FAQ
What is the cheapest Trello alternative?
For a growing team · 10 users on annual billing: Taskade $10/mo (Pro), ProofHub $45/mo (Essential), Basecamp $79/mo (Pro). Trello costs $50/mo for the same shape.
Why do teams leave Trello?
Usually per-seat creep as the team grows, user caps on cheaper plans, tier jumps or annual-only billing. Gotchas we found on its pricing page: Free stops at 10 collaborators and 10 boards per Workspace. Enterprise is annual-only and the page estimates price by user count — larger teams get a quote.
