Ceyu

Compare

Ceyu against what you already pay for.

Six comparisons on one page, against Miro, Asana, monday.com, Notion, ClickUp and Trello, all scored on the same 22 criteria, with every price per user per month, billed yearly, and checked on 3 August 2026.

Free forever plan · No credit card · Works offline

All seven, side by side

22 criteria, the same for every tool. A tick is a full yes and counts a point, a half circle is a partial yes with the caveat written under it and counts nothing, a dash is a no. Every column answers for the plan named at the foot of it — including this one — so the switch moves all seven scores, not only Ceyu's.

Every figure checked on 3 August 2026 against the vendors' own pricing pages: Miro, Asana, monday.com, Notion, ClickUp, Trello. monday.com and Notion quote in euro on the pages we checked and price by billing country. Prices change; theirs is the figure that counts.

How this is scored

A comparison whose method is hidden is an advertisement. This one is on the page, and so is what every tool here does better than Ceyu.

The same 22 rows for everyone

Nothing is scored for one tool that is not asked of the other six, and where Ceyu answers no it is marked as missing in its own column rather than left off the list. Single sign-on is the clearest case, because it needs an Enterprise plan and is marked as a partial yes on both Ceyu plans.

Every column answers for its plan, not its product

A tick means the plan named under that column has it. ClickUp Unlimited has no whiteboard, monday.com Basic has no timeline and no automations, Asana Starter has no workload view — all three are marked missing on the entry setting and ticked on the top one, exactly as Ceyu Plus is. The alternative, crediting a product with a feature its cheap plan does not sell, flatters every vendor on the page including this one.

Only a full yes counts a point

A partial yes is a half circle with the limitation written under it — “timeline view only”, “limited offline mode”, “through Power-Ups”. It scores nothing, and it is never hidden behind a symbol you have to interpret.

Every price is sourced and dated

Read on 3 August 2026 from each vendor's own pricing page, linked above. monday.com and Notion quote in euro and price by billing country, so their figures stay in euro rather than becoming an invented conversion.

Every comparison names what it loses

Each of the six panels below ends with what that tool does better than Ceyu, and the closest competitor is named as such. A comparison that concedes nothing is not a comparison.

What a board and a plan cost together

Per user, per month, billed yearly. Two products means two bills, and this is what the pairing costs once both are on the invoice.

  • Ceyu Plusone product, both modules $5.83
  • ClickUp Unlimitedone product, both modules $7.00
  • Ceyu Proadds multiplayer and encrypted sync $12.50
  • Trello Standard + Miro Startertwo bills $13.00
  • Asana Starter + Miro Startertwo bills $18.99
  • Asana Advanced + Miro Businesstwo bills $44.99

A team of five on the Asana + Miro pairing pays $1,139.40 a year. The same five on Ceyu Plus pay $349.80, a difference of $789.60, and that difference is the part of the budget that buys something else.

Ceyu vs Miro

Ceyu 21·Miro 8of 22 on the top plans

Short answer: Ceyu. Miro is a whiteboard and nothing else, so the plan that comes out of the board has to live in a second product on a second bill. Ceyu has both in one workspace for less than Miro alone, and it imports your Miro boards, so switching does not start from an empty canvas.

Where Miro is ahead

A template and integration library built over more than a decade, apps for the phone, and a public API Ceyu has not shipped yet. Facilitation features Ceyu does not have, such as voting sessions, timers and Talktrack recordings. And an ecosystem advantage: most people you invite have used Miro before, so nobody needs onboarding. If the whiteboard is the entire job and you run facilitated workshops for a living, Miro is the better tool and this page says so.

Questions people ask before switching

What is the best Miro alternative that also does project management?

Ceyu. Miro is a whiteboard, so you have to buy a project tool beside it. Ceyu puts an infinite canvas and full project planning in one workspace from $5.83 per user per month billed yearly, against $8 for Miro Starter plus $10.99 for Asana Starter. Ceyu also imports Miro boards directly, so the move does not start from a blank canvas.

How do the seven tools score against each other?

Ceyu leads both settings of the switch across all 22 criteria, which fall into five groups. Planning, working together, what goes on the canvas, where the work lives and reach. On the top plans Ceyu Studio scores 21 of 22, then ClickUp 14, Asana 10, monday.com 10, Notion 9, Miro 8, Trello 7. On the entry plans Ceyu Plus scores 15, then ClickUp 10, Miro 7, Asana 7, Notion 7, Trello 6, monday.com 5. Every column answers for the plan named under it rather than for the product, which is why the numbers move when you switch. Ceyu does not score full marks on either setting, because single sign-on needs an Enterprise plan.

Why does ClickUp score lower on the entry setting?

Because ClickUp Unlimited at $7.00 is not the plan its feature marketing describes. Its own pricing page puts Whiteboards, Automations and the public API under Business at $12.00, and SSO under Enterprise, so on the entry setting ClickUp scores 10 of 22 rather than 14. The same rule costs monday.com Basic its timeline, automations, workload view, time tracking and API, Asana Starter its workload view and time tracking, and Notion Plus its timeline. It also costs Ceyu Plus six rows. Nobody on this page is credited with a feature their cheapest paid plan does not sell.

What do the two switch positions compare?

