A deeper look at the features that matter.
Built for Speed, Not Enterprises
Microsoft Teams was designed for Fortune 500 companies with dedicated IT teams. It shows. The app is slow, updates constantly, and requires navigating through SharePoint, Planner, and Outlook to get basic work done. Trilo is fast, focused, and built for teams who measure their size in people, not departments.
AI Without the Enterprise Tax
Microsoft Copilot costs $30 per user per month on top of your Microsoft 365 license. For a 10-person team, that is $300/month just for AI. Trilo includes AI coworkers in every plan - autonomous agents that transcribe meetings, join conversations, create tasks, and keep your projects moving.
One App, Not an Ecosystem
With Teams, you need SharePoint for files, Planner for tasks, Loop for collaboration, Outlook for calendar, and OneNote for notes. That is five apps to manage, five places to search, and five things to learn. Trilo puts chat, docs, tasks, calendar, and whiteboards in one place. Your small business does not need enterprise complexity.
