Trello suits a small team that wants to see all its work as cards moving across lists. The free plan lets up to 10 collaborators share a Workspace with unlimited cards, unlimited Power-Ups per board, assignees, due dates and 250 automation command runs a month, which is enough for many teams of five to ten. The first limit most teams hit is the cap of 10 boards per Workspace. Standard removes it for $5 per user per month billed annually, or $6 billed monthly, and adds Custom Fields, card mirroring, advanced checklists, single board guests and 1,000 command runs. Premium at $10 adds the Calendar, Timeline, Table, Dashboard and Map views that date-driven teams want. The tradeoff is depth: Trello has no built-in time tracking or resource planning, so teams that bill hours or juggle many deadlines may outgrow it.

Who it is for

Small teams that want a visual board they can learn in an afternoon.
