Trello is a web-based project management application which uses the analogy of lists and cards as a user interface. A rich API as well as email-in capability enables integration with enterprise systems, or with cloud-based integration services. Trello offers a web interface, and mobile clients, and synchronizes all of them in near real time. Trello is offered as SaaS only.
GitLab also offers a list and card based user interface for project management, but also offers capabilities in code creation, testing, packaging, releasing, monitoring, and securing the work. While Trello does a great job of providing the single functionality of work item management and only as a SaaS solution, GitLab offers one application for the entire DevOps lifecycle, either as SaaS or in a self-managed form.

Multiple Project Issue Boards
Large companies often have hundreds of different projects, all with different moving parts at the same time. GitLab allows for multiple Issue Boards for a single project so you can plan, organize, and visualize a workflow for a feature or product release. Multiple Issue Boards are particularly useful for large projects with more than one team or in situations where a repository is used to host the code of multiple products. |

Issue Board Label Lists
An Issue Board is based on its project’s label structure, therefore, it applies the same descriptive labels to indicate placement on the board. GitLab issues can appear on multiple issues and they still have meaning without the context of a particular board. |
