Trello

Trello is the original kanban board for project management. Its boards, lists, and cards system is so intuitive that millions of people use it for everything from software development to wedding planning.

Visual Project Management

Trello's strength is its simplicity. Create a board, add lists for stages (To Do, In Progress, Done), and move cards between them. No training required, no complex configuration.

What You Get on the Free Plan

• Unlimited cards - No limit on the number of tasks
• Up to 10 boards - Manage up to 10 projects
• Unlimited storage - Attach files without worrying about limits
• 250 automation runs per month - Automate repetitive tasks with Butler
• Unlimited activity log - Full history of all changes
• Assignees and due dates - Basic task assignment and scheduling

What to Know

The 10 board limit is the main restriction. You also cannot use timeline, calendar, or dashboard views on the free plan. Trello works best for small teams with straightforward workflows. If you need sprint planning, roadmaps, or advanced reporting, tools like Linear or Asana are a better fit.
