Trello Review Australia 2026
Simple and Accessible, But Lacks Depth for Complex Projects
Trello is still the simple USD Kanban: Free for 10 collaborators, Standard $5 annual, Premium $10 with Timeline, Enterprise $17.50 annual. Prices did not move. It is not in Atlassian data residency — US only — so it is the weakest AU-hosting option next to Jira. There is no workload planner on the cards. Guests start as single-board on Standard; multi-board guests are Enterprise and billable.
- Best for
- Small teams, freelancers, and non-technical users who want simple, visual Kanban task management. Particularly suited to teams already in the Atlassian ecosystem (Jira, Confluence) and those who value ease of use over feature depth.
- Not ideal for
- Teams that need AU data residency, Gantt/workload on a cheap plan, or AUD pricing.

AU Compliance Scores
These scores apply to Australian tax, payroll and banking capabilities where they are relevant to Trello. They are SoftwareHQ editorial judgements from public documentation, not firsthand product tests.
Not applicable means this product type is not scored on that dimension (for example BAS lodgement on a CRM). Not supported means the vendor does not offer it. Unknown means we could not verify it from public sources — that is not the same as unsupported.

How this review was made
Reviews separate vendor documentation, editorial analysis and firsthand records. They are not interchangeable.
- Vendor documentation — Public pages from Trello and other sites. Recorded HTTP(S) URLs are listed under Sources. A source URL is a document we recorded, not a claim that every sentence on this page was checked against that URL.
- Editorial analysis — SoftwareHQ's written verdict and scores for Australian buyers. The header score is an editorial assessment, not a user-review average, not a lab result, and not a number derived from how many evidence records exist.
- Firsthand records — This review has no firsthand observation records, trial walkthroughs, or screenshots from a logged-in SoftwareHQ account. Missing tests stay not tested.
This page does not rank products by speed or security from documentation or from evidence count.
Checked by SoftwareHQ Editorial Team. There is no named author profile for this page; attribution stays with the SoftwareHQ editorial team. How we test and the editorial policy for scoring, independence and affiliate rules.

Public pages recorded when this review was compiled. They are not a checklist that every claim was verified, and they are not evidence of hands-on product testing.
