What it costs

Each free-plan label has a ? with that plan's exact limits.

Gript
No free plan?No free-forever tier. Instead a 14-day free trial with no credit card and full features, then a paid plan.
  • Private, 1 person$7 / $5 / $4
  • Business, per seat$10 / $8 / $6.40
Prices are monthly / annual / 2-year, up to 43% off. Only tool here with a single-person plan and a 2-year option. AI is bring-your-own-key at provider prices, so there is no AI add-on or credit bundle to buy.
monday.com
Free plan?Free: up to 2 seats, 3 boards, 3 docs, unlimited items, basic table and kanban only. No automations, integrations, forms, guest access, calendar or timeline/Gantt views.
  • Basic$9
  • Standard$12
  • Pro$19
  • EnterpriseQuote
Per seat/mo, annual. 3-seat minimum. Email client and SLA live in the pricier CRM and Service products.
ClickUp
Free forever?Free Forever: unlimited members but only 60MB total storage, 1 form, kanban and calendar views. No Gantt, dashboards, time tracking, guest permissions, goals or in-app email. Automations very limited.
  • Unlimited$7
  • Business$12
  • EnterpriseQuote
Per seat/mo, annual. AI (Brain) is a separate $9 to $28 per-seat add-on.
Asana
Free plan?Personal free: up to 2 users (plus guests), unlimited tasks and projects, list/board/calendar only, 100MB per file. No timeline/Gantt, forms, dashboards, workload, time tracking or approvals.
  • Starter$10.99
  • Advanced$24.99
  • EnterpriseQuote
Per seat/mo, annual. Time tracking, workload and approvals need Advanced.
Notion
Free plan?Free: unlimited for a solo user but limited once you add members, max 10 guests, 5MB file-upload cap, 7-day page history, AI only as a limited trial. No custom forms, single chart only.
  • Plus$10
  • Business$20
  • EnterpriseQuote
Per seat/mo, annual. Form logic, dashboards and full AI all sit at Business.
Wrike
Free plan?Free: unlimited users but only board and table views. No Gantt, calendar, dashboards, automations, time tracking, forms or proofing.
  • Team$10
  • Business$25
  • PinnacleQuote
  • ApexQuote
Per seat/mo, annual. Team seats 2 to 15, Business 5 to 200. Pinnacle/Apex are sales-quoted, roughly $40 to $80.
Smartsheet

  • Pro$9
  • Business$19
  • EnterpriseQuote
Per seat/mo, annual. Pro max 10 members, Business 3+ seats. Time and resource features are a separate quoted add-on.
Trello
Free plan?Free: up to 10 boards per workspace, unlimited cards, 10MB per file, unlimited Power-Ups, and 250 automation runs a month. Only the basic board view; extra views, forms and dashboards need Premium or Power-Ups.
  • Standard$5
  • Premium$10
  • Enterprise$17.50
Per seat/mo, annual. A simple kanban tool; most extras come from paid Power-Ups (add-ons).

Gript has a dedicated single-person plan ($7 flat) and the only 2-year option here. Its team price ($8 to $10 per seat) beats the full work-management tools while bundling things they charge extra for. Trello is cheaper still (from $5), but it is a simple board tool that is missing most of what follows.
