MeisterTask

MeisterTask is a visually intuitive task and project management tool built around Kanban boards, designed to be beautiful and easy while still powerful enough for real team workflows. Teams organize work into project boards with customizable sections (columns), move tasks through stages by drag-and-drop, and collaborate with comments, attachments, checklists, and mentions. Its clean design and low learning curve make it popular with teams that want Kanban-based work management without the complexity of heavier PM platforms.

The platform balances simplicity with useful automation and structure. Section Actions automate repetitive steps (like assigning or moving tasks based on triggers); time tracking, due dates, recurring tasks, and tags keep work organized; and dashboards give each person a personal view of what to focus on. MeisterTask is part of the Meister suite and integrates with MindMeister (mind mapping) and MeisterNote (documentation), so ideas can flow from brainstorm to task to documentation, plus integrations with Slack, GitHub, and other tools and an API for connecting workflows.

MeisterTask serves teams and small-to-midsize businesses wanting easy, visual Kanban task management. Pricing is per user: a Free plan (basic task management for individuals/small teams), a Pro plan around $9 per user/month (about $4.99 billed annually) adding automations and integrations, a Business plan around $16 per user/month (about $12.99 annually) with roles, permissions, and reporting, and custom Enterprise. It competes with Trello, Asana, ClickUp, and Monday.com, differentiating on intuitive Kanban design and its integrated Meister ideation-to-execution suite.
