Trello

Project Management Freemium

Trello's whole model is cards moving across columns — a Kanban board stripped down to the basics, with almost nothing to configure before you start dragging tasks into place. That simplicity is the draw: small teams, freelancers, and individuals can go from signup to an organized board in minutes. A free plan removes the cost barrier to trying it, and Power-Ups are there to extend a board's functionality once cards and columns alone aren't enough.
