The right amount of tool

We track our hiring pipeline on the free tier. Candidates move across the board, everyone sees where things stand, and it costs nothing. A dedicated recruiting tool would cost hundreds a month to do the same job worse.

Pros

The free tier has unlimited cards and is genuinely usable.

Cons

There is no meaningful cross project reporting.

Pros

Perfect for a defined flow: hiring, a content calendar, a punch list.

Free tier runs our whole hiring pipeline

It is deliberately simple and that is why it works. Every time I have been tempted by something more powerful I remember that people actually use this one.

Pros

Power-Ups extend it without complicating the core.

Cons

Boards past roughly 200 cards become hard to navigate.

Simple by design, so it stops where you would expect

It does not do reporting across projects and it does not do dependencies. Those are not oversights, they are the product's position. If you need them, this is the wrong tool and no Power-Up will really fix it.

Pros

Perfect for a defined flow: hiring, a content calendar, a punch list.

Cons

There is no meaningful cross project reporting.

Hit the 10 collaborator limit and had to pay

The free workspace caps at 10 collaborators and we grew past it mid project. Suddenly a tool we had built a process around needed a real budget line. The limit is documented, it just arrives at the worst moment. Plan for it rather than discovering it.

Pros

Perfect for a defined flow: hiring, a content calendar, a punch list.

Cons

It will not scale with a growing team, and you will have to move.

Simple by design, so it stops where you would expect

Once a board passes about 200 cards, finding anything is a chore and the board becomes a wall. That is the moment to move to something else rather than fight it.

Cons

Automation runs are capped on lower tiers.

I introduced it on a Tuesday and the warehouse team was using it correctly by Thursday. No training session, no manual. For a team that had rejected every previous tool, that is the entire review.
