# Trello vs Notion

The clearest difference is rating: Notion at 4.8 against Trello's 4.3. Notion also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 weeks) and ratings volume (90K vs 7K). Trello's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6). On price, review sentiment, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Notion sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Trello asks for nothing beyond the download.

Notion holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Notion has 90K ratings behind it against 7K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 53% of Trello's written reviews are positive against 55% of Notion's.

Trello ships an update every 2 weeks, Notion every 3 days. Both last shipped on September 30, 2026.
