Best fit
Who each tool is for
ClickUp
DefaultBest for: Consultants who want one workspace for client projects, docs and tasks, and will spend an afternoon setting it up.
Why pick it: A generous free plan and a low paid tier cover projects, docs, time tracking and client views in one tool, so you can retire two or three separate apps.
Watch for: It has a lot of features and a learning curve. If you only track a few client tasks, Asana, Notion or a simple board is quicker.
Miro
DefaultBest for: Consultants running strategy workshops, brainstorming sessions, and framework exercises with clients.
Why pick it: 5,000+ templates cover every major consulting framework out of the box. Real-time collaboration with voting, timers, and private brainstorming mode prevents groupthink, and Miro AI can draft boards and summaries from a prompt.
Watch for: Overkill for simple note-taking or async document collaboration. Use Notion if you need a knowledge base, not a whiteboard.
