Weenvo as a Free Alternative to Trello
In its basic setup, Trello covers only part of team work management, primarily through visual task management with boards. As additional needs emerge, teams often extend the system with external tools and services, such as:
– separate solutions for documentation and knowledge management
– third-party time tracking services
– tools for running meetings and recording decisions
– forms for collecting feedback
– additional Power-Ups to extend board functionality
As a result, the workflow can become fragmented into a set of separate services that need to be maintained and kept in sync.
The Weenvo Approach
Weenvo follows a different approach. Instead of using separate tools for different requirements, it brings key team processes together in one system. A single product provides:
– Project Management and Task Management
– Time Tracking
– Meetings, including agendas and decisions
– Forms and Surveys
Weenvo also uses Workspaces, separate areas within the system that help structure the organisation’s work. Workspaces can be configured for different levels of the organisation: departments, teams, projects, as well as separate working areas for clients, contractors and freelancers. Each Workspace can have its own logo, icon and colour scheme, making different working areas easier to distinguish and helping users navigate the structure of the system.
Weenvo includes Wikipedia and Project Documentation for storing articles and instructions, preserving organisational knowledge and documenting team processes. Access to content can be configured separately for users and teams. This makes it possible to control information visibility across the organisation and restrict access to specific sections when required.
The system also supports multiple languages, making it suitable for international teams working across different language versions of the interface.
What Is Included in Weenvo Free but Not in Trello Free
The table below compares capabilities included in the Weenvo Free plan that are not available in Trello Free. Weenvo provides its full feature set across all plans, with limits applying to the number of users, storage and certain history periods. Trello Free, by comparison, includes unlimited cards and up to 10 boards per Workspace, while features such as unlimited boards, Custom Fields and advanced View Options are available on paid plans.

How Much Does the Full Setup Cost?
Using Trello on its own does not cover the full workflow of a team in many cases. Basic task management may need to be supplemented with external tools for documentation, time tracking and other processes. This creates a combination of several services, each with its own subscription. The difference becomes more significant when moving beyond free plans and looking at the total cost of the setup.
With Weenvo, the core workplace tools are built into a single system and available as part of one product.
The calculation below shows the estimated total cost for a team of 30 employees.
| Cost for 30 users | Trello + Confluence + Everhour | Weenvo |
| Per month | ≈ €485 | €300 |
| Per year | ≈ €5,822 | ≈ €3,060 |
Calculation is based on the public prices of Trello Standard, Confluence Standard and Everhour Team for a team of 30 users. Trello, Confluence and Everhour prices are published in USD and converted to EUR using the ECB reference exchange rate of 21 August 2026 (EUR 1 = USD 1.1699). Annual billing discounts are included where applicable. Weenvo Standard is priced at €10 per user per month, with a 15% discount for annual billing. The final cost may vary depending on taxes, billing conditions and changes to the providers’ pricing.
Conclusion
Trello remains a convenient tool for basic task management and visualising workflows, but companies may need to use it alongside tools such as Everhour or Harvest, Google Drive, Google Forms, Google Calendar and Miro.
Weenvo provides a more complete alternative to Trello and a collection of additional services: even the Free plan includes a broad set of tools for organising team work within one platform.
