India pricing

Trello Standard costs $5 per user per month with annual billing, or $6 with monthly billing. Premium is $10 with annual billing, or $12.50 monthly. These are the public USD prices checked on November 10, 2026, rather than an INR quote. Standard and Premium bill for Workspace members and guests who use more than one board in that Workspace. Include those guests when counting your team cost.

Public USD comparison prices. No official INR quote or checkout taxes verified.

Count collaborators in each Workspace

Free allows up to ten collaborators and ten boards per Workspace. The examples below have 12 billable users in one paid Workspace.

Standard and Premium bill for Workspace members, including admins, and multi-board guests at the same rate. A guest on just one board in the Workspace is free. Each upgraded Workspace is billed separately, so someone in two paid Workspaces can be billed twice.

Standard adds unlimited boards. Choose Premium for Timeline and Dashboard views.

Some partner Power-Ups have their own subscription.

Enterprise displays $17.50 per user per month with annual billing, or $210 per user per year. The applicable user range, minimum seats, and tier quote have not been verified. No Enterprise example is supplied.

Worked buying scenarios

Amounts below are calculated base costs or monthly equivalents, not checkout quotes.

Examples exclude applicable taxes, card conversion charges and fees, optional products, and special discounts. Confirm the price and payment term in your vendor quote.

10 members and 2 multi-board client guests. This example uses one Workspace and needs unlimited boards, without Premium views. 10 Workspace members + 2 multi-board guests = 12 billable users. 12 × $5.00 = $60.00 monthly equivalent. $60.00 × 12 = $720.00 annual base commitment.

Same collaborators on monthly Standard. The same 12 billable users choose monthly Standard in one Workspace. 10 Workspace members + 2 multi-board guests = 12 billable users. 12 × $6.00 = $72.00 per month on monthly billing.

Before you choose

Count members and multi-board guests in each Workspace you plan to upgrade.
Check whether Standard's unlimited boards are enough or you need Premium's Timeline and Dashboard views.
Include any separate subscriptions for partner Power-Ups.

Where Trakkar fits

Trakkar Premium includes time tracking, attendance, leave, and GST invoicing. Every user gets every module, with no tiers or add-ons. The India list-price equivalent is ₹120 per user per month + GST. Payment is prepaid for six months at 5% off or 12 months at 10% off. There is no monthly billing or auto-renewing subscription. For ten users, you pay ₹6,840 + GST upfront for six months, or ₹12,960 + GST for 12 months. There is no minimum seat count. The 14-day trial needs no card, and Trakkar is used by 100+ teams. These rupee totals are shown separately from the competitor's dollar prices. No currency conversion or savings percentage is used.

Trello may suit a team that organizes its work on boards and needs Premium's extra views. Compare Trakkar if you also need attendance, leave, and GST invoicing.

Detailed comparison by topic

One platform instead of a stack

Built for Indian billing: client GSTIN on invoices, the tax rate you pick, invoice numbers that restart each Indian financial year, TDS recorded at payment, India holiday presets, and your own custom holidays.

Trello covers one slice of the workflow. Trakkar bundles time tracking with screenshots, projects, attendance and leave, invoicing, and a client portal in a single per-user price. GST invoices and quotations are created in Trakkar too, so there is no separate invoicing tool to buy.

Feature depth & tool consolidation

One dashboard replaces a time tracker, attendance system, leave manager, invoicing tool, and client portal. Tasks run on a Kanban board, where you drag cards between your own status columns, and a timeline (Gantt-style) view shows tasks by project. Each project can have its own workflow, with your own statuses and the moves you allow between them, plus ready-made HR automations. The async daily standup fills itself in from yesterday's tasks and time. For people changes, there are onboarding and offboarding checklists, and when someone leaves, their work is handed over to a colleague.

Trello uses kanban boards, lists, and cards for simple project visualization. Atlassian owns it, with Power-Ups extending functionality. Teams using Trello often maintain a separate stack for billing and HR.

Onboarding & switching

Self-serve signup at web.trakkar.in with a 14-day free trial, no credit card needed. Import your clients from Excel or CSV, invite your team by email or invite link, and set up leave types, shifts, and screenshot policies. Book a demo at trakkar.in/demo to see how it compares with Trello.

Trello onboarding varies by plan tier. Enterprise plans may require sales calls and longer implementation, especially for PSA tools like Scoro or Kantata.
