Trello Pricing in 2026: Every Plan, Per-Seat Cost, and Hidden Cap
Trello costs nothing to start. The Free plan is genuinely free forever, and paid plans run from $5 per user/month (Standard) to $10 (Premium) to $17.50 (Enterprise) when billed annually. Monthly billing costs more: Standard jumps to $6 and Premium to $12.50 per user/month. Every paid tier is priced per seat, so the real number is your price times the number of people on the Workspace.
Prices change, so confirm the current figures on the official Trello pricing page before you buy. Below is where each tier stands as of July 2026, what the advertised price actually bills at, and the one Free-plan limit that quietly pushes teams onto a paid seat.
Trello plans at a glance
| Plan | Annual (per user/mo) | Monthly (per user/mo) | Boards | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | $0 | 10 per Workspace | Individuals, tiny teams |
| Standard | $5 | $6 | Unlimited | Small teams needing more boards |
| Premium | $10 | $12.50 | Unlimited | Teams wanting views + AI |
| Enterprise | $17.50 (annual only) | — | Unlimited | 50+ seats, SSO, governance |
The advertised prices you see on Trello’s marketing pages are the annual-billed rates. Choosing monthly billing is the more expensive path on every paid tier.
Free
Free stays free with no time limit. You get unlimited cards, unlimited Power-Ups, and up to 10 boards per Workspace, 10 collaborators per Workspace, 250 Workspace automation command runs per month, and a 10 MB per-file attachment ceiling. For a solo user or a two-person side project, that is often all you need.
Standard — $5/user/month annual ($6 monthly)
Standard exists mostly to lift the 10-board wall. It adds unlimited boards, custom fields, advanced checklists, card mirroring, saved searches, and 1,000 automation runs per month, with a 250 MB per-file attachment limit. It does not include Trello’s AI features or the extra board views. At $5 per user billed annually (or $6 billed monthly), it is the cheapest way off the Free plan for a growing team that just needs room.
Premium — $10/user/month annual ($12.50 monthly)
Premium is the tier most teams actually want. It layers on the alternative board views — Calendar, Timeline, Table, Dashboard, and Map — plus unlimited automation runs, admin controls, and Atlassian Intelligence, Trello’s AI writing and summarization assistant. At $10 per user annually or $12.50 monthly, it roughly doubles Standard’s price, and the views plus AI are the reason.
Enterprise — $17.50/user/month, annual only
Enterprise adds organization-wide controls: SSO, SCIM provisioning, unlimited Workspaces, org-wide permissions, and multi-board guests. It is billed annually at $17.50 per user/month ($210 per user/year) and carries a 50-seat minimum, so the entry ticket is effectively $10,500 per year. The rate is a sliding scale — the published $17.50 is the starting point, and the per-seat cost drops as your seat count climbs, negotiated through Atlassian sales rather than self-serve checkout.
The hidden costs most pricing pages skip
The 10-collaborator Free cap is the real upgrade trigger. People fixate on the 10-board limit, but the collaborator ceiling bites first for teams. Add an 11th person to a Free Workspace and you are buying seats — for everyone, not just the newcomer. Because Trello prices per seat, a 12-person team on Standard is $720/year annually or $864/year on monthly billing, not a flat fee.
Annual vs monthly is a ~17-20% swing. Standard is $5 annual versus $6 monthly, and Premium is $10 versus $12.50. Committing annually saves roughly a fifth, but you pay the full year upfront and lock in the seat count. If your headcount is volatile, monthly’s flexibility can be worth the premium.
The Power-Up era is over. Trello used to gate its free tier at 10 Power-Ups per board, and heavy users stacked paid third-party Power-Ups to fill gaps. Power-Ups are now unlimited on every plan, so the old “death by add-ons” cost has largely disappeared — the spend has shifted into per-seat pricing and the AI-gated Premium tier instead. If you last priced Trello a few years ago, the math has moved.
AI is Premium-and-up only. Atlassian Intelligence in Trello was automatically switched on for all Premium and Enterprise plans, and it does not reach Standard or Free. If AI card-writing or summarization is the feature you came for, Premium at $10/user is the floor — there is no cheaper way in.
Is Trello free?
Yes — Trello has a real, permanent free plan, not a trial. It caps you at 10 boards and 10 collaborators per Workspace, 250 automation runs per month, and 10 MB per file, but cards and Power-Ups are unlimited. For a fuller breakdown of exactly what caps you and when, see our guide to Trello’s free plan limits. The honest answer: Trello is free until you cross either the board count or the collaborator count, and for many small teams that day comes sooner than the pricing page suggests.
When Trello’s pricing isn’t worth it
Trello’s per-seat model scales linearly, which is fine at three seats and painful at thirty. If you need genuine project management — dependencies, workload views, reporting — Premium’s $10/seat can feel thin next to a purpose-built tool, which is why teams often weigh Trello vs Jira or Trello vs Notion at that point. If you want a doc-plus-database hybrid rather than pure kanban, Notion covers more surface for a similar price, and if you’re comparing task tools head to head, Asana vs Trello breaks down where each one earns its seat. For teams that have outgrown kanban entirely, our roundup of Trello alternatives covers the options worth a look.

"Before Carly, I relied on a Calendly link, but the whole process felt impersonal and not very professional. Carly changed that by handling all the back-and-forth, so I'm no longer stuck in endless email threads trying to line up schedules.
Now Carly reaches out to candidates, shares my real-time availability, lets them pick a slot, then sends a Zoom link and drops it straight into my calendar. She sends reminders to both of us before each call, which has significantly reduced no-shows and last-minute confusion.
On top of scheduling, Carly acts like a full executive assistant, sending me my schedule the night before so I can prepare for each call. It reminds me of the old x.ai assistant, but Carly is noticeably smarter, faster, and better suited to my healthcare recruitment business."
