Hitask vs ClickUp
Both are cheap ways to get a team onto shared tasks. The interesting difference appears at the sixth team member.
Short answer
Hitask is free for up to 5 users and then $5 per user per month, offering the simplest possible shared task list. ClickUp's Free Forever plan has no five-user cliff and includes far more features, with Unlimited from about $7 per user per month. Hitask wins on simplicity; ClickUp wins on value once you pass five people.
