Quick answer
Trello costs $5 to $17.50 per user per month billed annually: Standard $5, Premium $10 and Enterprise $17.50, with Standard $6 and Premium $12.50 billed monthly. A 25-person team pays $1,500 a year on Standard or $3,000 on Premium at list price.
Key takeaways
- Cheapest paid option: Standard at $5 per user per month, billed annually.
- Most planning-heavy teams need Premium at $10 for Timeline, Calendar and Dashboard views.
- Biggest hidden cost: the Free plan's 10 collaborator cap forces every member onto paid seats.
- Best way to save: pay annually and audit members before renewal.
Trello is often the first project tool a team adopts, because the free plan and simple boards make it easy to start. The cost appears once the team grows past 10 collaborators or wants timelines and dashboards.
This guide explains every plan from Trello's official pricing page and shows what a 25-person team pays for each.

Hidden costs to budget for
| Scenario | Annual cost | Change |
|---|---|---|
| Standard, billed annually (25 users) | $1,500 | Headline price |
| Premium for Timeline and Dashboard views, annually (25 users) | $3,000 | +$1,500 |
| Premium paid monthly instead of annually (25 users) | $3,750 | +$750 |
- Free plan collaborator cap. The Free plan allows 10 collaborators per Workspace; adding the eleventh means paying for everyone.
- Views live on Premium. Calendar, Timeline, Table, Dashboard and Map views all require Premium.
- Monthly billing premium. Premium costs $12.50 monthly versus $10 annually, 25% more per user.
- Security is Enterprise only. Atlassian Guard Standard and organization-wide permissions come only with Enterprise at $17.50 annually.
- Guests across boards. Multi-board guests are an Enterprise feature, so external collaborators can push you up a tier.
Which Trello plan should you choose?
- Free. Choose if 10 or fewer people share a Workspace and 10 boards are enough.
- Standard. Choose if you need unlimited boards, custom fields and AI features at the lowest price.
- Premium. Choose if you plan with Timeline, Calendar, Table or Dashboard views.
- Enterprise. Choose if IT needs Atlassian Guard, organization-wide permissions and unlimited Workspaces.
Is Trello worth the price?
Trello is inexpensive and easy to adopt, and Standard is good value for teams that live in Kanban boards. Premium is worth it only if people will use the extra views every week; otherwise a full project tool may give more for similar money.
You are likely overpaying if: You pay for Premium but nobody opens Timeline or Dashboard views, or you pay monthly for a team that has used Trello for years.
How to pay less for Trello
- Pay annually. Annual billing saves about 17% on Standard and 20% on Premium.
- Audit members. Remove inactive members and leavers before renewal; every user is a paid seat.
- Keep small Workspaces on Free. Teams of 10 or fewer who do not need unlimited boards can stay on Free.
- Check the Atlassian bundle. If you already pay for Jira or Atlassian Guard, ask whether consolidating on one Atlassian contract lowers the total.
- Compare ClickUp and Asana. ClickUp Unlimited is $7 per user and Asana Starter $10.99 per user billed annually.
- Downgrade unused Premium. Move teams that only use boards back to Standard to halve the per-user cost.

| Trello Free | $0 (up to 10 collaborators) | Your team is 10 people or fewer and boards are enough |
The bigger picture: why Trello bills drift
Trello spend drifts because Workspaces are created team by team. Each team upgrades separately, members stay on after they move on, and the renewal is handled by whoever owns the card, not whoever checks usage.
Leavers stay billable
Trello seats outlive the people who used them.
Owners, seat counts and renewal dates for every vendor in one place.
The notice window closes
Trello renews at list price with last year's seat count.
Renewal alerts on every contract
The owner is alerted before renewals and expiries, with the signed terms one click away.
Teams buy their own accounts
Departments upgrade on a card without checking what the company already owns.
Purchase requests with approvals
Requests route and get approved before anyone buys; Z1 "Prompt to buy" keeps it fast.
Charges nobody approved
Mid-term seat additions land outside the original PO.
AP automation with PO matching
Invoices are matched to POs and receipts before payment.
No view of total software spend
Spend is spread across cards, invoices and entities.
Spend by vendor and category, synced two ways with your ERP.
The bottom line
Standard is the right plan for most board-driven teams, and Premium is worth it only when views are used weekly. Consolidate Workspaces and audit members before every renewal. Zapro runs that renewal habit for Trello and every other tool you buy.
