Trello starts at $5/user/month, but can be scaled up for different levels including Premium and Enterprise. Essentially, we’ve found Trello to be a great way to collaborate with team members. The use of Trello cards allows the team to add comments, members, and documents. In short, Trello is a professional package with high levels of security and the ability to integrate well with applications such as JIRA Cloud, Google Drive, and Slack for increased team collaboration and efficiency.
