Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Hexa at 100% against Trello's 53%. Hexa also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.3) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks). Trello's advantage is price (Free vs $0.99) and ratings volume (7K vs 3). On ads, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
