Cards you drag, and not much else to learn
Trello is a kanban board: lists of cards you drag from "To do" to "Done". Cards hold checklists, due dates, attachments, and comments, and Power-Ups bolt on extras like calendar views and GitHub links. It is owned by Atlassian, the company behind Jira.
Small boards, new collaborators, zero training
- Small teams and personal projects that just need a shared visual board
- People who found Jira or Asana heavier than the work they manage
- Anyone onboarding non-technical collaborators; there is nearly nothing to learn
Free to 10 boards, then priced at $5 a seat
Trello is freemium. As of July 2026, the free plan includes unlimited cards, up to 10 boards per workspace, up to 10 collaborators per workspace, unlimited Power-Ups, 250 automation runs a month, and file attachments up to 10MB each. Standard ($5/user/month billed annually) lifts the board cap and raises attachments to 250MB. Premium ($10/user/month) adds calendar, timeline, and dashboard views.
The 10-collaborator wall, and three smaller limits
- The 10-collaborator cap per free workspace is the wall most teams hit first
- No built-in Gantt, timeline, or reporting without Premium or Power-Ups
- Subtasks are just checklists; dependencies and workload views do not exist
- 250 automation runs a month disappears quickly once you rely on Butler rules
Still the least-friction board, until you are 11 people
For a simple shared board, Trello is still the least-friction option going. If your team is bigger than 10 people or your process needs sprints and dependencies, start with ClickUp or Plane instead.
