| Which plan to pick | Beginner is fine until you hit the five-project wall. Pro on the yearly plan is the obvious move after that. Business is for teams who want a shared space; it is not a substitute for a real project tool. | Free is enough for personal use. Small teams that want AI and unlimited boards should take Standard. Go to Premium only if you need calendar or timeline views. | Free tells you within a day whether talking suits you. If you hit the weekly cap, which most people do fast, Pro on the yearly plan is the one. Growth is only about security paperwork. |
