How much does ClickUp cost in 2026?

ClickUp Pricing (as of April 2026)

Annual billing saves approximately 30% ($10/user monthly vs $7 annual on Unlimited).

ClickUp AI Add-On

ClickUp AI is not included in any base plan. At $5/member/month on top of the base price, the effective cost of Unlimited + AI is $12/user/month — matching the Business plan without AI.

Free Forever vs Unlimited

The Free Forever plan is the most generous free PM tier available (unlimited users), but the 100 automation runs/month and 100 MB storage quickly push active teams to Unlimited.

Cost at Scale

Cost with ClickUp AI

Cost Comparison (50 Users)

ClickUp Unlimited at $350/month is the lowest-cost option with unlimited automations for 50 users, undercutting Jira Standard ($408), Trello Premium ($500), Monday.com Pro ($950), and Asana Business ($1,250).

Editor's Note: We migrated a 55-person agency from Asana Business ($1,375/month) to ClickUp Unlimited ($385/month). Annual savings: $11,880. The migration took 3 weeks (1 week longer than estimated) because ClickUp's organizational hierarchy (spaces > folders > lists) required restructuring the agency's project taxonomy. Added ClickUp AI at $5/member ($275/month) 2 months post-migration, bringing total to $660/month — still $715/month less than Asana. The performance trade-off: 4 of 55 team members reported slower page loads on boards with 500+ tasks.

Editor's Note: Across ShadowGen ClickUp rollouts in 2024-26, the per-seat headline understates the real cost in two ways. ClickUp Brain, the AI layer, is a $9-a-user add-on charged across every member of the workspace, not just the people using AI, so a Business workspace at $12 effectively becomes $21 a seat the moment anyone wants AI. And the workspace upgrades as a unit: you cannot mix paid and free members, and guests with edit rights count against paid seats. On one client we kept external reviewers on view-only access specifically to avoid billing them as members. — Rafal Fila, ShadowGen
