Trello overview: who it is for and what it does.
Trello organises work as boards, lists and cards, a Kanban approach that is easy to adopt. Trello's pricing page describes the Free plan as free for a whole team and says no-code automation is built into every Trello board.
Atlassian's support documentation lays out how the plans differ. Free includes 250 automation runs per month and Standard 1,000, while Premium has unlimited runs and adds Atlassian Intelligence features and a 14-day trial of a Premium Workspace. Trello Enterprise gives every workspace Premium features plus an admin dashboard, data restrictions and SAML SSO through Atlassian Guard.
Because Trello is an Atlassian product, single sign-on and user provisioning for non-Enterprise plans use Atlassian Access, a separate subscription that Trello's pricing page lists as starting at $4 per user per month. Independent guides report that the Free plan limits a workspace to 10 open boards while paid plans offer unlimited boards.
