Trello is a great kanban tool, but it wasn\u2019t designed for visual feedback. Loop gives you the board plus a feedback widget, Gmail and Slack input, and AI triage.
Many agencies and dev teams start by using Trello to track bugs and client feedback. It’s flexible and familiar. But as projects scale, manually creating cards from emails, screenshots, and Slack messages becomes a bottleneck.
Loop is a feedback-first kanban board designed specifically for this workflow. Clients annotate your live site. Your team submits from Slack. Gmail threads become cards. AI classifies each item as a feature, bug, or task. The board is already there — you don’t have to build it.
If your team is using Trello for feedback and finding it limiting, here’s how Loop compares.

Trello relies on manual card creation. Loop’s widget, Gmail, and Slack integrations automatically create cards with full visual context. No copy-pasting.
Every Loop card includes the page URL, screenshot, and optional screen recording. Trello cards start blank — you have to attach context manually.
Loop’s AI automatically classifies each item as a feature, bug, or task and extracts multiple items from a single email or conversation.
Loop has dedicated client spaces and free client accounts. Trello treats everyone as a board member with the same access model.
Loop’s Business plan includes Trello import. Bring your existing boards, cards, and attachments into Loop without starting from scratch.
Loop’s REST API and MCP server let your dev tools and AI agents interact with feedback directly. Trello’s API is general-purpose and not feedback-aware.
Trello\u2019s free plan is generous for general project management, but it has no feedback-specific features. Trello Standard is $5/user/month. Loop\u2019s free Starter plan includes the feedback widget and annotations. Loop Pro at \u00a310/seat/month adds Gmail, Slack, AI triage, and screen recording. Loop Business at \u00a324/seat/month is unlimited. Both start with a 7-day Business trial.
Yes. Loop’s Business plan includes Trello import. You can bring across boards, cards, and attachments. The REST API also allows scripted migrations from any source.
For feedback and bug tracking workflows, yes. Loop provides a kanban board plus feedback capture, AI triage, and client management. If you use Trello for other project management, you can keep it alongside Loop.
Loop has a free Starter plan with 2 projects, 100 feedback items per month, and full widget support. The Pro and Business plans add integrations, AI, and unlimited capacity.
No. Your clients interact through the feedback widget on your site or by replying to emails. They can also get a free Loop account to follow progress on the board.
