Hello, community team!

I am a bit concerned about the number of Powerup vendors who seem to conceal that their product isn't free... You often discover after adding the item, connecting it to your board, and attempting to use it... get prompted to purchase a license.  There is no clear and unambiguous disclosure at the top/filter level: free or not.

I would like to suggest adding this disclosure on the powerup browse page as an improvement, however...  I do not see how to suggest this.

What is the best way to suggest an improvement to Trello?  All the paths I have found thus far go to someone's public Trello board (nothing official looking), or a web page explaining "we are working on important stuff now, not suggestions... so if you have a support issue instead..."  Where can users suggest improvements, as with Jira?

Thanks for any relevant replies!

@Bill Sheboy I don't think they're taking much in the way of feature requests at the moment, but I'll share this post in their Slack channel FWIW

I think it’s safe to assume that any Power-Up that wasn’t written by Trello or is an obvious integration to another service (Slack, Dropbox, etc) is going to be a paid add on. 

Your point is still valid though and a good request. Thanks for taking the time to share it.
