ClickUp tries to be the only work app a team needs, and it comes closer than anyone. Tasks, docs, chat, goals and dashboards share one workspace, and the Free Forever plan allows unlimited tasks and unlimited free members, though storage is only 60 MB. Core costs $9 per user per month billed yearly, against a $12 regular price, and unlocks unlimited storage, Gantt charts, forms and chat, plus 1,000 automations a month. Business at $17 adds advanced dashboards, resource management, private views and 10,000 automations. ClickUp Brain AI is included with credit allowances that vary by plan, and more credits can be bought. The trade-off is complexity. ClickUp has so many settings that teams without someone to own the setup often end up with a cluttered workspace. If you have that person, ClickUp gives more for the money than any other tool on this list.
