Engine by engine
ClickUp vs Trello: what the data says
When buyers ask AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini to recommend project management software, Trello is recommended more often than ClickUp — scoring 79/100 for AI visibility versus 40/100. Trello shows up in 90% of AI answers to real buyer questions; ClickUp shows up in 60%.
The gap is widest on Gemini, where Trello is clearly favoured: ClickUp is recommended 40% of the time and Trello 80%. Because each engine draws on different sources, a brand can lead on one and trail on another — which is why it pays to track all three rather than assume one result holds everywhere.
In practice, an AI assistant asked “What are the best project management tools for remote teams?” is far likely to put Trello on its shortlist. Both are in the running, but the more consistently a brand is described the same way across the web, the more confidently the models name it.
