Comparison
Orbit vs Trello.
Trello’s Kanban boards are popular for job tracking, but they require manual setup and lack job-specific features. Orbit gives you a purpose-built pipeline with AI, smart reminders, and wellness coaching out of the box.
What Orbit adds

Smart follow-up reminders that fire automatically
Contact CRM with AI capture from LinkedIn

What Trello does well

The verdict
Trello is a great Kanban tool, but it knows nothing about job searching. Every label, every automation, every reminder has to be built by hand. Orbit gives you all of that plus AI resume tailoring, contact management, wellness coaching, and financial planning — ready to go from day one.
