Starting prices of the priced products in the same category, cheapest first. This is a price sort, not a ranking: the cheapest product is not the best one, and some are priced per user, some per month and some excluding VAT.
Bar lengths use a square root scale, so a very high price does not flatten the rest. The figures are exact.
The middle starting price of the paid products here is R170.
A dot is one plan. Free plans and plans on request have no price to place. A per user price is the price of one user.
A founding year says how long a company has existed. It says nothing about how good the product is.

Trello organises work as cards on boards. The free plan allows up to ten boards per workspace and ten collaborators, with 10 megabytes of file storage and 250 workspace command runs a month. Standard adds unlimited boards, card mirroring, more automation with 1,000 command runs a month, 250 megabytes of file storage and AI capture. Premium adds five views, which are Calendar, Timeline, Table, Dashboard and Map, unlimited command runs, workspace level templates and admin controls. Enterprise adds unlimited workspaces, organisation wide permissions and single sign on with Atlassian Guard, plus round the clock support.
The page mentions no South African support or billing details. Round the clock support is listed only for Enterprise.
It is a lightweight tool by design, so complex projects with dependencies and resource plans will outgrow it. Views and unlimited automation sit on Premium.
Against ClickUp, Trello is far simpler and cheaper per user at the entry level. See the full comparison.
