ClickUp vs Asana: Project Management Comparison (2026)

The case for

• Unlimited at $7 per user billed yearly includes unlimited storage and unlimited integrations, with no cap on tasks or projects
• The free plan allows unlimited members and 100 automation runs a month, so a whole team can trial the product properly
• Business at $12 per user billed yearly raises automations to 5,000 a month and adds webhooks and advanced permissions

The catch

• Assigning a task to a guest can convert that free guest into a paid member, and teams have reported bills jumping without any deliberate change
• AI is a separate add-on at $9 or $28 per user monthly, and it is charged across every paid member seat rather than only the users who want it
• Automation runs are capped at 1,000 a month on Unlimited and 5,000 on Business, and hitting the cap triggers an upgrade prompt
• SSO, SCIM provisioning, audit logs and white labelling are Enterprise only, and Enterprise carries no published price

The case for

• The Personal plan costs nothing and covers unlimited tasks and projects, so a small team can run real work before any spend
• Starter at $10.99 per user billed yearly includes timeline, gantt charts, dashboards and unlimited free guests, with the price published openly
• Both monthly and annual per-seat rates are shown side by side, so you can see exactly what a yearly commitment saves before signing

The catch

• Goals, unlimited portfolios, workload management and native time tracking sit in Advanced at $24.99 per user yearly, more than double the Starter rate
• Seats are sold in increments of 1, 5, 10, 25 or 50 depending on account size, so teams pay for seats nobody uses
• Annual subscriptions renew automatically at then current rates unless you give written notice 30 days ahead, and renewal uplifts up to 15 percent are reported
• Cutting seats mid contract is difficult in practice, and downgrades take effect only at the renewal date rather than immediately
