Trello Premium Plan Inquiry – User Licensing Question

Question

Dear

I am interested in purchasing a Trello Premium plan for my company, but I need some clarification regarding the licensing terms before I proceed.

Specifically, I would like to understand how user access works. If I purchase a single Premium account, will I be able to create an unlimited number of boards and invite all of my employees to collaborate on those boards?

The critical question is: Do the people I invite (my employees) need to have their own individual Premium licenses to view, edit, and create cards on the boards I own, or can they participate fully using their own free accounts once they are invited to a Premium workspace?

My goal is to create a collaborative space for my entire team. However, purchasing an individual license for each employee is currently not within my budget. I want to ensure that buying a single Premium account will allow me to invite all my staff to work within the boards I create without requiring them to upgrade.

Thank you for your help.

Best regards,

Technically you can.

I checked documentation - https://support.atlassian.com/trello/docs/board-guests/

You can have a premium workspace and add non-premium users to his boards, as long as each person is only on one board in his workspace and they're not added as a workspace member. The moment that person gets added to a second board, they become a multi-board guest and start costing money.

This is a workable solution if his use case is something like: "I have one main project board and I want my staff to collaborate on it." But if he needs people across multiple boards, then he's back to paying per user.

So there is no way with premium account  to have non premium user added to my board ?

Hey @Radosław Peliński

The people you invite to your workspace, also receive premium license and it's getting billed.

There's two options, that i could tell suggest:

A) Use cheaper plan trello "Standard" which has most features of premium plan.

B)  Use Free plan which allows to have up to 10 collaborators in workspace.
