The 9 closest of 14, each with its real monthly cost at 5 users and what it does that Asana does not. See all 15.
ClickUp does everything we verified about Asana for $67.45 a month less at 5 users, $0 against $67.45. It is a price cut rather than an upgrade: on the two features checked against the vendors’ own pricing pages the two are level. The trade: Asana is built for the one most teams know and growing into portfolios and governance and ClickUp is not, so this is a swap with a cost.
Not for a small free team or a tight budget: the free plan stops at 2 seats, paid plans are among the dearest per user here, and AI requests are billed on top of the seat price.
It runs $67.45 a month at 5 users with the add-ons it forces on you included. 14 of the 14 alternatives to Asana cost less than that.
Ranked by how much of what we record for Asana each platform also does. ClickUp is the nearest, and it is $67.45 a month cheaper at 5 users. On every feature this site records, the two are level.

Everything this site records for Asana is also recorded for these, and they cost less at 5 users. That is not the same as saying they are better: the last column is what Asana is built for that they are not, and for someone who needs that, the saving is not a saving.

Two features were checked against each vendor's own pricing page: a price that does not move with users and a free plan. Those are the ones written above as does and does not. The other 14 are read out of each vendor's own pricing page, so an absence there means we did not find it listed, not that the product lacks it, and those lines say lists and does not list instead. How all of this gets checked.
This page compares everything to Asana. The shortlist asks 6 questions about who the work is for and how you like to see it, and gives you four picks priced at your own team size, which is a better question than “what is like the one I already have”.
