ClickUp pricing
Pricing score: 72/10ClickUp is per-user - $7 (Unlimited) or $12 (Business) billed yearly - with a genuinely usable free plan and a 30-day money-back guarantee. What buyers misjudge is AI: Brain costs an extra $9-$28 per user, so the cheap PM tool can double once AI is switched on.

Hidden costs to watch for
- AI is not included in any plan: ClickUp Brain is a $9/user/month add-on (1,500 AI credits) and Everything AI is $28/user/month (5,000 credits, notetaker, image generation) - on Business that can more than double the per-user bill.
- Extra AI credits cost about $10 per 10,000 ($0.001/credit), so agent-heavy usage keeps metering after the add-on fee.
- Guest overage auto-charges: if you exceed your permission-controlled guest seats (5 + 2/member on Unlimited; 10 + 5/member on Business) and invite another guest, ClickUp automatically adds a paid member seat to your bill.
- The whole Workspace must be on one plan - you cannot licence Business for 5 power users and leave 20 others free; every owner, admin, member and limited member is a paid seat.
- Free-plan 'usage limits' never reset: advanced features come with a finite number of uses, and once consumed the feature locks permanently until you upgrade.
- The 30-day money-back guarantee applies only to your first paid subscription; afterwards, plans auto-renew and no refunds are offered.
Negotiation tips
Which tier is right for you?
Solo founder
→ Free Forever
Unlimited tasks and members at $0 is the most generous free tier in project management; the 60MB storage cap and one-time feature-use limits are the only real walls, and $7/month fixes both when you hit them.
Small team (5-15)
→ Unlimited (annual)
$7/user/month annually buys unlimited storage, Gantt, time tracking and integrations - at 10 users that's $840/year, and the 30-day money-back guarantee de-risks the annual commitment.
Scaling company
→ Business (annual)
Automations (5,000/month), unlimited dashboards, Google SSO and the larger guest allowance suit client-facing teams; hold Enterprise for when SAML/SCIM, audit logs or HIPAA become non-negotiable, and negotiate it.
FAQ
Yes - Free Forever, with unlimited tasks and unlimited members, which is rare. The catches: 60MB storage and one-time usage allowances on advanced features that never reset once consumed.
Annual, if you're staying: Unlimited is $7/user/month yearly versus about $10 monthly, Business $12 versus about $19. ClickUp advertises up to 30% yearly savings, and the 30-day money-back guarantee covers your first annual purchase.
The annual toggle (up to 30% off core plans, up to 20% off AI plans) is the only self-serve discount; there are no public coupon codes. Enterprise pricing is custom and genuinely negotiable with volume and term commitments.
No - AI is a per-user add-on: Brain at $9/user/month (1,500 credits) or Everything AI at $28/user/month (5,000 credits, AI notetaker, image generation). Extra credits run about $10 per 10,000.
No. Each Workspace is upgraded as a whole and users cannot be on different plans within one Workspace - every owner, admin, member and limited member is a billed seat.
Unlimited includes 5 permission-controlled guest seats plus 2 per member; Business includes 10 plus 5 per member. Exceed the allowance and inviting another permissioned guest automatically adds a paid member seat. View-only guests don't count.
A documented 30-day satisfaction guarantee: full refund within 30 days of purchasing your first paid subscription, including add-ons. After 30 days no refunds, and subscriptions auto-renew.
60MB total storage, 1 form, basic custom fields, and finite 'uses' of advanced features (like certain views and Doc tags) that don't reset monthly - your data stays intact when a limit hits, but the feature locks until you upgrade.
