Where they differ
- Cheapest way in: Trello at $6/mo, against Todoist at $7/mo. That is the entry price in this market on the dates shown, not a judgement about which suits you.
- Free plans: both publish one — a plan priced at zero, not a trial. What each caps differs.
- How far each ladder goes: Todoist tops out at $7/mo, Trello at $12.5/mo. A deeper ladder is not a worse deal — it is a bill that keeps climbing if you keep growing.
How to choose in this category
- Nearly everything here is per seat — multiply by the team before comparing.
- Free tiers cap different things: seats on some tools, features on others. Check which.
- Billed-monthly rates sit above the advertised annual-billed figures.
