Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Trello cost per user?
Trello Standard costs $5/user/month (annual) or $6/user/month (monthly). Premium costs $10/user/month (annual) or $12.50/month. Enterprise is $17.50/user/month with a minimum of 25 users. The Free plan is $0 but limited to 10 boards per workspace.
Is Trello still free?
Trello has a free tier, but it is significantly more restricted than when Trello launched in 2011. The free plan now limits you to 10 boards per workspace, 250 Butler automation runs per month, and no advanced views (Timeline, Calendar, Dashboard). When Atlassian acquired Trello in 2017, the free tier was progressively reduced.
What did Atlassian change about Trello pricing?
Before the Atlassian acquisition (2017), Trello was completely free with unlimited boards. After the acquisition, Atlassian introduced paid tiers and progressively restricted the free tier: unlimited boards became 10 boards, Power-Ups went from unlimited to 1 (then back to unlimited on all plans), and automations (Butler) became limited to 250/month on free. The paid tiers now cost up to $17.50/user/month.
What's the difference between Trello Standard and Premium?
Trello Standard ($5/user/mo annual) gives you unlimited boards, 1,000 automation runs/month, custom fields, and guest access. Trello Premium ($10/user/mo annual) adds Timeline view, Calendar view, Dashboard view, Map view, unlimited automations, workspace-level admin features, and priority support. If you need views beyond the basic Kanban board, you need Premium.
What are the best free alternatives to Trello?
The best free alternatives to Trello are: ClickUp Free (unlimited tasks, unlimited projects, no board limit), Notion Free (unlimited pages, databases, kanban), GitHub Projects (free for public repos, $4/user for Teams), and Kanboard (self-hosted, completely free). For teams leaving Trello's paid plans, ClickUp Unlimited at $7/user is cheaper than Trello Standard.
