ClickUp vs. Trello in 2026: We Ran the Same Workflows in Both

Disclosure: Bit Integrations publishes this article, a WordPress integration plugin that sends data from form builders, LMS plugins, and WooCommerce stores to apps like ClickUp and Trello.

Trello and ClickUp both manage tasks, and they model the work in different ways. Trello puts each piece of work on a card and moves it across lists on a board.

ClickUp puts work into tasks inside a hierarchy of spaces, folders, and lists, with docs, time tracking, and dashboards in the same workspace.

Choose ClickUp if your work needs subtasks, dependencies, time data, and reporting in one place, and someone on your team will own the setup.

Choose Trello if your work moves through a handful of stages and you want your team using the tool today.

To check that, we built the same five-stage content pipeline in both tools, gave both AI builders the same setup prompt, and imported the Trello board into ClickUp.

And sent test submissions from the same WPForms form into each. Prices and plan limits come from the official Trello and ClickUp pricing page.

How we tested

We ran four workflows in both tools wherever the tool supports them:

• Content pipeline: one project called Blog Content Pipeline with five stages (Ideas, Drafting, Editing, Scheduled, Published), eight article items, two checklists, and start and due dates. In ClickUp, we also added five subtasks and one dependency.
• AI-assisted setup: the same board prompt in Trello’s AI board generator and in ClickUp Brain, plus a longer ClickUp-specific build prompt in Brain.
• Import: our Trello board moved into ClickUp with ClickUp’s Trello importer.
• WordPress intake: test submissions from one WPForms form sent to both tools through Bit Integrations.

ClickUp ran on the Free Forever plan. Trello ran on a 14-day premium free trial, which unlocks premium views and AI. We did not test collaborator caps, storage caps, automation run quotas, or billing. Those figures come from each vendor’s pricing page and are labeled that way below.

What are ClickUp and Trello?

Trello is a Kanban-style work management tool owned by Atlassian. You create a project board, add a list for each stage, and move cards from list to list as work progresses.

Power-Ups add features and connect other apps, and built-in automation runs rules on board events. Trello also includes an inbox to capture to-dos from email, Slack, and Microsoft Teams, plus a planner that syncs with your calendar.

ClickUp is a work management platform that combines tasks, docs, chat, whiteboards, dashboards, and an AI assistant called ClickUp Brain.

Work lives in a hierarchy: a workspace holds spaces, spaces hold folders, folders hold lists, and lists hold tasks and subtasks. Each list can show the same tasks as a board, a list, a calendar, a table, or a Gantt chart.

ClickUp’s Trello importer shows how the two models line up. Our import mapped each Trello object like this:

Trello	Became in ClickUp	Notes
Board	List	ClickUp also created a Space and a Folder above it
List (a stage)	Status	Ideas, Drafting, Editing, Scheduled, Published
Card	Task	All nine cards came across
Checklist	Checklist	Completed items stayed completed

Core approach: stages vs structure

In Trello, the list a card sits in is its stage, so moving the card updates its status. A five-stage pipeline reads at a glance, and the model stays the same however long you use it: a board, its lists, and the cards on them.

In ClickUp, stages are statuses on a task, and the board is one view of a List. The same tasks also appear in List, Calendar, Table, and Gantt views without duplication, and each task can carry subtasks, dependencies, and time entries.

Our pipeline looked almost identical as a board in both tools. The differences appeared once we opened an item.

Bottom line: If a card’s position on the board tells your team what it needs to know, Trello’s model covers the job. If items need their own structure underneath, ClickUp’s model fits.

Ease of use and setup

We didn’t time a manual build, so this section compares the decisions each tool asks you to make.

• Trello: create a board, name your lists, and add cards. Labels, dates, checklists, and members live inside each card and stay out of the way until you need them.
• ClickUp: choose where the work lives (Space, Folder, List), define statuses, and decide which optional features to switch on. ClickUp manages features such as custom fields through settings called ClickApps. In our workspace, ClickUp Brain reported that custom fields were disabled, so it skipped the two custom fields we asked for.

