Compare Premium or Standard in one Trello Workspace, with everyone counted as a billable member. Single-board guests can be free; multi-board guests are billable. Other Workspaces, paid Power-Ups and taxes are excluded. Annual figures show the monthly equivalent of the yearly payment. Free may be enough for smaller teams. Pricing sources.

Why choose Aqtos instead of Trello?
Choose Aqtos when your board is only part of the job: you also manage clients, employee records, time, invoices and expenses. BOSS* brings these together. If a simple board covers your needs, Trello may already be a good fit.
Does Trello have AI and MCP too?
Yes. Trello offers AI features and an official MCP server. The difference to explore is the business context available to your AI: BOSS* connects supported project, people, time and finance records in one workspace.
Is Aqtos cheaper than Trello?
Not for every team. Trello offers Free and lower-priced paid plans. Compare Standard or Premium with Aqtos BOSS* in the calculator, then add the other services your team needs. BOSS* is $10 per user monthly or $96 per user paid annually, minimum five users.
How does the Trello price calculator count people?
It assumes everyone is a billable member in one paid Trello Workspace. Single-board guests can be free; multi-board guests are billable. Multiple paid Workspaces and partner subscriptions can change your total. Each billable person counts as one seat.
What can I bring over from Trello?
The documented Aqtos task import covers titles, descriptions, checklists and statuses. Try one board first. Check owners, dates, attachments, comments, custom fields and list mappings separately. Do not assume Power-Ups or automation rules move with your cards.
Can you help us move our boards?
Yes. Bring a representative board and your current workflow to a demo. Teams of more than 10 people can get a free import consultation to plan the move and confirm what needs to transfer.
