Blimp looks interesting, but I didn't know what it was until I clicked around, and I'm still not clear on the major differences between it and Trello. May I politely suggest that not everyone reading this post will know what Blimp is and may not take the effort to click around and read? You'd be doing yourself a favor by either: saying what Blimp is somewhere on that page, or providing a brief list of reasons I might want to switch from Trello to Blimp.

Just updated the blog post with an answer to "Why move from Trello to Blimp?" to summarize: Blimp understands the process your team is using so it can extract meaningful data from it. Head back to the blog post to read all of it.
This has been said numerous times on HN and elsewhere, but I would love to see what your pricing structure is outside of "starts at $12/month." I'm not going to give you my information just to see a pricing chart.

When you have a fixed process then extracting data out of it does not enable you to improve the process. It does enable you to improve other things but it might be adapting to the process given for you.

From what I could immediately gather, it does a better job at showing task to subtask relationships, makes it easier to delegate, and uses pretty fonts.
Trello has an extra level of nesting (Board -> List -> Card -> Checklist), shows more structure without scrolling, and tends to break a lot.
Agreed. The design is nice and one of the main reasons I would consider trying but it isn't clear why I should switch to blimp from trello.