Trello’s board, lists, and cards are visible in the first minute. ClickUp’s extra setup decisions give you more control over how work is structured, reported, and permissioned later.

Bottom line: Trello asks for fewer setup decisions. ClickUp asks for more and gives more control in return.

Task management: cards vs tasks

A Trello card holds a title, the list it belongs to, members, dates, labels, a description, checklists, attachments, and a comments and activity panel. From Standard, checklist items can have their own members and due dates, and custom fields add structured data such as priority.

A ClickUp task holds a status, assignees, start and due dates, relationships, a description, subtasks, checklists, and an activity panel with comments. Each subtask is a task in its own right, with its own status, assignee, and due date. Priority is a built-in field.

In our test, the ClickUp vs Trello comparison task carried five subtasks and blocked the Best WordPress form plugins roundup task. On the Trello card, the same breakdown fits into a checklist named Subtasks.

Trello’s plan comparison doesn’t list dependencies, so we tracked the blocking link in ClickUp only.

Bottom line: Choose Trello if a checklist covers your breakdown. Choose ClickUp if sub-items need their own statuses, dependencies, and history.

Project organization: boards vs. spaces, folders, and lists

Trello groups boards inside a workspace. Standard adds card mirroring, so one card can appear on several boards, and Premium adds collections for grouping boards by team or project. The free plan caps a workspace at 10 boards.

ClickUp adds two layers above the List: Spaces for teams or departments and folders for projects or clients. The free plan allows 5 spaces, and Unlimited removes that cap. Our test workspace hit the space limit (see free plan limits).

Our Trello import created a new space, plus a folder and a list both named Imported From Trello. The board’s single layer became three.

Bottom line: Trello’s flat structure works for a handful of projects. ClickUp’s layers help when several teams or clients share one workspace.

Team collaboration and client access

Both tools keep comments and an activity log beside each item. Beyond that, they take different routes:

• ClickUp includes Docs on every plan, so specs and briefs sit next to tasks. ClickUp Chat comes with unlimited messaging; the free plan offers trial messaging with 30 days of message history. The free plan also includes in-app video recording.
• Trello keeps discussion on the card and connects to the tools where conversation happens. Its Inbox captures to-dos from email, Slack, and Microsoft Teams, and Power-Ups connect apps such as Slack and Google Drive.

Guest access works differently, which matters for agencies and client work:

• Trello: from Standard, you can invite single-board guests. Trello bills any guest on more than one board in a Workspace as a multi-board guest, at the member rate.
• ClickUp: the free plan gives guests full access with no permission controls. Unlimited adds guests with permission controls.

Source: plan details from the Trello pricing page and ClickUp pricing page. We didn’t test guest invitations.

Bottom line: If each client needs one board, Trello Standard’s guest model fits. If clients need access to several projects, compare both guest models before you invite anyone.

Views and dashboards

Trello’s free plan shows your work as a board, plus a view-only planner for your own calendar. Premium adds Calendar, Timeline, Table, Dashboard, and Map views for each board and Workspace-level Table and Calendar views across boards.

ClickUp’s free plan includes Board, List, Calendar, and Table views, and our free workspace also ran Gantt and Dashboard views.

ClickUp lists Gantt charts and dashboards as limited trials on the free plan. Unlimited Gantt charts start on Unlimited, and unlimited dashboards and timeline views start on Business.

View	Trello	ClickUp
Board (Kanban)	All plans	All plans
Table	Premium	All plans
Calendar	Premium (personal Planner: view-only on Free, full from Standard)	All plans
Timeline / Gantt	Timeline on Premium	Gantt: trial on Free, unlimited from Unlimited. Timeline view: unlimited from Business
Dashboard	Premium	Trial on Free and Unlimited, unlimited from Business

Bottom line: For a timeline or calendar on a budget, ClickUp Unlimited at $7 covers Gantt charts, and its free plan covers calendars; Trello needs Premium at $10 for both. If a board is the only view you need, Trello’s free plan covers it.

Automation: Trello rules vs ClickUp automations

Both tools include a no-code automation builder, and both count runs against a monthly quota.

