How much does project management software cost for 5 people?
At listed entry-tier prices on annual billing, 5 members cost about $35 per month on ClickUp (5 at $7), $45 on Monday.com (5 at $9), $50 on Notion (5 at $10) and $54.95 on Asana (5 at $10.99). Only ClickUp's free plan allows more than 2 members, but it caps total shared storage at 60MB.
| Tool | Entry tier | Per member, annual | 5 members (5 × per-member) | Worth knowing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ClickUp | Unlimited | $7 ($10 billed monthly) | $35/mo | Goals, time tracking and workload sit behind Business ($12) |
| Monday.com | Basic | $9 ($12 billed monthly) | $45/mo | 3-seat minimum on every paid plan |
| Notion | Plus | $10 ($12 billed monthly) | $50/mo | Full Notion AI requires Business ($20) |
| Asana | Starter | $10.99 ($13.49 billed monthly) | $54.95/mo | AI capped at 5 requests per user per month |
The totals are StackScope's arithmetic of five members at each tool's listed per-member price. The cheapest entry tier isn't always the one you'll need: ClickUp's Unlimited plan gates Goals, time tracking and workload management behind Business at $12 per member, which would be $60 per month for 5.
The free plans are limited in different ways. ClickUp's has unlimited members but only 60MB of total shared storage. Asana's free plan is limited to 2 users, Monday.com's to 2 seats and 3 boards, and Notion's collaborative workspaces cap at 1,000 blocks.
Figures are published list prices aggregated from vendor pricing pages and independent third-party research as of October 2026. Totals marked as arithmetic are StackScope's multiplication of a listed per-seat price. Confirm current pricing directly with each vendor before purchasing.
