Overview
Trello is the original Kanban-style project management tool that popularized the board-and-card approach to task management. Now owned by Atlassian, Trello is beloved for its simplicity and visual appeal. With over 50 million users, it remains one of the most accessible project management tools available.
Key Features
Trello’s core experience is built around boards, lists, and cards with drag-and-drop simplicity. Features include checklists, due dates, labels, attachments, comments, Power-Ups (integrations), Butler automation, timeline and calendar views (on paid plans), and workspace templates.
Ease of Use
Trello is arguably the easiest project management tool to learn. The Kanban board metaphor is immediately intuitive — drag a card from “To Do” to “In Progress” to “Done.” No training required. This simplicity is what makes Trello so enduringly popular.
Pricing
Trello offers a generous free plan with unlimited cards and up to 10 boards. Standard is $5/user/month, Premium is $10/user/month, and Enterprise starts at $17.50/user/month. Annual billing is available.
Customer Support
All users have access to the help center, community forum, and Trello guides. Paid plans include priority email support. Enterprise plans include dedicated support and onboarding.
Who Should Use Trello
Trello is ideal for small teams and individuals who want a simple, visual way to manage tasks and projects without complexity. It is perfect for teams new to project management tools or those who prefer a lightweight approach.
