Project management software cost UK

How project management software is priced

Most project management platforms use a per-seat, per-month subscription model. The seat count determines the monthly or annual charge, and the billing basis (monthly versus annual) affects the effective per-seat rate. Annual subscriptions typically carry a lower per-seat rate than rolling monthly billing. Almost every vendor reserves its highest-tier plan for enterprise customers, who must contact a sales team for a bespoke quote: no list price is published for those tiers.

Three billing variables matter when comparing tools: the currency in which prices are published, the billing frequency (monthly or annually), and any seat minimums. Monday.com publishes its UK pricing page in GBP with a stated minimum of 3 seats on paid plans. Asana and ClickUp display USD on their global pricing pages; a buyer in the UK will be billed in USD or may see a localised amount at checkout that differs from the listed rate.

Notion pricing in detail

Microsoft Planner and Project pricing

Microsoft publishes GBP prices for its project planning tools at microsoft.com/en-gb. Planner is included as part of Microsoft 365 subscriptions. Planner Plan 1 (formerly Project Plan 1) is listed at GBP 7.70 per user per month paid yearly. Planner and Project Plan 3 (formerly Project Plan 3) is listed at GBP 23.10 per user per month paid yearly.

Note that Microsoft Project Plan 5 moved to End of Sale on 1 May 2026 according to the pricing page.

How billing basis affects total cost

The difference between monthly and annual billing can be significant over a 12-month period. For a team of 10 using Asana Starter, annual billing at USD 10.99 per user produces a total of USD 1,318.80 per year, while monthly billing at USD 13.49 per user produces USD 1,618.80, a difference of USD 300. The same pattern applies across Monday.com, ClickUp, and Notion: annual commitment carries a lower effective monthly rate. Teams that are uncertain about their tooling choice or team size may prefer monthly billing initially despite the higher per-seat cost.

Seat minimums also affect the entry price. Monday.com's paid plans require a minimum of 3 seats, meaning a sole trader or 2-person team cannot access the cheapest paid tier without paying for unused seats. Asana and ClickUp do not publish a stated minimum seat count on their main pricing pages.

Free plans and trial options

Monday.com, Asana, ClickUp, and Notion all offer free tiers that do not expire. Monday.com's Free plan is capped at 2 seats. Asana's Personal plan is also capped at 2 users. ClickUp's Free Forever plan has no stated user cap but limits storage to 60MB. Notion's Free plan is primarily designed for individual use; teams of 2 or more members on the free tier encounter block limits.

All four vendors also offer trials of paid plans, though the length and terms vary. Confirm trial availability directly with each vendor before committing.

What is not covered by published prices

Enterprise tiers at all vendors require a direct sales conversation and a custom contract. These tiers typically include dedicated support, SSO, advanced security controls, and SLA commitments. No list price is published for Enterprise at Monday.com, Asana, ClickUp, or Notion. Buyers requiring enterprise features should contact each vendor's sales team directly to obtain a quote.

Add-on pricing (such as ClickUp Brain AI at USD 9 per user per month billed yearly, or Monday.com CRM and Service products at separate rates) is outside the scope of this page and should be checked on each vendor's dedicated add-on or product pricing page. For teams comparing project management software overall, price per seat is one input alongside features, integrations, and support options.

This page covers project management and task tracking software only. It does not cover related categories such as business equipment insurance or property development finance, which have separate guides on this site.

How often do project management software prices change?

Vendors typically adjust list prices annually or when introducing new product tiers, but changes can happen at any time. The prices on this page were verified from vendor pricing pages in June 2026. Always check the vendor's current pricing page before purchasing.

Do these tools charge in GBP for UK buyers?

Monday.com and Notion display GBP on their UK-facing pricing pages. Asana and ClickUp display USD on their main pricing pages as of June 2026; the currency charged at checkout may differ and should be confirmed with each vendor.

Is there a free version of Monday.com, Asana, or ClickUp?

Yes. Monday.com offers a Free plan for up to 2 seats. Asana offers a Personal (free) plan for up to 2 users. ClickUp offers a Free Forever plan with no published user limit but with storage restrictions. All three free tiers are ongoing and do not expire after a trial period, though features are limited compared with paid plans.

What is the minimum cost for a paid Monday.com plan?

Monday.com paid plans require a minimum of 3 seats. At GBP 8 per seat per month on the Basic annual plan, the minimum monthly outlay for a paid Monday.com Work Management plan is GBP 24 per month, billed as part of an annual subscription. This was the published rate in June 2026; confirm the current minimum with Monday.com before subscribing.

Do all vendors offer monthly billing?

Asana publishes both monthly and annual billing rates for its Starter and Advanced plans. Notion also offers monthly and annual billing. Monday.com and ClickUp publish annual rates primarily; whether monthly billing is available and at what rate should be confirmed with the vendor directly.
