Trello's Arabic translation is broken, the calendar is Gregorian-only, and notifications are in English. Fareeqy is a native Arabic alternative with more tools and simpler pricing.

Trello is a solid tool — for English-speaking teams in a Western workflow. It wasn't built for a team that works in Arabic, deals with Hijri dates and Ramadan timelines, and needs notifications every member understands instantly.
Your team tried Trello? Half of them went back to WhatsApp after two weeks — the layout flipped awkwardly, the labels read like a translation no one uses. That's not a lazy team. That's a team given a tool that wasn't built for them.
Fareeqy fixes that at the root. It's not a Trello translation — it's a standalone Arabic platform with deeper tools: in-app team chat, scheduled email reports, dual Hijri/Gregorian calendar, and Majlis to document project decisions.

Trello is a generic English-first Kanban board. Fareeqy isn't a Kanban board at all — it's a complete Arabic platform built on a different philosophy: every task has one owner, one deadline, and one priority, without the overhead of methodology ceremonies. Plus team chat, reports, Majlis, Hijri calendar, and team management. Fareeqy isn't just a Trello alternative — it's a broader platform with more clarity.