Trello’s automation writes rules as sentences. You pick a trigger, such as a card being added to a board or moved to a list, stack actions, and review the rule before saving.

The same menu holds scheduled commands, due-date commands, and buttons you can add to cards and boards.

ClickUp’s automation builder separates a trigger, optional conditions, and a stack of actions, then summarizes the rule in plain English along the bottom.

Every plan supports multiple conditions and actions. Business and Enterprise add advanced actions: webhooks, email, SMS, and integrations.

Quotas from the Trello pricing page and ClickUp pricing page. We didn’t measure quota use during testing.

One test note: ClickUp Brain could not create our automation rule. It reported that automation controls weren’t available to it, so we built rules in the builder by hand.

Bottom line: Trello Premium and Enterprise include unlimited automation runs, and no ClickUp plan lists unlimited executions. ClickUp’s builder supports multi-condition rules on every plan and outbound webhooks from Business.

AI features: what each tool built from the same prompt

We gave both tools the same prompt: build a board called “Bit Integrations Content Pipeline” with five lists in a set order, eight named cards, a description and two checklists on one card, and nothing else.

Trello’s AI board generator

Trello’s AI board generator takes a plain-language description and builds a private board. On our Premium trial, it produced five lists and eight cards in the requested places.

And the comparison card carried the two checklists with ten items between them. That result is the Trello board shown under the Core approach.

ClickUp Brain

ClickUp Brain proposes a plan, asks you to confirm, and then acts across the workspace. On the free plan, we ran it twice:

• With a ClickUp-specific prompt, Brain created the Space, Folder, and List, a private Doc, eight tasks, five subtasks, a checklist, a tag, a dependency, and six views. It skipped the custom fields because Custom Fields was disabled, couldn’t assign the placeholder teammates because they didn’t exist in the workspace, and couldn’t create the automation rule.
• With the same prompt we gave Trello, Brain read the board as a new Space with five Lists, then stopped. The workspace had reached the free plan’s 5-Space limit, so it created nothing.

The two runs aren’t a like-for-like contest. Trello ran on a Premium trial and ClickUp on its free plan, and Brain works across an existing workspace instead of generating one board.

AI by plan

• Trello: AI features come with Standard, Premium, and Enterprise. Atlassian lists AI features in Trello such as board generation, generated checklists, card merging, and writing help. The free plan doesn’t include AI.
• ClickUp: every plan includes limited AI use. Brain AI ($9 per user per month billed annually, $14 monthly) adds unlimited Brain Assistant and AI writing, AI chat with Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini models, and workspace search.
  
  Everything AI ($28 annually, $33 monthly) adds unlimited AI fields, AI notetaker, and AI automations and dashboards. Both add-ons include AI Super Credits, which pay for agent work. Our free workspace generated the AI Executive Summary card shown in the dashboard above.
• Outside assistants: Trello and ClickUp both publish official MCP servers (Trello, ClickUp) that connect AI assistants such as Claude or ChatGPT to your boards or workspace. We didn’t test either server.

Bottom line: Trello’s AI costs less to reach, since Standard includes it. ClickUp’s AI works across tasks, docs, and dashboards, and unlimited use requires a paid add-on.

Integrations

Trello extends boards with Power-Ups. Every plan allows unlimited Power-Ups per board, and Power-Ups cover apps such as Slack, Google Drive, and Salesforce. Some partner Power-Ups charge their own subscription fee.

ClickUp connects through native integrations such as Slack, HubSpot, and Google Drive, plus Zapier and Make. ClickUp lists unlimited integrations from the Unlimited plan.

Its API allows 100 requests per minute on Free through Business and 10,000 on Enterprise.

Neither tool reacts to events on your website, such as a form submission or a WooCommerce order. The section on connecting ClickUp or Trello to WordPress covers that gap.

Bottom line: List the Power-Ups you’d need, including any with their own fees, before you compare Trello’s seat price with ClickUp’s.

