ClickUp

One app for tasks, docs, goals and chat

ClickUp is a project management tool for Small businesses and Agencies, offered as freemium ($12/mo). Based in United States, founded in 2017. Popular alternatives include Wrike, PrivOS, Teamwork.com.

About ClickUp

ClickUp is an all-in-one productivity platform founded in 2017 by Zeb Evans and Alex Yurkowski and based in San Diego. Its pitch is to replace a stack of separate tools, including project management, documents, whiteboards, goals, chat and time tracking, with one application, at a lower per-seat price than Asana or monday.com.

Work is organized in a deep hierarchy of workspaces, spaces, folders, lists, tasks and subtasks, with more than 15 views, custom fields, dependencies and recurring tasks. Docs, whiteboards, forms, dashboards, goals and native time tracking live alongside tasks, and Chat brings team messaging into the same workspace. Automations handle status changes, assignments and notifications, and ClickUp Brain, the AI layer, answers questions about work, writes summaries and updates, and drafts content. The Free Forever plan allows unlimited tasks and members with limited storage and feature uses; Unlimited and Business plans add storage, integrations, dashboards, timelines, workload and advanced automations, and Enterprise adds SSO, white labeling and HIPAA support.

ClickUp suits agencies, startups and small to mid-sized businesses that want maximum functionality per dollar and are willing to invest in setup and conventions. The breadth is also the main drawback: the interface is dense, and performance in large workspaces has been a frequent complaint. Asana offers a cleaner, more opinionated experience, monday.com is more visual and easier to adopt, and Notion is stronger when documents and wikis come first.

ClickUp wins on features per dollar, hands down. The cost is complexity; appoint an admin, start with one space, and resist turning on everything.
