The Trello alternative that includes the views Trello charges for

Trello Premium costs $10 per user per month before you see a Timeline. Akievo gives you every view, an AI planner, and Trello board import on a single flat account price.

Why people look for a Trello alternative

These are the limits teams run into most often. None of them make Trello a bad tool — they just aren't a good fit for everyone.

Views sit behind Premium

Calendar, Timeline, Table, Dashboard and Map views all require Trello Premium at $10 per user per month billed annually. On the free plan you get boards and nothing else.

10 boards per Workspace on free

Trello's free plan caps you at 10 boards per Workspace and 10 collaborators, which most teams hit within a few months.

You pay per person, twice over

Every Workspace member and multi-board guest is billable, so someone who works across two paid Workspaces gets charged twice.

No planning intelligence

Trello organises cards you have already thought of. It won't turn a goal into a structured plan with tasks, dates and dependencies.

Trello alternative FAQs

Is there a free Trello alternative?

Akievo has a free plan with one board and one workspace, which is enough to see how it works. Paid plans start at $5 a month for the whole account rather than per person, so a small team pays less than a single Trello Premium seat.

Can I import my Trello boards into Akievo?

Yes. Akievo accepts Trello's native JSON export, bringing over lists, cards, labels, checklists, due dates and attachments references. Most boards import in under a minute.

Does Akievo have Timeline and Calendar views like Trello Premium?

Yes, and they are included on every paid plan from $5 a month. Trello puts Calendar, Timeline, Table and Dashboard views on Premium at $10 per user per month.

What does Akievo do that Trello can't?

Akievo builds the plan. Describe a goal and it generates lists, tasks, due dates and dependencies for you. It also exposes a dependencies graph, a critical path, an Eisenhower matrix, and lets you run your boards from ChatGPT or your own AI agents.

Is Akievo cheaper than Trello for a team of five?

Yes. Five Trello Premium seats cost $50 a month on annual billing. Akievo Pro covers five members for $12 a month.