Customization and templates

• Fields: Trello adds custom fields from Standard. ClickUp includes a basic Custom Field Manager on Free with trial use of custom fields, and unlimited custom fields from Unlimited. Priority is a built-in field in ClickUp; in Trello, you add it as a custom field or a label.
• Stages: Trello’s stages are its lists. ClickUp uses custom statuses inside each List, and our import turned each Trello list into a ClickUp status.
• Item types: ClickUp offers custom task types, with trial use on Free.
• Templates: both tools offer template galleries. Trello Premium adds templates shared across a Workspace.

Bottom line: ClickUp gives you more fields and structures to shape. Trello keeps customization to fields, labels, and Power-Ups.

ClickUp vs Trello pricing

Both tools charge per user. Trello’s plans are below; prices are per user per month.

Trello plan	Annual billing	Monthly billing	What it adds
Free	$0	$0	Up to 10 collaborators and 10 boards per Workspace, 250 command runs
Standard	$5	$6	Unlimited boards, AI, custom fields, card mirroring, single-board guests, 1,000 command runs
Premium	$10	$12.50	Calendar, Timeline, Table, Dashboard, and Map views; unlimited command runs; admin and security features
Enterprise	$17.50	Annual only	Unlimited Workspaces, organization-wide permissions, Atlassian Guard Standard included

ClickUp plan	Annual billing	Monthly billing	What it adds
Free Forever	$0	$0	Unlimited members, 60MB storage, 5 Spaces, 100 automation executions
Unlimited	$7	$10	Unlimited storage, Gantt charts, integrations, and custom fields; time tracking; guests with permissions
Business	$12	$19	Unlimited dashboards and Timeline views, 5,000 automation executions, webhooks in automations, Google SSO
Enterprise	Custom	Custom	SAML SSO and SCIM, audit log, HIPAA available, data residency

ClickUp’s AI add-ons cost extra: Brain AI at $9 per user per month billed annually ($14 monthly) and Everything AI at $28 ($33 monthly).

ClickUp shows both add-on prices as discounts from higher list prices, so check the current rate before you budget. ClickUp upgrades apply to the whole Workspace.

And ClickUp also sells a Business Plus plan that doesn’t appear on its public pricing page. On Trello, SAML single sign-on below Enterprise requires Atlassian Guard, a separate subscription that starts at $4 per user per month.

Affordable plan that unlocks each capability

You need	Trello	ClickUp
More than 10 collaborators	Standard, $5	Free
Unlimited boards or Spaces	Standard, $5	Unlimited, $7
Custom fields	Standard, $5	Unlimited, $7 (trial on Free)
A calendar view of a project	Premium, $10	Free
A Gantt or timeline view	Premium, $10 (Timeline)	Unlimited, $7 (Gantt)
Built-in time tracking	Not listed (Power-Ups)	Unlimited, $7 (trial on Free)
Dashboards	Premium, $10	Business, $12 (trial on Free and Unlimited)
Guests with limited access	Standard, $5 (single-board guests)	Unlimited, $7
AI features	Standard, $5	Limited on Free; Brain AI add-on from $9 (annual billing)
Unlimited automation runs	Premium, $10	Not offered (Enterprise lists 250,000)

Monthly cost by team size

Team size	Trello Standard	Trello Premium	ClickUp Unlimited	ClickUp Business
5 people	$25	$50	$35	$60
12 people	$60	$120	$84	$144
25 people	$125	$250	$175	$300

Free plans change the picture at small sizes. Trello Free fits the 5-person team, but not the 12-person team, because of its 10-collaborator cap.

ClickUp Free allows any headcount within its storage and feature limits. Adding Brain AI for 12 users on ClickUp adds $108 a month on annual billing. Figures use annual list prices and exclude taxes, add-ons, and partner Power-Up fees.

Bottom line: At the entry tier, Trello costs less per seat ($5 vs $7). Once you need timeline or calendar views, ClickUp Unlimited costs less than Trello Premium ($7 vs $10).

Free plan limits

Limit	Trello Free	ClickUp Free Forever
People	10 collaborators per Workspace	Unlimited members
Projects	10 boards per Workspace	5 Spaces
Storage	Unlimited, 10MB per file	60MB
Automation	250 command runs per month	5 active rules, 100 executions per month
Views	Board; Planner view-only	Board, List, Calendar, Table; Gantt and dashboards as trials
AI	Not included	Limited use
Forms	Not listed	1 form
Time tracking	Not listed	Trial

Trello’s free plan runs out of people and boards first. ClickUp’s free plan runs out of storage and Spaces first, and several features run as trials.

