How we grade them
| 3.6GPASuperthreadExcellent | 3.8GPATrelloExcellent | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | AThe main paid plan is pay what you want, from $3 per user a month, billed monthly. Pay $3 or $67 and you get the same thing: unlimited cards, boards, spaces and pages. That's well under the going rate. The cliff comes at 50 members, where Business starts at $6,000 a year. | AStandard is $5 a user a month billed annually, or $6 monthly, which is the cheap end of this category. It brings unlimited boards, AI features, the full Planner and custom fields. Premium doubles it to $10 for the extra views. |
| Free plan and trial | BFree with unlimited members and pages, and AI agents, forms and time tracking included. But it stops at 200 cards, 4 boards and 2 spaces, with 5MB uploads and 7-day page history. A busy team will fill 200 cards quickly. | AFree for up to 10 collaborators per Workspace, with up to 10 boards, unlimited cards and unlimited Power-Ups. A small team could stay here for good. The limits you'll feel are 10MB per file and 250 automation command runs a month. |
| Features | ACards on boards you can see as kanban, list, timeline or calendar, with swimlanes, child cards and blocking relationships. Then projects, sprints, a wiki of pages with real-time editing, request forms, and time tracking with timesheets and billable rates. AI agents work across all of it. | ABoards, lists and cards, an Inbox that catches to-dos from email and Slack, a Planner that brings your calendar in, built-in automation and Power-Ups. Premium adds Calendar, Timeline, Table, Dashboard and Map views, some of them spanning boards. |
| Ease of use | BNo app rating on record, so a B is the ceiling. It's hosted, the free plan lets the whole team in, and there are built-in importers for Jira, Trello and Shortcut, so you're not starting from an empty board. | B4.3 from about 7,000 App Store ratings, which is a B on our ladder. The idea itself is as simple as they come: a card moves from one list to the next. |
| Platforms and integrations | AWeb, Mac, Windows, iPhone and Android, though no Linux app is listed. It connects to GitHub, Slack, Zapier, Google Calendar and Office 365. | AWeb, Mac, Windows, iPhone and Android. Power-Ups link boards to Slack, Jira, Miro, Microsoft Teams and Gmail, there's a public API, and an MCP server connects Trello to AI tools. |