The first paid plan of each product, and the dearest plan each one publishes a price for. The entry plans are Ceyu Plus at $5.83, Trello Standard at $5.00, ClickUp Unlimited at $7.00, Miro Starter at $8.00, monday.com Basic at €9.00, Notion Plus at €9.50 and Asana Starter at $10.99. The top plans are ClickUp Business at $12.00, Trello Enterprise at $17.50, monday.com Pro at €19.00, Notion Business at €19.50, Miro Business at $20.00, Ceyu Studio at $20.83 and Asana Advanced at $24.99. Free plans are deliberately left out, because this compares what you pay for. Where a product quotes its highest tier only on request, the dearest published tier is used and named.

What is the difference between Ceyu Plus and Ceyu Studio?

Six of the 22 rows. Plus at $5.83 per user per month billed yearly gives you both modules, unlimited boards and projects, every file format, video and 3D, board import and time tracking, which comes to 15 of 22. Studio at $20.83 adds Gantt, timeline and capacity planning, real-time multiplayer, read-only links for clients who take no seat, end-to-end encrypted sync and automation rules, which comes to 21 of 22. Single sign-on and SCIM need Enterprise on either.

Is Ceyu cheaper than Miro, Asana, monday.com, Notion, ClickUp and Trello?

For a whiteboard and a project tool together, yes. Ceyu Plus is $5.83 per user per month billed yearly and covers both. The cheapest comparable combination elsewhere is ClickUp Unlimited at $7.00, Stacking two products costs from $13.00 upward, which is Trello Standard at $5 plus Miro Starter at $8, or $18.99 if you want Asana Starter at $10.99 next to that same Miro. Prices checked 2 August 2026.

Which of these tools work offline?

Only Ceyu opens and edits a board with no network at all, because a Ceyu board is a file on your own disk rather than a row in someone else's database. Miro, Asana, monday.com and Trello need a connection. Notion and ClickUp have partial offline modes that cover recently opened content.

Which tool comes closest to Ceyu?

ClickUp, and it is not close between it and the rest. On the top plans it scores 14 of 22 against 8 for Miro and 7 for Trello. ClickUp Business is the only other plan here with a whiteboard and full planning in one product on one bill, and that is exactly the point about its cheaper plan. ClickUp Unlimited at $7.00 has no whiteboard, no automations and no API, which is why it drops to 10 on the entry setting. What separates the two at any tier is where the work lives. ClickUp is a cloud service holding your files and your keys, while Ceyu keeps boards as files on your disk and syncs them end to end encrypted.

Can I import my Miro or FigJam boards into Ceyu?

Yes. Ceyu imports boards from Miro, FigJam, Mural and Excalidraw, and images, SVG and PDF as canvas objects. Complex embeds and app-specific widgets do not survive the trip and need redrawing. There is no direct task importer for Asana or monday.com today, so task lists move by CSV.

Which of these tools offers end-to-end encrypted sync?

Ceyu is the only one of the seven. On Ceyu Pro and above, boards are encrypted on your device before they are synced, so the server stores ciphertext it cannot read. Miro, Asana, monday.com, Notion, ClickUp and Trello encrypt in transit and at rest, which is not the same thing, because they hold the keys.

Do I need a whiteboard and a project tool, or just one?

If the plan comes out of the drawing, you need both. A concept board that becomes a shot list, a brief that becomes a sprint. Buying the two separately means two bills, two logins and a copy-paste seam between them. If you only ever need one of the two, compare that one directly, because the gap narrows and the specialist may win it.

Is Ceyu a good Asana or monday.com alternative for a small team?

Yes, particularly under about ten people. Asana's free plan stops at 2 users and monday.com's free plan stops at 2 seats, so a third person means a paid plan for everyone. Ceyu Plus is $5.83 per user per month billed yearly, includes the whiteboard, and a single person can subscribe.

How is this comparison scored, and is it fair?

Every tool is measured against the same 22 criteria, and only a full yes counts a point. A partial yes is marked with a half circle and the caveat is written under it, so nothing is hidden behind a symbol. Every column answers for the plan named under it rather than for the product, and that rule is applied to all seven alike. Ceyu Plus loses Gantt and multiplayer, ClickUp Unlimited loses the whiteboard and the API, and monday.com Basic loses timelines and automations. On the top plans it scores 21 of 22 against ClickUp's 14, and on the entry plans 15 against 10. Every price and every plan boundary was read from the vendor's own pricing page on 3 August 2026 and the sources are linked, and every comparison ends with what that tool does better than Ceyu.

What do these tools do better than Ceyu?

Every comparison on this page names it. Miro has a far larger template and workshop library. Asana has deeper portfolio reporting. monday.com models processes Ceyu cannot. Notion is a better wiki. ClickUp has more views, automations and integrations. Trello is simpler to start. Ceyu is narrower on purpose, and wins where the board and the plan belong together.

Can I try Ceyu for free before switching?

Yes. The free plan does not expire and does not ask for a card. You get three active boards and three active projects, both modules, with the files on your own disk. Import a board from your current tool and see whether it survives the trip before anyone pays anything.

The stack, as it actually feels

Drag them around. Throw one at the others. This is roughly what a month of tool decisions looks like from the inside.

Stop paying two bills for one job.

Import a board from whatever you are using now, put the plan next to it, and see whether the seam you have been living with was ever necessary.
