Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: ClickUp at Free against Project Planner's $2.99. ClickUp also leads on rating (4.7 vs 3.8) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). Project Planner's advantage is iOS requirement (11.4 vs 17.4). On review sentiment, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
