Is Asana cheaper than Monday.com?

It depends on the setup. The base plans are close to each other, but the total cost is driven by the number of seats and the add-ons, automations and integrations you need. For teams that would otherwise have to buy extra features in Monday.com, Asana often lands lower – we are happy to calculate it in SEK for your case.

Why do teams switch from Monday.com?

The price per seat climbs with add-ons. The base price looks reasonable, but automations, integrations and extra features quickly push up the cost per seat and month.
Limited portfolio and goal management. For larger organisations it becomes hard to track goals and resources at the portfolio level as the number of projects and teams grows.
Hard to scale cross-functionally. Monday.com works well for individual teams, but once work needs to connect across departments the structure becomes heavy to hold together.

“Most who reach out about a Monday.com switch don’t have a task-tracking problem – they’ve outgrown it and need to orchestrate work across teams, not just tick off tasks one team at a time.”

The 6 alternatives in detail

Asana – our pick for most teams

Asana is built to orchestrate work across teams: portfolios, goals (OKRs), workload and automated workflows all connect in the same platform. That lets leadership see how daily work ties to goals, while teams work in the views that suit them – lists, boards, timelines or calendar.

Bäst för: cross-functional teams and organisations that want portfolio and goal management in one place.

Tänk på: purely Gantt-heavy construction or engineering projects may prefer a tool built specifically for that.

ClickUp

ClickUp packs a great deal into a single product – tasks, docs, goals, whiteboards and built-in AI – making it a flexible all-in-one tool.

Bäst för: teams that want the broadest possible feature set at a low price.

Tänk på: the sheer breadth of features can get messy and needs clear structure and governance so it doesn’t sprawl.

Wrike

Wrike is strong on resource planning, time tracking and juggling many parallel assignments, which makes it popular with agencies and service organisations.

Bäst för: agencies and teams that need detailed resource and capacity planning.

Tänk på: the interface can feel heavy and requires some configuration before it clicks.

Smartsheet

Smartsheet feels familiar to anyone used to spreadsheets, but adds project features such as dependencies, automations and Gantt views on top of the row-and-column logic.

Bäst för: teams that live in spreadsheets and want planning and Gantt without leaving that habit.

Tänk på: collaboration and communication feel less modern than in Asana, and it can get clunky for pure work-management flows.

Trello

Trello is simple and intuitive, with kanban boards anyone understands in minutes, which makes it ideal for smaller teams and lighter flows.

Bäst för: small teams with simple kanban flows and limited reporting needs.

Tänk på: it lacks the depth in portfolio management, dependencies and cross-functional orchestration that larger organisations need.

Notion

Notion combines docs, wiki and databases with lighter project management, making it handy for teams that want to gather knowledge and work on the same surface.

Bäst för: doc-heavy teams that want light project management close to their knowledge base.

Tänk på: its project and portfolio features are shallower than Asana’s and require more custom building to scale.

How to choose the right Monday.com alternative

Cross-functional work with portfolio and goal management: Asana.
Broadest possible all-in-one at a low price: ClickUp.
Agency or services with heavy resource planning: Wrike.
Spreadsheet-savvy teams that want Gantt and planning: Smartsheet.
Small team with simple kanban flows: Trello.
Docs and knowledge close to the work: Notion.
