Trello (Standard) review 2026

The original kanban board, still the simplest way to move cards across a wall, with automation built in and $5 a user

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
