The platform is robust for multiple use cases. We found usage for our team across multiple teams and this was the only platform we found usable in spite of trying out and reviewing multiple tools. We really liked that the advanced features aren’t all upfront and causing overwhelm. It is masked in a way that a power user comfortable with the tool can then access them when needed.

Why is 5day.io a better alternative to ClickUp?

ClickUp is an all in one tool with almost all the features you can ever imagine. It is liked by users who have to dedicatedly organize data and structure tasks.   

Then why go for 5day.io? Because more often than not, your workday will not just consist of organizing data and preparing to do work.   

Planning is just one aspect of a project, and a complex tool like ClickUp takes away time from actual execution with a long list of features settings.  

5day.io is the best ClickUp alternative for small teams, startups, and solopreneurs that want a tool that simplifies planning without compromising on premium features.
