As the number of cards on a board grows, it can sometimes become cluttered, making it difficult to find specific information without heavy use of filters“ April 9, 2026 Greg W Senior Learning TechnologistHospitality, 1,001 - 5,000 employeesUsed the software for: More than 2 years. “It is incredibly intuitive for onboarding new team members, and the flexibility of the cards allows for a high degree of customization—especially when using Power-Ups to bridge the gap between simple task tracking and more complex project management.“ April 23, 2026 SM Sean M Chief Editor at deBankedFinancial Services, 501 - 1,000 employeesUsed the software for: More than 2 years. “To work around this, you have to install add-ons (called "Power-Ups"), but their integration can sometimes clutter the interface or require extra subscriptions that spoil the baseline experience.“ June 11, 2026 Diego G Project ManagerRetail, 201 - 500 employeesUsed the software for: More than 2 years. “Overall, Trello offers a very high ROI due to its competitive Pricing model; it provides exactly the right amount of structure for agile coordination without the administrative complexity of larger platforms, making it an incredibly cost-effective solution for our team's daily operations.“ May 7, 2026 Álvaro C Deploy ManagerInformation Technology and Services, 11 - 50 employeesUsed the software for: More than 2 years. “It's also not possible to link tasks that are dependent on one another, which would be important for knowing whether one task affects another. As the project scales up significantly, the view can become quite chaotic and hard to follow in terms of a clear timeline.“ July 13, 2026 ## Showing most helpful reviews Showing 1-25 of 23600 Reviews Sort by: Most Helpful Rating Company Size Reviewer's Role Length of Use Frequency of Use Mariana V. Marketing Team Lead Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Very visual, intuitive and simple to use" August 21, 2026 5.0 Overall great experience. I love how easy it is to start using. Perfect for managing small projects alone or with multiple collaborators. Pros It's very visual, intuitive and simple to use, so great user experience. The free plan includes 10 collaborators and 10 boards per workspace, which is good for small projects. It also integrates with other tools. Cons The tool doesn't have any time-tracking, which would be very useful. If you have larger teams or big projects it might be harder to scale. Review Source AB Alexis B. Cultural Director Of Cinema And Live Performance Government Administration Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A Wonderful Tool" July 8, 2026 5.0 All in all,Trello has been reliable in assigning tasks ,tracking deadlines and allow team collaboration with a shared board that facilitate clear communication. Pros Easy to navigate and performs reliably.Provides versatile customization features suc as color coding,templates and labels that suit different types of projects. Simple to assign tasks and track deadlines . Cons Trello is amazing in all its purposes and is affordable in terms of price,so far haven't faced any big challenge . Review Source Shawna S. Head of marketing Real Estate Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Average project management software " August 1, 2026 3.0 Overall, it gets the job done, but there are other project management software tools out there that do a far better job Pros I liked that it was an option in an ever growing project management market for digital tools within a team of more than five however it could still use much improvement for me to give it a five Cons What i liked Least about Trella was that it seemed like it was still in Beta mode it has a ways to go before I would rank it a five out of five Review Source MC Mantesh C. Assistant Digital Marketing Manager Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent for visual project tracking, but lacks deep analytical reporting" June 16, 2026 4.0 The overall experiance about the trello is amazing. Trello is a highly reliable and best tool for managing daily workflows, task management, and keeping teams aligned. It excels at breaking down multi-step processes into clear, actionable visual stages. Pros As per my personal experience, the User Interface and the Kanban-style layout are incredibly intuitive. It takes a fraction of a second to onboard a beginner team member because everything operates via a simple "drag-and-drop" interface. I love how flexible the cards are-you can dump links, attachments, checklists, and assign deadlines all in one place. Cons I used lots of time trello in my day-to-day activities. The least like tings is once a project expands beyond a certain specific size, the boards can become cluttered and overwhelming to look at. The built-in facilities, like reporting and automations (Butler) are fine for basic tasks, but if you want to look at high-level portfolio views, resource allocation, or complex dependency mapping, Trello starts to feel a bit too lightweight.

