Freemium workspace software with annual-billed core tiers, monthly AI tiers, and custom enterprise pricing.
↻ Billing notes
ClickUp’s public pricing page displays yearly billing for the main work plans and monthly billing for the AI plans. The page also says you can save up to 30% with yearly billing on the work plans and up to 20% with yearly billing on the AI plans. A 100% money-back guarantee is advertised, and the FAQ says workspace upgrades apply to the entire Workspace. Enterprise is sold through sales with a custom demo and no public list price.
AI Super Credits are sold at $10 per 10,000 credits and can be added beyond the monthly allowance included in AI plans.
ClickUp Assist
ClickUp Assist includes 2 hours of 1:1 expert time per month for live training and support for AI, but the provided pricing text does not show a separate published price.
⚠ ClickUp’s pricing structure can create hidden scaling costs because upgrading applies to the entire Workspace. If one team member or one department needs a paid feature, the broader workspace may need to move up a tier, which can increase the total bill faster than a seat-by-seat model. Buyers should also watch the AI credit system, since usage beyond included allowances can require additional purchases.
⚠ Another hidden cost is the indirect effort involved in implementation and plan selection. Higher tiers unlock the features that usually matter most for larger teams, such as advanced automations, governance, SSO, audit logs, and managed onboarding. If those needs emerge late, the final cost can be higher than the headline plan price suggests.
The cheapest way is the Free Forever plan. The pricing page shows that ClickUp has a free forever option, and the site itself repeatedly says it is free to get started. That makes it possible to evaluate the product before choosing a paid tier.
The lowest-cost paid work plan shown on the official pricing page is Unlimited at $7 per user/month billed yearly. If you are looking at AI separately, the lowest-cost paid AI plan is Brain AI at $9 per user/month. Which one matters more depends on whether you need workspace capabilities or AI capabilities.
There can be. The pricing page says every AI plan includes a monthly credit allowance shared across the Workspace, and it also offers AI Super Credits for purchase. That means heavier AI usage can increase the total cost beyond the base AI subscription.
The FAQ on the pricing page says that to upgrade ClickUp, you need to upgrade your entire Workspace. In practice, that means cost can scale with the whole workspace rather than a single user. Buyers planning a partial rollout should factor that into budgeting.
