Focus vs All-in-One
ClickUp is a workspace for tasks, docs, chat, goals and AI, where Gantt is one of many views. Instagantt does one job: planning projects on a Gantt chart, either standalone or on top of Asana. Which fits better depends on whether you want to replace your other tools or keep them.
ClickUp's free plan lets you try the Gantt view for 60 uses, and the Unlimited plan removes the cap. Critical path, baselines and unlimited workload views require ClickUp Business; Instagantt includes both on every plan.
Pricing
ClickUp Unlimited costs $10 per user per month, or $7 billed yearly, and Business costs $19, or $12 billed yearly. Instagantt Individual costs $12 per month, or $10 billed yearly, and Teams costs a flat $24 per month, or $20 billed yearly, for three collaborators.
On a yearly plan ClickUp Unlimited is cheaper per user, but critical path and baselines sit on Business, where a team of three pays $36 per month billed yearly, against $20 per month for Instagantt Teams.
Asana and Migration
ClickUp can import projects from Asana once, as a migration. Instagantt syncs with Asana in both directions, so teams that want to keep Asana for task management and add Gantt planning do not have to move.
Both tools share plans through public links. ClickUp exports Gantt charts to PDF or PNG on Business; Instagantt exports to PDF and image on its paid plans.
Our Verdict
ClickUp is the better choice if you want one workspace for everything and a free way to try Gantt charts. Instagantt is the better choice for a small or medium team that wants critical path and baselines in a focused Gantt tool, without paying for a Business plan.