Our ClickUp workspace hit the 5-Space limit when Brain tried to create a new Space (shown in the AI section).

We couldn’t test Trello’s 10-collaborator cap or ClickUp’s 60MB storage cap, so those figures come from the Trello pricing page and the ClickUp pricing page.

Scalability by team size

• Solo users: Trello Free covers a personal board system, with Inbox on every plan and full Planner access from Standard. ClickUp Free covers solo work within 60MB of storage.
• 2 to 10 people: both free plans fit. Trello’s caps (10 collaborators, 10 boards) and ClickUp’s caps (5 Spaces, 60MB) decide which one lasts longer for your setup.
• 10 to 50 people: Trello needs a paid plan once an eleventh collaborator joins. ClickUp Free still allows the headcount, while unlimited storage, integrations, and guest permissions sit on Unlimited.
• 50 people and up: Trello describes Premium as built for teams of up to 100, and Enterprise adds organization-wide permissions with Atlassian Guard Standard. ClickUp Enterprise adds SAML SSO, SCIM provisioning, audit logs, data residency, and HIPAA availability. Both vendors list SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certifications.

If neither tool fits, our test of five Notion alternatives covers Jira, Asana, and Flowlu alongside ClickUp and Trello.

Which should you choose? Eight scenarios

ClickUp vs Trello for freelancers

You manage a few clients alone and want each client to see progress. Trello Free gives you a board per client within the 10-board cap.

ClickUp Free gives you Docs for briefs and unlimited tasks, and time tracking and guest permissions start on Unlimited.

Best fit: Trello if a status board per client is all you share. ClickUp if you bill by the hour and want time logs next to tasks.

ClickUp vs Trello for small businesses

A team of 5 to 15 runs operations, follow-ups, and admin from one tool, and every seat costs money. Trello Free stops at 10 collaborators, and Standard at $5 per user lifts the cap.

ClickUp Free allows the whole team, and Unlimited at $7 removes the storage and Space limits.

Best fit: Trello if work moves through simple stages. ClickUp if you want docs, tasks, and time in one place and someone owns the setup.

ClickUp vs Trello for agencies

You run many client projects, share progress with clients, and track billable time. Trello Standard lets each client join one board as a single-board guest; clients on several boards bill as members.

ClickUp Unlimited adds guests with permission controls and native time tracking.

Best fit: Trello for one board per client. ClickUp when billable hours and multi-project client access drive the work.

ClickUp vs Trello for content teams

Articles move from idea to draft to edit to publish, which is the pipeline we tested. Trello’s board shows the whole pipeline at a glance, and its Calendar view for publish dates needs Premium.

ClickUp shows the same pipeline as a board and a calendar on the free plan, and Docs keep briefs beside each task.

Best fit: Trello for a visible pipeline with little setup. ClickUp when briefs, subtasks, and publish dates need to live together.

ClickUp vs Trello for WordPress-based businesses

Orders, course enrollments, and form entries start on your site, and someone retypes them into tasks. Neither tool reacts to WordPress events on its own.

ClickUp’s free plan includes one form, and Trello’s Inbox captures email and chat messages, but site events need an integration layer.

Best fit: Pick the project tool for your team’s workflow. The WordPress connection works with either (see the WordPress section below).

ClickUp vs Trello for marketing teams

Campaigns run on deadlines across writers, designers, and channel owners, and leadership wants status reports. Trello Premium adds Timeline and Dashboard views.

ClickUp Unlimited adds unlimited Gantt charts and a HubSpot integration, and Business unlocks unlimited dashboards.

Best fit: Trello if stakeholders read the board. ClickUp if you report from dashboards and connect a CRM.

ClickUp vs Trello for developers

Engineers plan sprints, track bugs, and need estimates. ClickUp includes sprint management on Free and adds sprint points and reporting on Business. Trello’s plans don’t list sprint features, and Atlassian offers Jira for software teams.

