Use tool ↗About ClickUp
ClickUp is a project and work management app that puts tasks, docs and wikis, team chat, whiteboards, goals, time tracking, forms and dashboards in one workspace, with list, board, Gantt, calendar and workload views. Its AI layer, ClickUp Brain, answers questions across the workspace, drafts and summarises docs and tasks, fills AI custom fields, records meeting notes, generates images and runs agents, and can route requests to several third-party models. AI use is metered in credits pooled per user that come with each paid plan, so heavier AI usage means a higher tier rather than a separate add-on. It is made by Mango Technologies, Inc., headquartered in San Diego, and runs on web, desktop, mobile and as a Chrome extension.

Pros & cons of ClickUp
ClickUp fits teams that want to consolidate tasks, docs, chat and reporting into one tool and are willing to spend time configuring it; the bundled AI credits make Brain usable without a separate subscription. Small teams that just need a simple board, or anyone sensitive to dense interfaces, will find it heavier than it needs to be.
Pros
- Very broad feature set covering tasks, docs, chat, whiteboards, goals and time tracking
- Generous free plan with unlimited members and tasks
- AI credits are included in every paid plan rather than sold as a separate seat add-on
- Apps for web, desktop, mobile and a Chrome extension, plus a public API
Cons
- The breadth of options makes setup and day-to-day navigation complex
- Free plan limits storage to 60 MB and gives AI only as a one-off 500-credit trial
- Headline prices assume yearly billing; monthly is roughly a third more
Best for
- Teams replacing separate task, doc and chat tools with one workspace
- Agencies and operations teams that need custom fields, automations and dashboards
- Companies that want workspace-aware AI search and meeting notes inside their project tool
Not for
- Individuals or tiny teams who only need a simple to-do list or kanban board
- Organisations that want unlimited AI use at the lower tiers, since credits are capped per user
Watch out: AI features such as automations, agents, AI fields and image generation draw on pooled monthly credits on every plan below Max, so heavy AI use can push a team to a higher tier; the advertised per-seat prices are for annual billing.
