Trello is a cloud-based work management tool for planning projects, organizing workflows, collaborating, and tracking progress. Teams arrange work on boards made up of lists and cards.

Trello is available on the web, Android, and iOS, with desktop access also offered. The free plan allows up to 10 collaborators and 10 boards per Workspace, with 10MB per file and 250 Workspace command runs per month. A Workspace can enroll in a free 14-day Premium trial. Standard costs $5 per user per month when billed annually or $6 per user per month when billed monthly. Premium is $10 per user per month annually, and Enterprise is $17.50 per user per month billed annually.
