Our verdict

Trello fits small teams and individuals who want simple boards and cards and a cheap or free start. Skip it if you need to host the data yourself or want heavy planning tools beyond boards.

What it does well

  • Free plan with unlimited cards for up to 10 collaborators per Workspace
  • Standard plan is $5 per user per month on annual billing
  • Power-Ups, automation and templates for different teams

Where it falls short

  • Free plan is capped at 10 boards per Workspace and 10MB per file
  • Free plan allows 250 Workspace command runs per month
  • Cloud only; no self-hosted option on the official pages
The Trello website
The official Trello website, 16 October 2026.

Trello is a board-based tool: you create a board, add cards and move them through lists. It also has an Inbox for capturing to-dos, a Planner that syncs with your calendar, automation, templates and Power-Ups that link it to other apps.

Pricing is per user per month. Free is $0 for up to 10 collaborators per Workspace. Standard is $5 per user per month billed annually ($6 billed monthly), Premium is $10 ($12.50 billed monthly), and Enterprise is $17.50 per user per month billed annually. Workspaces can try Premium free; the trial length is not stated on the page.

Trello works in the browser and has iOS and Android apps, plus desktop apps linked from the app stores. A REST API is documented on Atlassian's developer site.
