Our verdict
It depends on your prioritiesThe simplest board tool against the broadest feature set, two dollars apart.
TechBigs verdict, published Sep 4, 2026
ClickUp gives more for US$7 than Trello does for US$5, and that is the problem as well as the point. Trello is the better answer when the team's real requirement is that nobody has to be trained.

What each free plan holds
Trello's free plan allows ten boards per workspace and up to ten collaborators, with unlimited cards inside them. ClickUp's free plan is limited differently: 60MB of storage, five spaces, one form, forty lists per space and limited automations, with no user cap named on the page.
Feature coverage
ClickUp states Kanban boards, unlimited Gantt charts and timeline views, native time tracking, custom fields, resource management, automations and guest permissions. Trello states boards, a timeline view, custom fields, built-in automation and board guests. Time tracking, dependencies and workload are not on its pricing page, so they show as not verified.
Price ladder
Trello: US$5 per user a month billed annually for Standard, US$10 for Premium, US$17.50 for Enterprise. ClickUp: US$7 for Unlimited, US$12 for Business, quoted Enterprise. ClickUp's artificial-intelligence features are separate per-user add-ons at US$9 and US$28, which is worth reading before comparing totals.
