Upgrade to paid
Asked by Franklin Tseng:

I am looking into upgrading and I found out that the monthly fee apply to each workspace rather than myself as a user. I have several workspaces set up on free Trello and enjoy using the functionality but now upon upgrading, I need to upgrade several workspaces.

Basically I have workspaces set up for three different countries. If fee applies to only 1 workspace per monthly charge, then I will have to combine the workspaces which makes it messy.

Please help.

Franklin

I'm Felipe, Nice to meet you :)

Firstly, as you reported, rather than upgrading one user at a time, you'll upgrade the entire workspace to Premium. Additionally, [Trello Premium](https://trello.com/business-class) includes privacy controls and other administrative tools that are helpful to businesses that want to take greater control of their boards and data. You can check the [Premium User Guide](https://help.trello.com/article/714-business-class-user-guide) for more information about the subscription's individual features and you also can sign up for a Premium Free trial here: <https://trello.com/free-trial>.

Also, since you have Workspaces for each country, you can organize multiple boards using the "Collections" feature. In Business Class there is a way to group or categorize boards within the Business Class team. This could, for example, be used to group boards by project or department. Here is a quick video grab of how collections work: <https://share.getcloudapp.com/6quz8DAk> The following articles should help with this: [Creating collections for Premium](https://support.atlassian.com/trello/docs/creating-collections-for-premium-workspaces/)

Thanks for your answer. I am quite confused by the billings. I have read it and still do not understand.

I am a small business with not too many people that need to manage. Before I subscribe, board member already asked what if Trello goes down, where will the data be backed up? Can I export the data so that I do not have to do it all over again having to switch to another app.

I am confused about what I will actually have to pay. I have basically 3 workspaces with different people to share the workspace because of different property management companies.

Members include staff of the property management companies which can be quite a lot of people. from reading the instructions, once I pay for standard or premium, then every one of the members need to pay also?