Best fit: ClickUp for sprint-based work. Trello for a lightweight bug board.

ClickUp vs Trello for remote teams

People work across time zones and rely on written updates. Trello’s Inbox pulls to-dos from email, Slack, and Microsoft Teams, and the board shows status without a meeting.

ClickUp keeps Chat, Docs, comments, and in-app video recordings beside tasks.

Best fit: Trello if your team works in Slack or Teams. ClickUp if you want discussion and tasks in one tool.

Switching from Trello to ClickUp: what the importer kept

ClickUp includes a Trello importer. We imported our test board and checked the result:

• Structure: ClickUp created a new Space with a Folder and a List, both named Imported From Trello.
• Stages: each Trello list became a ClickUp status (Ideas, Drafting, Editing, Scheduled, Published), alongside ClickUp’s Closed status.
• Cards: all nine cards on the board became tasks.
• Checklists: both checklists arrived as ClickUp checklists with completed items intact (3 of 5 and 4 of 5). Our Trello checklist named Subtasks stayed a checklist; it didn’t become ClickUp subtasks.
• Details: the description and due date carried over to the card we checked.

Our board had no automation rules or Power-Ups to migrate, so check those separately before you switch. We didn’t test a move from ClickUp to Trello. On Trello’s side, CSV export (simple data export) is a Premium feature.

Connecting ClickUp or Trello to WordPress

ClickUp and Trello automate work once it’s inside them. For a WordPress business, much of that work starts somewhere else: a contact form, a WooCommerce order, a course enrollment.

Neither tool sees those events on its own, so someone retypes them or the business adds an integration layer.

The place where the event happens decides the tool:

Where work starts	What should happen	Typical route
WordPress form submission	A task or card with the submitted details	A WordPress integration plugin, the form plugin’s own add-on, or Zapier or Make
WooCommerce order or LMS enrollment	A fulfillment or onboarding task	A WordPress integration plugin, or Zapier or Make
Email or chat message	A card or task from the message	Trello Inbox (email, Slack, Microsoft Teams); ClickUp’s email and Slack integrations
CRM deal or other SaaS event	A kickoff task	A native integration such as ClickUp’s HubSpot integration, or Zapier or Make

For SaaS-to-SaaS workflows, our comparison of Zapier alternatives covers the automation platforms.

For events that start on WordPress, we tested Bit Integrations, the WordPress integration plugin behind this blog, with test submissions from one WPForms form:

• ClickUp action: the Create Task action asks for the Team, Space, Folder, and List, then maps form fields to the task name, description, and custom fields. An Add Attachment option sends uploaded files to the task.
• Trello action: you choose the board and list, map a form field to the card name, write the card description in Markdown with form values inserted, and map custom fields. An option sets the card’s position in the list.
• Results: the Trello card appeared in the Ideas list with the submitted title and description. The ClickUp task appeared under an Open status group rather than Ideas, so check which status new tasks receive in your List before you go live.

Bit Integrations sends data one way, from WordPress any plugins to ClickUp or Trello.

It doesn’t pull updates back into WordPress, and it doesn’t replace the automations inside each tool; any rule that fires when the new item arrives still counts toward that tool’s automation quota.

Conditional logic lets you create items only for submissions that match your rules. Setup steps are in the ClickUp integration guide and the Trello integration guide.

And our ClickUp and Asana integrations for WordPress article covers more trigger ideas for forms, stores, and courses.

Final verdict

Neither tool wins for every team, because they fit different shapes of work.

Trello fits work that moves: a request, a draft, an order, each passing through a fixed set of stages. The board shows the state of everything at once, setup takes a few decisions, and Standard at $5 covers most of what a small team needs.

ClickUp fits work that nests: projects with subtasks, dependencies, time logs, docs, and reports. It asks for more setup and gives each layer of that structure a place in one workspace, starting from a free plan with no member cap.

Before you choose, ask whether your work moves or nests. If Asana is also on your shortlist, read our ClickUp vs Asana comparison.
