Trello Pricing Explained for Free and Premium Plans

Trello has an ongoing free plan and three documented paid tiers. Compare their USD prices, billing terms, workspace limits, advanced views and guest rules to decide whether Free, Standard, Premium or Enterprise fits your workflow.

Trello pricing starts with an ongoing Free plan, followed by Standard at $6, Premium at $12.50 and Enterprise at an annual-billed equivalent of $17.50 per user per month. The right tier depends on your number of collaborators, boards, billable guests and need for views beyond a standard Trello board. Small groups can begin free, while growing teams should calculate paid seats before choosing Standard or Trello Premium.

Trello pricing at a glance

Trello lists US prices in USD and bills paid Workspaces for members and multi-board guests. The prices and terms below were verified on October 9, 2026. Monthly and annual figures should be compared carefully because an annual-billed monthly equivalent requires a full-year commitment rather than month-to-month payments.

PlanMonthly Workspace billingAnnual billingDecision-relevant details
Free$0Not applicableOngoing free Workspace plan with limits on collaborators, boards, file size and automation commands
Standard$6 per user per month$5 per user per month, billed as $60 per user per yearEntry paid plan; attachments can be up to 250MB per file
Premium$12.50 per user per month$10 per user per month when billed annually, equivalent to $120 per user per yearAdds Calendar, Timeline, Table, Dashboard and Map views
EnterpriseThe documented rate is billed annually$17.50 per user per month, billed as $210 per user per yearHigher-priced tier intended for organizations evaluating broader administration and oversight

The annual rates are lower than paying the documented monthly Workspace rate for 12 months, but they carry an annual billing commitment. Enterprise is presented differently from Standard and Premium because its $17.50 amount is a monthly equivalent attached to a $210 annual charge.

How guest billing affects the total

Paid Workspace subscriptions charge for members. A guest who participates on one board is included, but a guest who joins multiple boards in the same Workspace is billed as a member. This distinction can materially change the total for agencies, consultants and teams collaborating with clients.

For example, a Workspace with six members and two single-board guests would normally calculate its subscription from the six members. If both guests later joined a second board, the billable count would become eight. At the Premium annual rate, eight seats would equal an illustrative $960 per year, calculated as 8 × $120.

Is Trello free and who is it for?

Yes, Trello is free for individuals and teams that can work within the Free Workspace allowances. It provides Trello’s core visual structure of boards, lists and cards, allowing participants to organize tasks, assignments, due dates, checklists, attachments and comments.

Each Free Workspace is limited to:

  • Up to 10 collaborators
  • Up to 10 boards
  • Attachments of up to 10MB per file
  • 250 Workspace automation command runs per month

The Free plan is a practical starting point for personal planning, a small editorial calendar or a compact project group. A five-person team operating three boards, for example, remains below the collaborator and board caps. It should still watch file sizes and automation use, especially if rules trigger frequently across active cards.

An upgrade becomes relevant when a specific constraint affects real work. Reaching the tenth board may complicate plans for another project, while a file larger than 10MB cannot fit within the Free attachment allowance. Teams should identify the constraint first rather than upgrading only because a project has become more important.

What Trello Premium adds

Trello Premium costs $12.50 per user under monthly Workspace billing or $10 per user per month with annual billing. Its clearest decision-relevant addition is a collection of alternative project views:

  • Calendar presents work in a date-oriented format.
  • Timeline helps teams examine scheduled work across time.
  • Table provides a structured way to scan card information.
  • Dashboard offers another perspective for examining board work.
  • Map provides a location-oriented view when geographic context matters.

These views matter when a board alone no longer answers common planning questions efficiently. A content team may prefer Calendar for scheduled publication dates, while a team coordinating overlapping activities may find Timeline more useful. Table can suit people who need to scan structured information without moving through individual board columns.

Premium also receives the higher attachment allowance available on Standard and above, permitting files up to 250MB each rather than the Free plan’s 10MB limit. Trello offers a Premium free trial, but its duration is not confirmed, so review the displayed trial period before enrolling.

Premium is not automatically the right paid plan for every team. If the main issue is simply outgrowing a Free Workspace constraint or needing larger attachments, Standard is the lower-cost paid tier to assess. Premium makes more sense when the additional views have a clear role in recurring planning, reporting or coordination.

Choosing between Free, Standard, Premium and Enterprise

The most reliable way to evaluate Trello pricing is to count billable participants and identify the exact workflow limitation driving the purchase.

Choose Free for a contained workflow

Start with Free when the Workspace will remain within 10 collaborators and 10 boards, files are no larger than 10MB each, and 250 monthly command runs are sufficient. This fits individuals, household planning and small teams running a limited set of projects.

Evaluate Standard for an affordable paid step

Standard costs $6 per user with monthly Workspace billing or $60 per user per year. It is the first paid tier to assess when Free-plan constraints begin interfering with work but Premium’s additional views are unnecessary. Its 250MB per-file attachment allowance is particularly relevant for teams sharing larger creative or project assets.

Choose Premium when multiple views improve decisions

Premium is worth considering when Calendar, Timeline, Table, Dashboard or Map views will be used regularly. The value comes from seeing the same underlying project work through formats suited to scheduling, structured scanning or broader visibility, not merely from having more viewing options available.

Calculate that value across every billable seat. For eight paid users, Premium would cost $100 per month with monthly Workspace billing or an illustrative $960 per year with annual billing. Standard for the same eight users would be $48 per month or $480 per year annually. In this example, Premium’s annual cost is $480 higher, so the team should be able to name the planning problem its advanced views will solve.

Evaluate Enterprise for organization-level oversight

Enterprise is the tier to investigate when a larger organization needs broader administrative controls and oversight across its Trello use. Its documented price is $210 per user per year. Because that is annual billing, a 20-user deployment would have an illustrative subscription cost of $4,200 per year before accounting for any multi-board guests that become billable.

Use a final seat and workflow check

  1. Count Workspace members.
  2. Identify guests who participate on more than one board and include them as billable users.
  3. Check whether Free accommodates the required collaborators, boards, files and command usage.
  4. Decide whether larger attachments alone support considering Standard.
  5. List which Premium views the team will use and the decisions each view will improve.
  6. Multiply the selected per-user price by the billable seat count using one consistent billing term.

This process produces a plan choice based on the Workspace’s actual structure. Begin with Free when its limits are sufficient, move to Standard for the lower-cost paid option, and select Premium only when its additional planning views justify the per-user difference.

Frequently Asked Questions About Trello pricing and plans

Is Trello free?

Yes. Trello has an ongoing Free Workspace plan supporting basic visual task organization. A Free Workspace is limited to 10 collaborators, 10 boards, 10MB per attached file and 250 Workspace command runs each month. Those limits apply at the Workspace level rather than separately to every board.

Is Trello Premium billed per user?

Yes. Premium costs $12.50 per user with monthly Workspace billing. With annual billing, its rate is $10 per user per month, equivalent to $120 per user for a year. Paid Workspaces bill for members and guests participating on multiple boards.

Are Trello guests charged as paid users?

A guest participating on only one Workspace board is included. If that guest joins multiple boards in the same paid Workspace, Trello bills the guest as a member. Review board participation as well as the member list when estimating the number of paid seats.

Can I try Trello Premium before paying?

Trello offers a Premium free trial, although the confirmed information does not specify its duration. Check the trial terms presented when enrolling, particularly the end date and what happens to the Workspace afterward.
