Trello Limits Teams on Free Tier To 10 Boards, Rolls Out Enterprise Automations and Admin Controls (venturebeat.com)
In this week's episode of which popular service will reduce its offerings to the non-paying users, Trello said it will have a go. From a report: Trello, a Kanban-inspired project management app organized around the idea of boards containing cards with attachments, to-do items, and comments, is getting a few much-needed improvements. Today, the Trello team announced that Trello Enterprise, a corporate-class subscription tier launched in 2015, will gain 13 new features this week, including improved admin controls, a new visibility setting, and compliance certifications.
It's the largest product update in Trello Enterprise's history, the Atlassian subsidiary says, but it's a tad bittersweet -- a new restriction will be imposed on teams that use the free version of Trello. Moving forward, they'll be limited to a maximum of 10 open boards at any given time. (Enterprise and Trello Business Class users get unlimited boards, and existing free teams will be able to add up to 10 additional boards until May 1, 2019.) Last week, it was Dropbox that introduced some limits to its non-paying users.

You're doing it wrong. Using Trello, if you can't see everything that's going on at a glance, either your project is too big / complex for Trello or you're doing it wrong.
I have to wonder what general, dull, zero-reading-required misconceptions Kendall will blurt out as if inventing the wheel and/or fire here?
Wow, he sure lives in your head rent-free, doesn't he?
You mean to say (s?)he spams this board with his inane illiterate-grade retard shit instead of getting himself a job, forcing everyone who can read (ironic!) to suffer through his ignorant egotist's need to self-involve in every story like he knows shit about it, which, if you actually unfortunately do find yourself reading them, you will see is not the case on any level whatsoever. It's like Shanghai Bill if Bill didn't even know how to plausibly make things up and pass them along as fact, it's that level of verbose "look at me" spam. I can't imagine you've been able to avoid it, so the other likelihood... = you are Kendall, the incel propaganda nazi from Colorado who still hasn't gotten a job.
If I had mod points, I'd upvote this.
And if Kendall had a job, he'd be at work now. Mores the pity. Cut your losses : Learn to read, you blathering incel Kendall. Your lazy armchair "the 737 max is totally safe, I swear guyyyyys!" bullshit needs to die out.
You're too dumb and you don't matter. Fix the illiteracy and you'll be 10000% more useful to slashdot, Ken Doll. Until then you're just another trash fire moron fanning your own garbage fumes and getting high off yourself.
Just wondering ... is anyone actually shocked that there might eventually be some limits on, you know, free stuff?
Surely you didn't think their business model was really going to be "we give you as much cool free stuff as you need forever"?
Never heard of it.
Slashdot has become CNET.
Harrison's Postulate - "For every action there is an equal and opposite criticism"
It's going to be interesting seeing what happens to all these tool and service vendors. The accepted business model for almost all of them appears to be as follows:
- Develop cool new tool, release it as open source
- Let people download and use it as much as they want, calling that "ToolX Open Source"
- Host it, and make it free for 5 or 10 users/instances/whatever, calling that "ToolX Free Tier"
- Charge for support and/or more features/users/instances/whatever, calling that "ToolX Enterprise"
- Hang on as long as you can until Microsoft, Amazon, Google or Atlassian buy you or you IPO
For anyone who wasn't around during the First Dotcom Bubble, back in 1999 companies were losing massive amounts of money giving away money or products in the name of "eyeballs" and it was thought they'd make it up in volume. Trello's a little different in that it's a service and not a tool...but some of the same principles apply. They want to get bought and merged into GitHub or Jira, and it seems like the vendors of these little "glue" services are in a good position to have that happen. They just have to give enough of the product away to generate critical mass or get picked up by a unicorn startup on the way up.
What will be interesting to see is how many companies pick up these tools on the free or open source tier and buy extras as they grow. If it's a lot...then IPO and your founders are billionaires. If it's a few...then you become Microsoft employees and your founders are billionaires. What could possibly go wrong? :-)
Seriously, can you ACs stop spamming about Kendall. I see 20 times the amount of these comments than any actual comment from the person you're talking about. Please stop the gossip and talk about the story, or this is just completely hypocritical. Or at least have the balls to post this with your user name.
