Pricing Comparison

ClickUp

Free Forever

Free

Users: Unlimited members

Storage: 60MB total (not per user)

Limits: No guests, limited automations, no 2FA, no permissions, activity history limited

60MB storage is extremely limiting, 5 Space limit constrains organization, advanced features have usage caps that run out quickly

Unlimited

Popular

$7/mo

Users: Unlimited

Storage: Unlimited

Limits: No advanced automations, no workload management, no SSO, limited activity history (7 days)

Guest seats $5/each beyond allocation add up quickly (15-30% of contract for some), AI add-on $5-9/user extra, activity view limited to 7 days, advanced automations locked to Business tier

Business

$12/mo

Users: Unlimited

Storage: Unlimited

Limits: No SSO, no advanced permissions, no enterprise security features

Still no SSO (major security gap), AI add-on $5-28/user extra, guests still cost extra, some teams report surprise price increases

Enterprise

$0/yr

Users: Unlimited

Storage: Unlimited

Limits: Annual contract required, pricing negotiation necessary

Pricing not public - reportedly starts around $24-29/user/month. Implementation and training extra. 70% of companies overpay by choosing Enterprise when Business + add-ons would suffice.