It was becoming impossible to track task ownership and real-time updates as our project volume increased. Review Source JL Joy L. Associate Partner Management Consulting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Intuitive operation, clear layout, and fast and reliable documentation of working hours." August 13, 2026 5.0 Trello helps me with three things in particular: clear time management including to-dos and accurate time tracking, structured project management, and smooth team collaboration. Everything is clearly organized in one place, making coordination easier and ensuring no information gets lost. Pros We chose Trello four years ago because we were looking for a tool that would allow us to manage projects and accurately log time for an efficient and reliable billing process. Over time, we've integrated many other great Trello features into our daily project work, so now we work exclusively with this tool! Cons I honestly can't think of anything I don't like. With many projects and lots of people involved, things can sometimes get confusing, but thanks to the new AI features, even hidden subtasks can be found quickly. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Content Specialist Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Makes things simple!" July 26, 2026 4.0 Pros I like the workflow and how we can set things up to demonstrate the products individual creative assets have made. I think that Trello is better at presenting a calendar and timeline-like view better than any other software Cons I don't like that due dates are a bit hidden from view in the desktop version. Also, I've had issues with content not saving automatically, and having to redo work if it's placed in the description. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Copywriter Writing and Editing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Simple and accessible solution for anyone starting out. " August 11, 2026 5.0 It's perfect for handling tasks and deliverables for individual clients. And it does a great job of keeping different projects separated. Pros Great economic solution to task management and prject boards. Perfect for freelancers just starting out. Cons You can run out of free features pretty quickly before needing to purchase the tool. That is, and it's not nearly as robust as options like Monday or ClickUp. Review Source Ekpono A. Software Engineer Hospitality Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great for Simple Visual Tracking, Limited for Complex Workflows" August 28, 2026 5.0 My overall experience with Trello was positive for standard task management, though it struggled to scale. Pros Trello is actually very simple to use and visually clear. The drag-and-drop Kanban layout makes project tracking intuitive immediately Cons What I liked least about Trello is its limitation with complex projects. It doesn't have deep subtask tracking, and built-in reporting without third-party integrration Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Marketing Specialist Environmental Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great overall" August 6, 2026 5.0 Pros What I like most about Trello is the customizability and organizational methods. Also, sharing in real time with colleagues is critical. Cons What I like least about Trello is pretty much nothing. It's a great tool for beginners and teams and the free version offers many options. Review Source TN Taylor N. Owner Design Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Good Organization " August 19, 2026 4.0 Mostly positive and like I said I had trouble figuring out how to get started but overall I liked it. Pros Honestly it had an insane value for the money and it makes it so easy to stay organized and keep track of everything. Cons It was a little hard to get used to using it at first but that's not too bad. I had to use a tutorial. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Software Developer and Consultant Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Go-to Simple Project Tracking Tool" December 3, 2025 5.0 We used Trello for progress tracking of a mobile application project. We used it to track individual work items and their progress. The plugins available allowed us to assign labels, task sizes, link github and more. The control over the different columns available on the board gave our team flexibility for what the different states our tasks could fall into. I would use trello again for project tracking without question. Pros Trello is the best tool for tracking progress for beginners. It's extremely easy to use, but the plugins that are available allow the tool to become as powerful as you want it to be. One of my favorite features is the simple kanban-style board that the application is designed around. Tasks can easily be tracked from creation to completion, and the value that Trello provides far exceeds the cost to have access to the service. Cons For power users, Trello can be a little too simple of a tool. This can be somewhat remedied by the addition of plugins, but it doesn't cover all the bases a power user might want.

