Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Most intuitive and easiest-to-learn project management tool — teams can be productive within minutes with zero training
  • Generous free plan with 10 collaborators, unlimited cards, unlimited Power-Ups, and 250 automation runs per month
  • Part of the Atlassian ecosystem with native Jira, Confluence, and Bitbucket integrations — ideal for organisations already using Atlassian tools
  • Owned by Atlassian, an Australian-founded company (Sydney, 2002) — strong corporate connection to Australia
  • 200+ Power-Up integrations including Xero, Slack, Google Workspace, Microsoft Teams, and Zapier
  • Butler automation engine included on all plans — no separate add-on cost unlike some competitors' AI features
  • Standard plan at US$5/user/month (annual) is the cheapest paid plan among major PM tools in this category
  • Support coverage during Australian business hours (8am-5pm AEST, Mon-Fri) via Atlassian's global support team

Cons

  • All data hosted in US only — Trello is NOT included in Atlassian's data residency program, so no Australian data hosting option exists even on Enterprise
  • All pricing in USD only — no AUD option, so AU customers face currency conversion costs and exchange rate fluctuations
  • Significantly less feature-rich than Asana, monday.com, or ClickUp — no built-in time tracking, workload management, goals/OKRs, or portfolio reporting
  • Timeline (Gantt), Dashboard, Calendar, and Map views require Premium plan ($10 USD/user/month) — free and Standard plans are Kanban-only
  • No phone support on any plan — all support via ticketing system only, with no live chat option
  • Free plan limited to 10 boards per workspace and 10 collaborators — teams outgrow this quickly
  • No native MYOB integration — requires third-party automation tools like Zapier or Make
