Both aim to keep project work approachable. Breeze includes more scheduling and communication tools, while Kanera builds a stronger operating layer across related boards.
| Feature | Breeze Simple all-in-one projects |  Kanera |
|---|---|---|
| Views & Planning | ||
| Board view | Included. Visual project boards use draggable task lists and cards, with swimlanes, work-in-progress limits, filtering, and per-list sorting. | Included. Kanban boards with drag-and-drop cards, collapsible lists, per-list sorting, list icons and colours, and card covers. |
| Table view | Partial or plan-gated. Projects can switch to a simple task list, and the Tasks page can show work as cards or a list. It is not an editable reporting table with calculated columns. | Included. An editable table on boards and across Global Work, with filtering, grouping, custom columns, Sum and Avg calculations, second-dimension breakdowns, saved setup, and Excel or JSON export. |
| Calendar view | Included. Cross-project calendars show tasks and to-dos in month, week, or day views, with drag-and-drop scheduling and a separate workload layout. | Included. A calendar for dated cards with month and week ranges, Today navigation, filtering, due-time slots, and card actions in place, on boards and across Global Work. |
| Overview, health, and cross-project visibility | Included. Home, the Tasks page, Master Board, dashboard widgets, project groups, roadmaps, and reports provide several views across projects. | Included. Home covers daily focus. Every board adds automatic overdue, unassigned, inactive, due-soon, and per-list signals with card drill-downs. Global Work adds My Cards, Team Cards, Portfolio, and Work Done across accessible boards. |
| Personal and team priority queues | Partial or plan-gated. The Tasks page gathers assigned work across projects and sorts by due date, project, or status; Master Board preserves task positions from source projects and can filter by teammate. Breeze does not document an independent ranked queue per person. | Included. Up next keeps one ranked order across boards. Open your drawer anywhere, add, reorder, complete, or remove assigned cards in My Cards, filter to queued work, and manage permitted teammate queues from a focused dock or Team Cards grid and table views. |
| Cards & Work | ||
| Work item detail | Included. Tasks include descriptions, assignees, statuses, tags, dates, estimates, time entries, files, comments, to-dos, dependencies, subscriptions, and activity. | Included. Cards hold markdown descriptions with change diffs, due dates and time slots, assignees, labels, custom fields, attachments, covers, comments, checklists, watchers, and attributed activity. |
| Custom fields | Included. Account administrators can create text, number, date, and drop-down custom fields and limit their visibility to selected projects. | Included. Text, number, checkbox, date, URL, select, and user fields, with multi-value select and user fields, owned by one board or shared across a workspace. |
| Checklists | Included. Task to-dos provide checklist-style work inside a task, while templates can repeat common task structures. | Included. Reusable checklist templates with item assignees, due dates, descriptions, and one level of sub-checklists. Assigned items surface in Home, My Cards, and focused Team Cards. |
| Bulk editing | Included. Shift-click bulk editing can update statuses, tags, assignees, dates, custom fields, copies, moves, and archive state across selected tasks. | Included. Selected cards can change dates, labels, assignees, custom fields, completion, location, copies, or archive state together. |
| Structure & Workflow | ||
| Independent projects | Included. Each project is a board with its own lists, people, settings, forms, automations, files, and access. | Included. Standalone boards keep their own lists, labels, fields, templates, automations, permissions, and settings. |
| Shared structure | Partial or plan-gated. Project groups, templates, account-level custom fields, and Master Board help organise work, but Breeze does not document a shared board schema like Kanera workspaces. | Included. Workspace boards can reuse lists, labels, fields, checklist templates, automations, and reporting. |
| Automation | Included. Project automation covers assignments, statuses, tags, dates, moves, recurring work, overdue status changes, and automatic archiving. | Included. Six card triggers drive ordered actions across labels, assignees, checklist templates, due dates, custom field writes, moves, and completion, at board or workspace level. |
| Reporting | Included. Reports cover time tracking, task updates, due work by user or project, task completion time, project totals, and public report links. | Included. Table calculations and breakdowns, Portfolio rollups and drill-downs, Work Done history, saved Global Work views, and Excel or JSON export cover operational reporting. |
| One-way board syncing | Partial or plan-gated. Mirror tasks show the same task in multiple projects or lists and reflect edits everywhere. This is shared placement, not a one-way destination-owned copy. | Included. Selected source lists can feed linked copies on another board, keeping shared card content and mapped workflow context current one way. |
| Collaboration & Access | ||
| Collaboration | Included. Task comments, mentions, files, project discussions, realtime updates, activity, and team or project chat keep collaboration beside the work. | Included. Comments with mentions, quote replies, and thumbs-up acknowledgement, plus attachments, realtime updates, presence, and an attributed activity history beside the work. |
| External access | Included. Unlimited client users are included at no extra cost. Clients get access only to invited projects and can comment, upload files, and optionally move tasks. | Partial or plan-gated. Pro keeps guests board-scoped: the first board is free, while a second or later board uses one purchased seat in total. Hosted Free has no guests, and self-hosted has no seat gate. |
