About Trello
Trello is the simplest and most beloved project management tool for teams that want visual task management without complexity. Cards on boards with drag-and-drop simplicity makes it intuitive from day one. The free plan is genuinely powerful — unlimited cards, 10 boards per workspace, and a large library of Power-Ups (integrations). Trello's Butler automation handles repetitive board actions with no code. While it's not as feature-rich as Asana or ClickUp for complex projects, Trello's simplicity makes it the tool teams actually use consistently.
