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

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Trello an Australian product?

Trello itself was created in New York in 2011 by Fog Creek Software. However, it was acquired by Atlassian in January 2017, and Atlassian is an Australian-founded company (Sydney, 2002, co-founded by Mike Cannon-Brookes and Scott Farquhar). While Trello is part of an Australian-founded company, the product is developed and operated out of the US, and all data is hosted in US regions of AWS.

Does Trello offer Australian data hosting?

No. All Trello data is stored in US regions of AWS and Google Cloud Storage. Unlike Jira and Confluence (which are part of Atlassian's data residency program and offer Australian hosting), Trello is currently not included in Atlassian's data residency options. There is no way to store Trello data in Australia, even on the Enterprise plan.

Is Trello priced in AUD for Australian customers?

No. Trello prices all plans in USD globally. Australian customers pay in USD and should account for currency conversion fees and exchange rate fluctuations. As of March 2026, plans range from Free to US$17.50/user/month (Enterprise, annual billing). GST may apply on top of the listed USD prices.

How does Trello compare to Asana and monday.com?

Trello is simpler and easier to learn than both Asana and monday.com, but significantly less feature-rich. Trello is primarily a Kanban board tool, while Asana and monday.com offer Gantt charts, goals, portfolios, workload management, and advanced reporting. Trello's free plan supports 10 collaborators (vs Asana's 10 users but more features, and monday.com's 2-seat limit). For AU data residency, monday.com offers AWS Sydney hosting on all plans, Asana offers it on Enterprise+ only, and Trello offers no AU hosting at all.

Is Trello free to use?

Yes. Trello's Free plan is available indefinitely with no time limit. It includes unlimited cards, 10 boards per workspace, up to 10 collaborators, unlimited Power-Ups, and 250 automation runs per month. File uploads are limited to 10MB per file. The free plan is sufficient for individuals and very small teams with simple task management needs.

Does Trello integrate with Xero?

Yes. Trello offers a Xero Power-Up that connects Xero projects to Trello boards. You can also connect Trello and Xero via Zapier or Make for more customised workflows. There is no native MYOB integration — that requires a third-party automation tool like Zapier.
