Is the Trello Worth It?
Best kanban board. For a board of tasks that move left to right, nothing beats Trello for clarity or price. Our dependency-heavy project was more than it wants to handle.
Trello Pros & Cons
Pros
- Our team needed no onboarding at all
- Butler automation moves cards and assigns without a plan upgrade
- $50 a month for ten; usable free
- Power-Ups add most missing features
Cons
- Dependencies and timeline needed Premium and Power-Ups — our project strained it
- Reporting is thin
- Cards become messy at 120 tasks