Marketing Director Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Useful & easy to use low-cost tool for managing our marketing comms/content calendar" March 18, 2026 4.0 Useful low-cost tool for managing our marketing comms/content calendar - easy to use and update as well as share with relevant stakeholders Pros Useful collaboration tool for the marketing team to manage our content and comms calendar - the calendar power up in particular is easy to manage within the team, and share across the wider business to give visibility on our activity Cons The UI can sometimes be a little obtuse and settings which were once saved become undone. Quite random and not a major issue but can be frustrating nonetheless. Alternatives considered [ClickUp](https://www.capterra.com/p/158833/ClickUp/) Reason for choosing Trello Ease of use and ability to easily share with other users - Trello was just the easier/simpler tool to use Review Source PT Paul T. Managing Director Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "My go to tool for day to day live both business and personal" September 7, 2025 5.0 I've used a number of project management softwares and while others are likely more appropriate for true project approaches, I find Trello absolutely game changing. I've been able to go from general to do lists, email inbox overflow, post in notes and specific project objectives into one unified place with complete organisation. It's my go to tool both professional and personal. Pros The best features of Trello for me are email to board (allowing you to send tasks right from your inbox). The AI catches most of the detail, preserves the original email and marks up dates. I love the views - tabular, calendar and general kanban. Extremely useful for different case uses. I love the automations, allowing me to renew weekly/monthly tasks where I can set the target dates to recur in a week, one month etc. I also love the calendar subscription mode allowing me to populate my diary/calendar with task and objectives. Support from their success team is also great. Cons I think it may be a bit simple, for very complicated tethered projects. I don't really deal with this type of work, in fairness. However I think it's devastating in it's simplicity and with add ons you could make it do the truly challenging stuff. I haven't found any cons for my use cases. Switched from [monday.com AI Work Platform](https://www.capterra.com/p/147657/monday-com/) Monday is substantially more expensive for little more than glorified shared and dynamic spreadsheets (in my personal view). Trello doesn't become crazy expensive when you need to more users on board. Review Source DC Denise C. Senior HR Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to use customizable communication " December 31, 2025 5.0 Great experience. Easy to use. No training needed. Allows for easy collaboration. Can set up preferred notifications. Pros Very easy to use. Clear concise displays. Customizable. Can setup notifications for new comments, content, etc. Cons Wish there were a few more options for customizing theme, colors, etc. Otherwise overall a good easy to use platform. Switched from [monday.com AI Work Platform](https://www.capterra.com/p/147657/monday-com/) Trello is easier to use and allows more room for notes/comments. Review Source Kartikeya G. Property Management Real Estate Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Simple visual boards that keep our property management tasks on track." April 12, 2026 4.0 I use Trello at Minikaal Corporation, a small residential property management company, to keep track of leasing, maintenance, and back‑office tasks across our units. The board‑list‑card layout maps very naturally to our workflows (New Leads → Showings → Applications → Leases, or Open Ticket → In Progress → Awaiting Vendor → Completed), so the team can see status at a glance without digging through spreadsheets or email chains. Overall, Trello is an excellent fit for small property management and operations teams that need a visual, flexible system more powerful than sticky notes and email, but lighter than a full project management suite. It has become our go‑to place to see “what’s on deck” across leasing, maintenance, and admin, and I’d happily recommend it to other real estate or service businesses looking for a simple way to organize their work. Pros The biggest pros for us are how easy it is to set up new boards, customize lists, and add checklists, due dates, and attachments to each card. A new virtual assistant or contractor can understand our boards in minutes, and features like labels, comments, and simple Butler automations help ensure follow‑ups and recurring tasks don’t slip through the cracks. Trello also plays nicely with Google Workspace, so we can link Docs and Sheets, and use it alongside tools like Slack, Zoom, and email for day‑to‑day coordination. Cons On the downside, Trello’s native reporting and time‑based views are fairly light, so for portfolio‑level KPIs or more complex project tracking we still lean on spreadsheets or other tools. As boards grow large, it can also feel a bit cluttered without clear conventions for naming cards and archiving old work, which means you need some discipline in how you design and maintain your boards