Do you still need Trello?

Trello starts at $5/seat/mo (verified price). Here's which parts of it the tools you already pay for can handle, which parts they can't, and how to switch safely.

Personal check

1. What do you use Trello for?

Pick only what you actually do. This changes the answer more than anything else.

2. What else do you already pay for?
3. What you pay today

What could replace each part of Trello

Best alternatives for each thing it does, before considering what you own.

When you should keep Trello

  • Boards, Power-Ups and Butler automations set up around a team's flow

We'd rather you keep paying than switch to something that makes your work worse.

Common questions

Can ChatGPT replace Trello?
Not really. ChatGPT doesn't cover the core things people use Trello for.
Can Claude replace Trello?
Not really. Claude doesn't cover the core things people use Trello for.
Can Google Gemini replace Trello?
Not really. Google Gemini doesn't cover the core things people use Trello for.
Can Google Workspace replace Trello?
Partly. Google Workspace handles none of its core uses fully; it only partly covers automate simple app-to-app workflows and build dashboards from spreadsheets and data; it doesn't do manage projects and tasks. Whether you can switch depends on which of these you actually use.
How much would I save?
Your Trello cost minus any extra you'd pay elsewhere — usually $0 if the replacement is something you already own. Use the check above with your real cost, or run a full audit so overlapping tools aren't double-counted.
