Trello is best for freelancers tracking a simple client pipeline, small teams that prefer visual kanban boards and teams moving from spreadsheets to shared task tracking. Its clearest advantage: Free plan supports up to 10 collaborators and 10 boards per Workspace.

Before you pay
Free or Standard
The free plan allows up to 10 collaborators and 10 boards per Workspace, with unlimited Power-Ups. A freelancer or a small team often stays there for good. Standard lifts the board limit and the 10 MB file cap, and Premium adds cross-project views and stronger admin controls.
What a year costs
Standard is $6 per user a month without commitment, $72 a year per user, or $5 a month on yearly billing, $60 a year. A three-person team pays $216 a year month to month or $180 on yearly billing. Premium is $12.50 per user a month, or $10 on yearly billing. Our first reading, on 10 August, noted $5, the yearly price; from 12 September the record holds the month-to-month price, so this is a correction, not a price rise.
What we would check before paying
How many boards you really keep open: the limit of 10 per Workspace is the usual reason to upgrade. If you mostly need a personal to-do list rather than a shared board, the Inbox and Planner on the free plan may cover it.
The limits to know
- Free plan caps each Workspace at 10 boards
- Free storage is limited to 10MB per file
- Cross-project views and stronger admin controls require Premium
