ClickUp review

ClickUp finishes a close second because it packs the most project features into the lowest per-seat price among the full-featured tools. The Free Forever plan allows unlimited members and includes unlimited tasks and subtasks, collaborative docs, Kanban boards, a calendar view, sprint management and time tracking, though storage stops at 60 MB. Core costs $9 per user a month billed yearly, against a $12 regular price, and adds unlimited Gantt charts, custom fields and task types, unlimited storage, goals, guest permissions and 1K automations a month. Business at $17 adds advanced dashboards, resource management, timesheets, private views and 10K automations. ClickUp says it connects to 1,000+ tools. The cost of all this is setup time: with spaces, task types, custom fields and AI settings to decide on, a team should expect to spend longer configuring ClickUp than Trello or monday.com before everyone is working in it.
