Trello's pricing page is four cards. Free covers up to 10 collaborators per Workspace with unlimited cards, up to 10 boards, unlimited Power-Ups, unlimited activity log, 10 MB per file and 250 workspace command runs a month. Standard is $5 per user a month billed annually, or $6 billed monthly, and adds unlimited boards, AI features, card mirroring, custom fields, 250 MB per file and 1,000 command runs. Premium is $10 annually or $12.50 monthly, aimed at teams up to 100, and adds calendar, timeline, table, dashboard and map views, workspace templates, collections, observers, simple data export and admin controls. Enterprise is $17.50 per user a month billed annually, $210 per user a year, and includes Atlassian Guard Standard with free SSO and user provisioning; additional Guard seats start at $4 a month per user.
TL;DR
Trello is a board: Free for up to 10 collaborators, Standard at $5, Premium at $10 and Enterprise at $17.50 per user a month billed annually. Wrike is a delivery system: Free for essential task management, Team at $10 for 2 to 15 users, Business at $25 for 5 to 200 users, and Pinnacle and Apex by quote, all billed annually per user. Trello costs less and asks less; Wrike answers questions about capacity, dates and proofing that Trello never tries to ask.
Wrike's pricing page opens with a free workspace for essential task management and a 14-day trial with no card, then Team at $10 per user a month for 2 to 15 users, Business at $25 for 5 to 200 users, and two quoted tiers, Pinnacle for complex workflows with capacity planning and forecasting, and Apex above it with unlimited whiteboards and Wrike Integrate. Listed prices are per month billed annually per user. The Whiteboard add-on is $15 per user a month where it is not already included, and Wrike separates full users, who need a paid seat, from limited users at a reduced rate and free viewers.
Both tools put cards on a board, and that is where the overlap ends. Trello's model is deliberately small: lists, cards, labels, due dates, Power-Ups and automation command runs, with reporting that stays at board and workspace level. Wrike's model is a project with tasks, where a task carries an owner, a place in a Gantt timeline, proofing and approval history, time tracked against it, and a line in a workload chart. A team that only needs to see what is moving this week will find Wrike heavy; a team that must answer who is overbooked next month will find Trello shallow.

Pick Trello if
Trello is the right tool when work is a queue of cards that people pull, move and finish. At $5 per user a month billed annually you get unlimited boards and cards with AI features, the free plan covers ten collaborators, and Enterprise at $17.50 buys SSO and Guard rather than extra project machinery. It stops where the questions change: nobody asks about capacity, proofing or cross-project timelines because those were never part of the design.
Pick Wrike if
Wrike earns its higher price by answering operational questions: what is slipping, who is overbooked, where the approval is stuck, how many hours went in. Team at $10 per user a month covers up to 15 people and already carries Gantt charts, request forms and dashboards; Business at $25 adds AI Elite and the broader integration set. Budget for full seats for everyone who edits and for quoted tiers once capacity planning is required.
No independent reviews, ratings or user quotes were gathered for this pair. The cards above repeat vendor-published positioning from each company's own site.
Trello Standard is $5 per user a month billed annually against Wrike Team at $10, and Trello Premium at $10 sits below Wrike Business at $25. Trello Enterprise at $17.50 is still under Wrike Business. The comparison only holds if you ignore the features Wrike includes by default, such as resource management, request forms and time tracking.
Trello's free plan covers up to 10 collaborators per Workspace with up to 10 boards and unlimited cards, and it is a real tier rather than a countdown. Wrike keeps a $0 workspace for essential task management plus a 14-day trial of the paid plans. Trello's free tier is roomier for people; Wrike's is broader in what a task can do.
Wrike. Resource management for balancing team workloads and capacity is on its feature list, and capacity planning sits on the quoted Pinnacle tier. Trello's views reach calendar, timeline, table, dashboard and map at Premium, but there is no workload or portfolio view anywhere in its plan list.
Trello Enterprise, $17.50 per user a month billed annually, brings Atlassian Guard Standard, free SSO and user provisioning, organisation-visible boards and attachment permissions. Wrike's Pinnacle and Apex are priced on request and add capacity planning, forecasting, higher AI Elite allowances, unlimited whiteboards and Wrike Integrate. Trello's is a security and administration purchase; Wrike's is a functionality purchase.
Trello meters workspace command runs: 250 a month on Free, 1,000 on Standard, unlimited on Premium. Wrike uses custom automation rules with limits that step up by plan, and its Enterprise-class allowances sit on quoted tiers. Both are generous for light use; heavy cross-project automation belongs in Wrike or in a dedicated integration tool.
