ClickUp is an all-in-one project management tool designed to increase team productivity. With a variety of features such as task management,
documentation and calendars, ClickUp enables users to organise and track projects. For small teams and large organisations, ClickUp offers
tool solutions to organise the workflow and enable collaboration.
Why is a ClickUp alternative useful?
[.toc-name]Useful ClickUp alternative[.toc-name]
ClickUp aims to provide users with numerous different functions. However, this leads to a lack of focus within the tool. Although ClickUp is suitable for many different project management basics, the workflows are not specialised for the requirements of individual industries. This means that bridging solutions often have to be built or alternative tools used in addition to ClickUp.
The pros and cons of ClickUp
[.toc-name]Pros & cons of ClickUp[.toc-name]
When deciding between ClickUp and other project management tools, it's important to know the pros and cons.
ClickUp scores with
✅ a versatile platform where you can manage tasks, documents and goals in one place
✅ good flexibility
✅ integrations into your existing software landscape
But beware:
❌ this versatility can be overwhelming, especially for newcomers
❌ the familiarisation period is long
❌ the wealth of features and options can make it easy to lose track
We help you find the right ClickUp alternative and present the various functions in direct comparison to awork.
UX & user friendliness
💜 awork focuses on intuitive design and user-friendliness. Daily operation is child's play and fits easily into the workflow. It's all about uncomplicated project management with a clear and intuitive user interface. Users quickly find their way around, because everything in awork is logical and easy to understand. And everything also looks really good. The tool knows how to deliver a top user experience with its beautiful design and smart simplicity.
[.b-important-block]The tool shines with its feel-good design and easy operation. Plus a clear user interface and intuitive navigation - professional and user-friendly.[.b-important-block]

🩶 ClickUp, on the other hand, relies on an extremely comprehensive function panel. The tool aims to be an “all-in-one” solution. Lots of cool features, no question, but it often becomes too much for users and they feel overwhelmed. Although the tool offers a wide variety of features, it has problems presenting them in a user-friendly and clear way.
[.b-important-block]The big amount of functions is often overwhelming for users. The focus and making work easier seems difficult.[.b-important-block]

[.b-testimonial]We tested Monday, Asana and ClickUp and the team unanimously found awork to be the most intuitive. Steepest learning curve. All functions are where you intuitively look for them and every new feature makes sense. We are fans![.b-testimonial]
The onboarding process
💜 awork focuses on ease of onboarding. Want to integrate new team members quickly? No problem thanks to intuitive operation. Getting into projects quickly and working effectively in a team? Easily possible with the clear structures. Sample projects and onboarding templates help you to use all functions quickly.
[.b-important-block]Onboarding like a walk in the park. New team members work on projects right from the start - thanks to intuitive operation and a clear structure.[.b-important-block]
[$tag]👉 awork[$tag]
🩶 ClickUp does not have the same lightness as awork. The mass of its functions feels like tons of ballast during onboarding. This makes it difficult for new team members to find their way around the tool. This leads to a slower onboarding process. Newcomers need more time and support from the team to understand and use all the functions properly.
[.b-important-block]Feature complexity makes it difficult for new team members to get started. Onboarding team members is recommended to prevent confusion.[.b-important-block]

Always helpful: The support
💜 Nobody is left alone at awork. Personal support from 9am to 5pm is the order of the day. With every exchange - be it via live chat or email - awork demonstrates its speed and reliability. The support team in Hamburg provides support in German and English.
[.b-important-block]The personal customer support is available for the customers from 9am to 5pm and gets all requests across the finish line smoothly.[.b-important-block]

🩶 Unlike awork, which boasts a real team, ClickUp does not offer personal support. Support is only offered with a chatbot and standardized answers from the help center.

Time recording, directly in the tool
💜 At awork, everything revolves around efficiency and speed. That's why time tracking is built directly into the workflow. Users record times using the stopwatch, convert calendar entries into working times or track directly on tasks, projects or clients. This ensures smooth time booking and reports can be downloaded in just a few seconds.
[.b-important-block]When awork is pedaling, there is only smooth time booking including seamless conversion of calendar entries into working times.[.b-important-block]
[$tag]👉 awork[$tag]
🩶 ClickUp offers everything from detailed time tracking to complex reports. But when it comes to time recording, speed and user-friendliness are key. The abundance of ClickUp functions is a hindrance. The complexity slows down the speed of time booking and ClickUp does not take the most efficient route.
[.b-important-block]Time tracking is possible in ClickUp, here it is important to provide the right settings and know-how in advance so that everyone can track their times independently and not get lost in the feature-jungle.[.b-important-block]

[.b-testimonial]The familiarization with awork is super easy. The tool is not overpowered like other tools (e.g. ClickUp). For us, awork works really well - everyone finds their way around quickly!"[.b-testimonial]
The supreme discipline: project planning
💜 awork: Whether timeline, lists or Kanban - every format makes project planning effective and smooth. In awork, it's all about efficient workflows: Checking off tasks, scheduling upcoming tasks and transparent project progress so that teams can check the current status at a glance.
With individual dashboards and filter systems that enable targeted reporting and views for customized overviews.
Project and task templates that save time and allow teams to work more efficiently are also part of awork.
[.b-important-block]Versatile views, transparent project progress tracking, individual dashboards and time-saving templates - all for precise project management.[.b-important-block]
[$tag]👉 awork[$tag]
🩶 ClickUp offers many functions, from task management to reporting tools. These features demonstrate the tool's adaptability in project planning.
While the variety is impressive, the abundance often obscures the actual goal - and thus jeopardizes the success of the project.
[.b-important-block]The tool has implemented features for all project management systems. Due to the variety, however, the focus and detailed elaboration that an easy user experience needs is often missing.[.b-important-block]

Clear capacity planning
💜 With a clear view of resources and capacities, awork makes vacations, absences and projects transparent. Each team member can be scheduled for the long and short term so that projects run precisely and without unexpected surprises.
[.b-important-block]awork makes capacity planning easier, makes resources transparent and ensures well-planned projects without team overload. [.b-important-block]
[$tag]👉 awork[$tag]
🩶 Capacity planning is not ClickUp's strongest discipline. Without specialized functions, users have to improvise.
[.b-important-block]ClickUp does not offer classic capacity planning. Workloads can be tracked, but an easy overview is missing.[.b-important-block]
