Pros and cons
Both tools are good at different things. Here is where each one shines, and where it falls short.
AllScrum
Pros
- A working board the moment you name a project
- Sprints, backlog, story points and burndown without configuration
- Keyboard shortcuts: N to add, Ctrl K to search, hold Ctrl for quick actions
- Works on phones and offline, with changes syncing when you reconnect
- Passkeys and two-factor sign-in for every account
Cons
- No timeline, Gantt chart or long-range planning
- No time tracking or timesheets
- No custom fields or custom workflows
- No app store apps: you install it from the browser
- No importer or integrations marketplace yet
Zoho Projects
Pros
- Gantt charts with dependencies for planned projects
- Time tracking, timesheets and budgets in one place
- Issue tracking alongside tasks
- Connects with the rest of the Zoho suite
Cons
- Sprints and agile reports live in a separate product (Zoho Sprints)
- Free plan is limited to 5 users and 3 projects
- Time tracking and custom fields need a paid plan
Which one should you pick?
Choose Zoho Projects if
You plan fixed-scope projects with Gantt charts, bill or budget by time, or already run your business on Zoho.
Choose AllScrum if
Your team works in sprints and wants the board, backlog and sprint planning together in one simple tool.
Not sure? The board on the home page is a live demo. Drag a few cards, try the shortcuts and see if it feels right, no account needed.
Switching from Zoho Projects
There is no automatic importer yet, but moving a team over takes minutes:
- Create a project and rename the lanes to match your current columns or lists.
- Paste your task titles into a lane’s “Add task” field. Every line becomes a task, up to 100 at a time.
- Invite your team by email, or share the whole workspace with a team at once.
- Plan the first sprint from the backlog, or simply start moving cards.
