German servers, ensuring EU-only data processing and full DSGVO compliance. It holds ISO 27001, 27017 and 27018 certifications and provides end-to-end encryption, IP whitelisting and enforced 2FA. Trello, owned by Atlassian, is DSGVO-compliant but uses US-based infrastructure, which may not meet strict EU data-residency requirements.
Which tool is more cost-effective for small teams?
Trello offers a free plan with basic features and paid tiers starting at $5/user/month, making it more affordable for small teams. Stackfield starts at €9/user/month with no free tier, but includes integrated chat, video calls and advanced security features that Trello lacks.
Can I migrate existing Trello boards to Stackfield?
Stackfield does not offer a direct Trello import tool. Migration requires manual recreation of boards or exporting Trello data via CSV/JSON and reformatting it for Stackfield. Trello’s export feature is available on paid plans.
What are the key feature differences between Stackfield and Trello?
Stackfield combines task management, secure team chat, video calls, document collaboration and whiteboards in one platform, with built-in end-to-end encryption. Trello focuses on Kanban-style project management, automation (Butler) and integrations, but lacks native communication tools and advanced security features like encryption or IP whitelisting.
Who should choose Stackfield, and who should stick with Trello?
Stackfield is ideal for European businesses in regulated industries (public sector, finance, law) or those requiring strict DSGVO compliance and EU data residency. Trello suits small to medium teams needing a simple, flexible project management tool with a freemium model, where US data hosting is acceptable.
