Our verdict
ClickUp suits small businesses that want one workspace for tasks and a wide set of connections, and it has a free plan so a team can start there. The integration catalog stands at 1,000, which is the part that sets it apart from the cheaper options.

Pros and cons
Pros
- A free plan is included, so a small business can judge the tool on real work before any spend.
- Usage limits are 60MB storage, unlimited tasks, which gives a small team room to set up live boards and see how it holds up.
- ClickUp lists 1,000 integrations, so tools already in place connect rather than being rebuilt elsewhere.
- Support runs on help centre, the most common support channel in the project management group here.
Cons
- Entry pricing of $10 is higher than Hizo at $1.92 and Bitbucket at $3.65.
- Support runs on help centre only, so a paid account has no listed phone or chat route.
- Storage is part of 60MB storage, unlimited tasks, so a team with heavy files will reach that limit well before the task list runs out.
Who it suits
- Small businesses that want to judge a project tool on a free plan before spending.
- Teams whose existing tools need connecting, given 1,000 integrations to work with.
- Buyers comfortable with a mid-range entry figure, since $10 sits under the project management median of €11.18.
Who should look elsewhere
- Hizo and Bitbucket buyers, whose entry figures of $1.92 and $3.65 both sit below ClickUp's $10.
- Teams that expect chat or phone support should weigh Hizo or Bitbucket first, since ClickUp support runs on help centre only.
Plans and pricing
ClickUp's paid plan starts at $10, and ClickUp also has a free plan, so a small team can begin there rather than at checkout. That entry figure sits above Hizo at $1.92 and Bitbucket at $3.65, and below Dolisoft at €14. Across the brands listed, the median price from is €13.15, and the project management median is €11.18, so ClickUp's paid entry sits under both. On that measure ClickUp holds position 66 of 307 brands. Starting on the free plan keeps the first payment, and whatever comes later, as a later decision.
What it does well
Usage limits on the entry tier are 60MB storage, unlimited tasks. That pair shapes how a small team actually works: one element fills long before the other, and storage is the one to watch when a business attaches files to projects. The integration catalog is the second strength, standing at 1,000 connections. For a team that pays for a handful of separate tools already, that breadth means the same work can sit in one workspace instead of being copied between systems. The limits are worth reading before the catalog, because what the free plan holds shapes what the connections are for.
Who runs it
The business behind ClickUp is Mango Technologies, Inc., headquartered in the US, and it was founded in 2017. That is the counterparty named in the terms, which is the first thing a procurement team asks for, and the founding date gives a sense of how long the product has been in service. Support is listed as help centre, so the help you get comes from the help centre rather than a named contact. For a small business that is workable; for a buyer who needs a live channel in the contract, it is a point to raise before signing.

Frequently asked questions
What does ClickUp cost to get started?+
ClickUp has a free plan, so a small team can start on it before paying anything. The paid entry figure is $10, and that is the number you meet at the point of upgrading. The model is listed as free plan, so the free option is not a time-limited trial that closes on its own.
What are the limits on the ClickUp free plan?+
Usage limits are 60MB storage, unlimited tasks. That pair decides how a small team really uses the free plan, because one of the two elements runs out well before the other. The paid entry figure is $10, so storage is the practical reason to plan an upgrade rather than a rebuild.
How does ClickUp compare with cheaper alternatives?+
ClickUp's paid plan starts at $10. Hizo lists $1.92 and Bitbucket lists $3.65, so both sit below ClickUp at entry, while Dolisoft lists €14, which is above it. On the entry figure alone the order runs Hizo, Bitbucket, ClickUp, Dolisoft.
Does ClickUp connect to tools a business already runs?+
The integration catalog stands at 1,000. For a small business that matters most because tools already in place can connect rather than being duplicated somewhere else. Storage on the free plan still applies as 60MB storage, unlimited tasks, so connection breadth does not lift the size limit.
Who runs ClickUp and where is the company based?+
The business behind ClickUp is Mango Technologies, Inc., headquartered in the US, and it was founded in 2017. That is the counterparty named in the terms, which is what a procurement team checks first. Support for that company is listed as help centre.
How do you get help from ClickUp?+
Support runs on help centre, and that is the only channel listed, so most questions are answered in writing rather than in a live conversation. A business that needs a named contact on a paid plan gets less here than it would with a vendor that lists chat or phone. Pricing starts at $10.
Is ClickUp aimed at small businesses or larger teams?+
Its stated audience is small business and enterprise, which covers both ends of the market. Most small businesses look at the free plan first, and the paid figure of $10 starts to matter once they outgrow it. Larger buyers read the same pricing page and pick a tier from there.
Where does ClickUp sit on price among the brands listed?+
On price from, ClickUp ranks at position 66 of 307 brands. The median price from across the site is €13.15, and the median for project management software is €11.18, with ClickUp's own entry figure at $10.
