by Trello, Inc. · listed Oct 19, 2026
Quick verdict
Trello remains a solid pick if the board-and-card approach suits how you think, and the free plan is enough to find out. Heavy planners may want the paid tiers for scheduling and AI help.
Best for People and small teams who like managing tasks on visual boards that sync between phone and web

Trello review
Trello organises work as boards made of lists and cards, which you drag from column to column as things progress. The mobile app lets you add due dates, checklists, comments, attachments and descriptions to each card. A newer Inbox collects quick captures such as photos, forwarded emails, and messages saved from Slack or Microsoft Teams. You can then sort them onto the right board. It suits individuals running a personal to-do system as well as small teams who already use Trello on the web.
Day to day it feels light: you open a board, see where everything stands, and move cards with a swipe or a drag. You can show your Google or Outlook calendar next to your tasks, and push reminders cover due dates and card updates. Paid Standard and Premium plans add Planner for blocking focus time and AI summaries of saved items.
Why we picked it: The board-and-card model is easy to grasp, and the free tier covers most personal and light team use across phone and web.
Watch out for: Planner, AI features and some advanced options sit behind paid plans. Android reviews are noticeably more mixed than iOS ones.
