Asana vs ClickUp: Pricing Compared in 2026

Verified 2026-07-27  ·  by Sebastian Bru

Both tools do broadly the same job. The gap that matters for most teams is what they cost once seat minimums and user caps are applied.

What each one costs your team

Cheapest paid plan from each, on annual billing, with vendor seat minimums included.

Asana plans

Popular with marketing and operations teams. Clean interface, strong task management, but the useful reporting features sit behind the Advanced tier.

What neither pricing page tells you

Asana: The free plan caps at 10 users. Team number 11 pushes you to a paid plan for everyone, not just the new person.
Asana: Time tracking is only on Advanced, at more than double the Starter price. Many teams discover this after committing.
ClickUp: Monthly billing costs 43% more than annual on Unlimited and 58% more on Business. The steepest annual penalty in this category.
ClickUp: The free plan has only 100 MB of total storage, which a handful of attachments will exhaust.
Before you compare on price alone The cheapest plan is not the same plan on both sides. Check what each tier actually includes before treating these numbers as equivalent.