Review Source Sandra J. Science Communication Technician Biotechnology Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Simple and visual Task Management, Best for basic Team Collaboration" April 16, 2026 5.0 Trello makes it easy and smooth to mange tasks and simple project with great visual organization. It's simple to use and work well for teams that don't need a lot of automation or advanced controls. But it becomes limiting when the project gets more complicated and the need for reports grows. Pros Trello is very easy to use because its interface is clean and simple. Anyone can start managing tasks right away. It has boards and cards that make it easy to see how tasks are going, which makes it easier to understands how the project is going. Collaboration is easy, so team can stay on the same page without any problems. In general, it's light, quick and dependable for basic project management needs. Cons Trello's advanced feature are limited, especially for managing complicated projects and automating processes, which makes it hard to grow. Customer service can seem slow or less proactive when it comes to fixing bigger problems. Compared to more advanced tools, it doesn't have very good reporting and analytics. Review Source EP Eric P. ERP Supervisor Leisure, Travel & Tourism Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great for organizing team workflows." June 11, 2026 4.0 I think Trello is a great software for team task management and scheduling, particularly in our mid-sized business where we're handling several campaigns and operations at a time. Easy to use and customer service has been quick to respond when we have contacted them a few times. However, it may need to be integrated with other tools for more in-depth analytics or when scaling up. Pros Since the adoption of Trello, we feel like we have a much easier way to manage our marketing planning and preparations for traveling events. The visual boards come in very handy when it comes to task allocation between departments, particularly if you have to book water park maintenance with promotions during the summer. Automating repetitive tasks saves us time and the calendar view helps with syncing up campaigns with timelines. Cons The downside of Trello is that it doesn't offer as many reporting features as might be preferred for task tracking. Having to extract data for reviews or to measure workflow bottlenecks as an ERP Supervisor is often something I have to do, and the tools that Trello have in this area do not seem very useful. Also, when managing multiple boards, keeping an overview can get a bit chaotic without integrations. Review Source HM Heather M. Online Platform Coordinator Mental Health Care Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Wonderful Platform!" April 21, 2026 5.0 Trello has helped our team as a whole in so many ways! It has been a wonderful addition to help us navigate through our daily duties by letting us see at a glance what is happening and what needs to be completed. Pros What I liked most about Trello is its simplicity and visual approach to project management. The board and card system makes it easy to organize tasks, track progress, and quickly understand what's going on at a glance. Cons Absolutely Nothing! Trello is everything it is setup to be, its perfect the way it is! We, as a team, have had nothing but positive feedback when it comes to Trello. Review Source AD Alexandre D. Secretary General Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good enough for monitoring board meetings but inadequate otherwise." May 16, 2026 5.0 Trello serves the purpose as an administrative tool for a mid-sized technology company, but just about. While it is good enough for basic activities, it simply cannot handle our projects' interdependency and their board documents' versioning process. Pros The card system works fine in terms of monitoring the actions that the board takes along with any governance. I can assign different cards to individual managers within various departments and get an overview of pending activities. Activity streams help me monitor all the activity carried out by individual employees in case of audits. Butler automation assists in saving time in terms of repeated governance actions. Cons There are no Gantt charts, making it impossible to monitor our reporting deadlines on a quarterly basis. The free plan allows for 10 boards at most, making it inadequate since we need to manage multiple board committees. The integration process with the document repository in SharePoint poses an issue. Review Source Hayden R. Graphic Designer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great software for understanding group taks" April 18, 2026 5.0 Overall a great experience. The price point of the software is more than fair for the capabilities you get out of it, and the ease of use makes it possible for everybody to use. Pros a great affordable tool to use for teams to keep track of tasks, and understand how far these tasks have been completed. With the rise of working from home it's great to help understand where the level of joint projects are at, when in different places. The software also loads these tasks instantly for all the team to view. Cons Although the layout is a major positive for understanding