Trello alternative · $7 per user / mo (Unlimited)
Looking for a free Trello alternative?
Trello's free tier caps you at 10 boards and zero automations. OpenLoad's Kanban is unlimited boards + per-card automations + a Claude 4.5 Copilot that can spin up a full board in one prompt. Plus you get a Database editor (Trello's missing tool), Mind Maps, Whiteboards, Forms and Docs in the same workspace.
The math: Trello Premium for a 5-person team is $600/yr. OpenLoad is $0 with unlimited boards and AI.

From people who made the switch
Real switchers, real savings.
“We hit Trello's 10-board limit fast. OpenLoad's Kanban is unlimited and the AI builder spins up a full board from one prompt — saved us hours of setup.”

“Switched from Trello Premium to OpenLoad. $600/yr team bill → $0. Same kanban workflow, more powerful automations.”
