Backlog vs Ever Teams
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Backlog and Ever Teams — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Backlog vs Ever Teams: at a glance
What is Backlog?
Backlog ships steady Gantt and chart refinements, but the feed is mostly Nulab site furniture.
Only two entries in this window carry actual release content, and both are monthly digests: chart groups gaining a start/end date bar with issue counts and status breakdown on hover, personal charts dropping the parent-subtask relationship, an Android 3.0.1 redesign, Markdown in iOS custom-field text areas, plus quarterly-scale Gantt charts for Premium and Platinum plans and child-issue status filtering. The rest of the window is navigation, support links and marketing copy scraped from nulab.com — including rows that belong to sibling products Cacoo and Nulab Pass rather than to Backlog.
What is Ever Teams?
Ever Teams tags dozens of versions a day; most are fixes and test changes.
Ever Teams tags several releases a day. On 12 November 0.196 added a Jira Cloud integration section, timer notes and a Workspace settings page, and 0.197 added a due-date calendar, drag-to-reschedule and a Table layout for team tasks. The releases tagged around midnight on 13 November are small: a dismissable newsletter card, spelling-list and test fixes, a dependency bump, Docs export fixes, and in 0.199.0 a keyboard shortcut to assign tasks.

Backlog
0.0PM
Backlog ships steady Gantt and chart refinements, but the feed is mostly Nulab site furniture.
◆ Current state
Only two entries in this window carry actual release content, and both are monthly digests: chart groups gaining a start/end date bar with issue counts and status breakdown on hover, personal charts dropping the parent-subtask relationship, an Android 3.0.1 redesign, Markdown in iOS custom-field text areas, plus quarterly-scale Gantt charts for Premium and Platinum plans and child-issue status filtering. The rest of the window is navigation, support links and marketing copy scraped from nulab.com — including rows that belong to sibling products Cacoo and Nulab Pass rather than to Backlog.
◆ Where it's heading
The real work is concentrated on planning views — Gantt scale, chart grouping, issue filtering — and on closing gaps between the web app and the mobile clients. Several changes are explicitly gated to Premium and Platinum plans, so view sophistication is being used as tier differentiation. Nothing here suggests a change of direction; it is a mature tracker refining how work is visualised.
◆ Prediction
Given the run of chart and Gantt scale work, the next planning-view change is likely another axis of aggregation or filtering rather than a new surface. The scraped entries make cadence unreliable, so any stronger call would not be grounded.

◆ Current state

◆ Where it's heading
The project ships through an automated release loop that tags every merged change, so version numbers say little about scope. Real features still arrive every day or two, aimed at task views, time tracking and integrations with other project tools.
◆ Prediction
Expect the version count to keep climbing quickly, with the occasional release adding a task view or integration among many fix-only tags.