tasks, it can look overwhelming when there is many tasks on there. This makes it hard to understand what needs doing Review Source Kayla H. Consultant Civic & Social Organization Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Simple, Organized, and Great for Team Collaboration”" May 15, 2026 5.0 Overall, my experience with Trello has been very positive. It’s a reliable and flexible platform that helps keep projects, deadlines, and daily tasks organized without requiring a lot of technical knowledge. The interface is clean, easy to navigate, and simple to learn, which makes onboarding new users quick and stress-free. Trello has been especially helpful for improving organization, collaboration, and workflow management while keeping everything visually accessible. Pros Trello is extremely user-friendly and makes organizing tasks, projects, and workflows simple without feeling overwhelming. I really like the drag-and-drop kanban style boards because they make it easy to visually track progress and keep everything organized in one place. The ability to add checklists, due dates, comments, attachments, and team collaboration tools helps keep communication clear and projects moving smoothly. It’s also great for both personal organization and team management. Cons Some of the more advanced features and automations are limited unless you upgrade to a paid plan. While Trello works great for basic and moderate project management, larger or more complex projects can sometimes feel too simplified compared to other platforms with more advanced reporting and tracking options. Review Source Mai M. Managing Director Hospitality Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Terrific Trello" March 20, 2026 5.0 Trello is a dream! Loving the project management tool that uses boards, lists, and cards to organize tasks, track progress, and support team collaboration. It's super customizable and perfect for marketing and ops teams. Trello helps us with workflows, tasks, deadlines and automates actions using its "Butler" automation feature Pros LOVING Trello! It helps visualize workflows, assign tasks with deadlines, and automate repetitive actions using its "Butler" automation feature. Also loving and actively utilizing the List feature to keep me on task! Cons So far, NO CONS! I'm truly loving this platform! Loving the use of the Boards the Lists and the Cards features.

I have not had any major issues that I cannot fix or chat with AI/service. Pros Trello is very user friendly. It keeps me organized. I like how I can share my boards easily, but if I don't want to, I don't have to. I can integrate w/ many other programs that I use regularly. Cons Not everyone uses it. It is pricey compared to others for what it offers. Some find other solutions more affordable. Review Source LL Léo L. Manager Management Consulting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Simple and intuitive, but outgrows itself quickly" July 31, 2026 4.0 Overall, Trello is a lightweight, intuitive tool that's excellent for simple task management and small-to-medium team collaboration. The visual board format is easy to adopt and requires almost no onboarding, which makes it a great starting point for teams that don't want a steep learning curve. However, as projects grow in complexity. Pros The visual, drag-and-drop board layout makes it easy to see project status at a glance without digging through menus. It has a low learning curve, new team members can pick it up in minutes and the free tier is generous enough for small teams or personal projects Cons Trello works great for simple workflows but starts to strain as projects get more complex. There's no built-in way to see dependencies between tasks, so multi-step projects with blockers get hard to track. Reporting and analytics are weak or nonexistent without a paid Power-Up or third-party integration. Boards can also get cluttered and hard to navigate once a project has dozens of cards, and there's no true subtask/checklist hierarchy. Review Source Gabby W. Founder E-Learning Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great for project management" May 25, 2026 5.0 I’ve had a very positive experience with Trello overall. It’s a simple and effective project management tool that makes it easy to organize tasks, content, and workflows visually. I especially like the drag-and-drop board system because it helps keep projects clear and easy to manage without feeling overwhelming. It works well for both personal organization and team collaboration. Pros Pros: Very easy to learn and use, even for beginners Clean visual layout with boards, lists, and cards Great for task management, content planning, and team collaboration Helpful integrations and automation features through Power-Ups Flexible enough for both simple projects and more detailed workflows Cons Cons: Can feel limited for larger or more complex project management needs Some useful features are locked behind paid plans Managing many boards at once can become cluttered Reporting and analytics tools are more basic than some competitors Review Source Similar Products Featured ## Send me user reviews about this product ### Fill out the form and we'll send a list of the top-rated software based on real user reviews directly to your inbox.
