Trello is the simplest and cheapest tool here, which is why it scores highest on ease of setup. Tasks are cards on lists, and a new team can be working within minutes. The Free plan covers up to 10 collaborators per Workspace with unlimited cards, up to 10 boards, assignees and due dates, unlimited Power-Ups per board, 250 Workspace command runs a month and iOS and Android apps. Standard costs $5 per user a month billed annually, or $6 monthly, and adds unlimited boards, custom fields, advanced checklists, card mirroring and 1,000 command runs. Premium at $10 adds Calendar, Timeline, Table, Dashboard and Map views, unlimited command runs and admin features. The limit is planning depth: there is no dependency-aware Gantt chart, and deadline views only arrive on Premium, so teams with long multi-phase projects usually outgrow Trello.
