Personal board or team board?

A personal board is yours alone, free up to 50 open tasks. A team board is shared: people join with roles, free up to 5 people and 50 open tasks.

Every fenbs account has one personal kanban board, made the first time you open the app, and can make any number of team kanban boards. The difference is not size or features; it is whether other people are on it.

A personal board

  • Yours alone. There is nobody to add and no roles to give — the People and Roles pages do not exist for it.
  • Free, up to 50 open tasks at a time. Completed and archived tasks do not count. Personal at $9.99 a month, or $99.90 a year, removes the limit.
  • AI assistants can be connected to it, free, and hold your role — which on your own board is everything.
  • Not shared with anyone. To show your work to other people, make a team board and add them with a role, such as Client to see and comment.

A team board

  • Shared. People join by email with a role in plain words; a client can be given a role that only reports bugs.
  • Free for up to 5 people and 50 open tasks. More needs Team Access at $99.99 a month, or $999.90 a year, for the whole team, however many people join. AI assistants are free.
  • Has Roles: you can make new ones from the permissions, and change what an existing one allows.
  • Its history shows who did what, people and assistants alike.

Which to make

Start with your personal board; it is already there. Make a team board the moment a second person needs to see or change the list. A freelancer typically has one personal board and one team board per client; an agency has one team board per client and nothing on their personal board but their own admin.

Questions people ask.

Can I turn my personal board into a team board?

Not directly. Make a team board, paste the tasks across with Add many, and keep the personal one for yourself.

Can I be on several team boards?

Yes. Switch between them and your personal board from the profile menu; each has its own role for you.

Start with one thing.

Your own board is free. AI assistants cost nothing extra on any plan.