| Notes and context | Included. Breeze has personal notes plus multiple rich notes inside each project, with checklists and files. It does not document Kanera-style nested workspace and board note trees with card backlinks. | Included. Scratchpad keeps autosaved work in progress private to one person. Personal and shared Notes add nested trees, attachments, search, and card backlinks for durable context. |
| Notifications | Included. In-app and email notifications cover mentions, reactions, assignments, subscriptions, and project activity, with daily recaps and weekly reports. | Included. An in-app drawer plus per-type delivery to email, browser push, ntfy, Gotify, or your own signed webhook, with per-workspace pause and scoping rules, card and board watching, mentions, assignments, and due dates. The drawer, email, push, and rules are on every plan; ntfy, Gotify, and personal webhooks need Pro or self-hosted. |
| Data & Migration | ||
| API and webhooks | Included. A REST-based JSON API, Zapier, Slack, developer integrations, and email-to-task workflows support custom connections. Public material does not present Kanera-style managed webhook delivery history and secret rotation. | Included. Scoped API keys, a REST API, event-selective webhooks, and built-in Slack, Discord, Telegram, and Zulip chat destinations, all with delivery history, retries, pausing, and secret rotation. Included in Pro and self-hosted; hosted Free has none of them. |
| AI integration | Included. Breeze AI answers questions over project data, while its MCP server lets compatible assistants search and update work under the user’s permissions. | Partial or plan-gated. A native MCP server with OAuth gives compatible AI clients scoped access to live Kanera context and documentation search; AI is not built into the app. |
| Deployment | Not available. Breeze is a web-based hosted service and explicitly says it has no on-site edition. | Included. Hosted plans, or a source-available Docker Compose deployment under Elastic License 2.0 with full feature parity and no Kanera per-seat self-hosting fee. |
| Import and export | Partial or plan-gated. CSV, copy-and-paste, Zapier, and API imports are available. Administrators can export account data as HTML or JSON; Kanera has no native Breeze importer. | Partial or plan-gated. Reviewable Trello and Kanera JSON import, Excel and JSON export, plus assisted planning and APIs for custom migrations. |
| Where each tool draws the line | ||
| Timeline, Gantt, and dependencies | Included. Project timelines, cross-project task dependencies, roadmaps, and a companion Ganttile app provide schedule planning. | Not available. Not included. Kanera plans with due dates, Calendar, and Table. There are no Gantt bars, baselines, or dependency links between cards. |
| Time tracking and workload | Included. Built-in estimates, timers, manual time entries, timesheets, budgets, reports, and a team workload calendar cover time and capacity. | Not available. No timer and no capacity planning. Numeric custom fields hold estimates or hours, and Table can sum or average them by group. |
| Request forms | Included. Built-in project forms publish a public or embedded request form and turn each submission into a task with optional assignment, tags, and status. | Not available. No form builder. Intake arrives through cards, one-way board syncing, or the REST API. |
| Sign-in and provisioning | Partial or plan-gated. Email and password plus Google sign-in are available, with owner, admin, user, and client roles. Public material does not document SAML SSO or SCIM provisioning. | Partial or plan-gated. Email and password sign-in with organisation, workspace, and board roles. No SAML, OIDC, or SCIM for user accounts yet; AI clients authenticate to MCP with OAuth. |
| Apps and offline use | Included. Breeze lists mobile apps for iOS and Android alongside its web app. | Partial or plan-gated. Installable PWA on desktop, iOS, and Android with offline board browsing, push notifications, and share-to-card. No native app-store builds. |
| Interface languages | Not available. The public features and help material do not document a localised multi-language interface. | Not available. English only today. |

Use scoped API keys, managed webhooks, and MCP, and export reports to Excel or JSON. Self-host the same product when deployment control matters.
There is no native Breeze importer today. We can review its HTML or JSON export, map projects, lists, tasks, fields, users, notes, and files, then scope a controlled pilot.
Both provide collaborative boards, cross-project work views, calendars, custom fields, bulk editing, automation, reporting, project notes, API access, and MCP connections for AI assistants.
Breeze includes native time tracking, estimates, team workload, timelines, task dependencies, request forms, team chat, built-in AI queries, and native iOS and Android apps.
Kanera has no timer, workload planner, dependency links, form builder, built-in chat, or in-app generative AI today.
Kanera lets boards stay independent or share lists, labels, fields, checklist templates, automations, and reporting through a workspace. It also adds Portfolio drill-downs, Work Done history, one-way board syncing, managed webhooks, per-workspace notification rules, and a self-hosted edition with full feature parity.
Breeze lists one all-inclusive plan at $9 per user per month, a 10% annual discount, a $14 monthly Solo plan, and unlimited free client users.
Kanera has a Free plan for up to 4 members, Pro at $5 per user per month or $49 per user per year, and self-hosting with no Kanera per-seat fee.
Yes. Both products document MCP connections that let compatible AI assistants work with project data under the connected user’s permissions. Breeze also includes an in-app AI question interface, while Kanera keeps AI in external compatible clients.
Not natively today. Breeze provides HTML and JSON account exports plus CSV and API import paths. Contact us to review how projects, lists, tasks, fields, users, notes, comments, and files should map before planning a pilot.
