Switching from ClickUp to Trello

Trello has no ClickUp importer. Recreate your lists as Trello boards by hand, since ClickUp’s docs, automations and custom fields have no direct Trello equivalent to bring over.

Switching from ClickUp to TrelloVerified Sep 23, 2026

Quick verdict: Move to Trello if your team only ever used ClickUp’s basic board view and wants a cheaper, simpler tool. You will lose docs, native time tracking, Gantt charts and dashboards, so confirm you are not relying on them first.

Switching Cost & Friction Estimator

Most buyers only budget for the new subscription. This estimates the hidden labor, data-cleanup, and retraining cost of actually making the switch.

Estimate assumes: 1 hour of data-mapping/cleaning labor per 2,000 records, a blended $75/hr ops rate, tiered migration & cleaning tooling fees, and 4 hours of retraining per seat at a $45/hr fully-loaded rate.

    Why teams move from ClickUp to Trello

    Lower per-seat price

    $5 against $7 for ClickUp Unlimited.

    Faster onboarding

    Minimal learning curve for new teammates.

    AI included

    No separate add-on charge, unlike ClickUp’s Brain AI.

    How the migration actually works

    ClickUp’s docs, whiteboards, native time tracking, Gantt charts and dashboards have no Trello equivalent — you will need separate tools for any of these you still need.

    StepWhat you do
    1Export your dataExport tasks, boards or issues from the old tool — CSV export or a native importer, if one exists, both start here.
    2Create your Trello Workspace and boards.Create your Trello Workspace and boards.
    3Rebuild your boardsRecreate ClickUp lists as Trello boards and lists; custom fields, automations, docs and time-tracking data are rebuilt separately or dropped, since Trello has no native equivalent for several of them.
    4Rebuild automations and custom fieldsRecreate any automation rules, custom fields or statuses the import did not carry over.
    5Invite your teamAdd team members and set permissions; confirm everyone can see the projects they need.
    6Run one full project before cancellingKeep both tools live until a full project cycle runs cleanly in the new one, then cancel the old plan.

    What this path doesn’t do for you:

    ClickUp’s all-in-one feature set (docs, time tracking, Gantt charts, dashboards, deep custom fields) has no Trello equivalent — expect to lose these or replace them with separate tools.

    Editorial assessment

    Before you cut over

    • Set up single sign-on in Trello on Any plan with Atlassian Guard Standard (add-on); included in Enterprise before you invite the team, so accounts are created through your identity provider rather than by hand.
    • If you restrict ClickUp to office or VPN IP addresses today, check how you will enforce the same rule in Trello; we found no IP allowlisting documented.
    • ClickUp offers a HIPAA BAA; we found none for Trello. Don’t move protected health information until that is settled.

    Checked September 19, 2026 against each vendor’s own trust center, help docs and app pages. Hover or tap “source” to see the exact wording we relied on. “Not published” means we could not find the vendor saying it on its own site; it doesn’t mean the feature is missing. Plan names are the lowest plan the vendor says includes the feature. Security · Offline · Remote vs office · Download the data

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Does Trello import ClickUp boards?

    No. Recreate lists and cards as Trello boards by hand.

    Will I save money?

    Yes, $2 a seat a month, though you lose ClickUp’s bundled docs, time tracking and dashboards.

    Is AI still included?

    Yes — Trello includes AI on its Standard plan at no extra charge, unlike ClickUp’s paid Brain AI add-on.

    Do custom fields and automations carry over?

    Rarely in full. Simple field types usually map across an import tool where one exists, but automations, custom statuses and integrations are typically rebuilt by hand in the new tool.
