FindThatSoftware verdictEditorial ruling
Ideal for individuals and small teams that want dead-simple visual task boards with minimal setup. It's intentionally lightweight, so complex projects with dependencies and reporting need a heavier tool. Verify current pricing if you need advanced views and automation.

Should you use Trello?
Use it if individuals and small teams. Avoid it if teams under 50 people who need Enterprise controls, because the 50 seat minimum makes that tier unbuyable and Premium becomes the ceiling.

Trello is a commerce & operations / project management for Indian buyers. All-in it runs about ₹496/mo for a GST-registered business ($5/user/mo sticker plus about 3.5% card forex). It does not issue an India GST invoice, so a registered business reclaims the GST via reverse charge. FindThatSoftware rates it best for individuals and small teams, and a poor fit if teams under 50 people who need Enterprise controls, because the 50 seat minimum makes that tier unbuyable and Premium becomes the ceiling.
The trade-off, weighed
What you gain, and what you give up.
The case for
- The free plan gives unlimited cards and 10 boards per workspace, which is enough to run a small project without spending anything
- Standard at $5 per user billed yearly removes the board cap, raises attachments to 250MB and lifts automation runs to 1,000 a month
- Prices for Free, Standard, Premium and Enterprise are published per user for both monthly and annual billing
The catch
- Free workspaces were capped at 10 collaborators in 2024, so growing past ten people forces a paid plan regardless of actual usage
- Automation runs are limited to 250 a month on Free and 1,000 on Standard, counted across the workspace rather than per board
- Enterprise carries a 50 seat minimum at $17.50 per user a month billed yearly, so the entry ticket is about $10,500 a year
- Attachments are capped at 10MB per file on the free plan, which rules out sharing design files or recordings without another tool

Does Trello give a GST invoice in India?
Trello does not issue an India GST invoice. A GST-registered business can still reclaim the 18% through the reverse-charge route by raising a self-invoice, but there is no vendor GST invoice to claim against directly.
Is Trello good for Indian small businesses?
Trello can work for Indian buyers, but check currency, tax, billing, support, and whether the workflow justifies foreign-currency pricing.
Does Trello have a free plan?
Trello lists a free plan, but check the official pricing page for current usage limits before choosing it.
