Editor''s Note: We migrated a 55-person agency from Asana Business ($1,375/month) to ClickUp Unlimited ($385/month). Annual savings: $11,880. The migration took 3 weeks (1 week longer than estimated) because ClickUp''s organizational hierarchy (spaces > folders > lists) required restructuring the agency''s project taxonomy. Added ClickUp AI at $5/member ($275/month) 2 months post-migration, bringing total to $660/month — still $715/month less than Asana. The performance trade-off: 4 of 55 team members reported slower page loads on boards with 500+ tasks.
