In depth review
ClickUp · Project management software
Low priced paid plans and a free plan that is generous on tasks and tight on storage.
ClickUp is an all in one work platform. Its pricing page lists Free Forever, Unlimited at about R117 and Business at about R201 per user a month on yearly billing, converted from dollars, and a custom Enterprise tier. AI add ons cost about R151 and R468 per user a month and change the picture, since they can double or triple the per user price.

Quoted by the vendor
Enterprise is priced through ClickUp's sales team.
Each button opens the vendor's own page in a new tab, where you buy or sign up. Prices are the vendor's, shown in rand.
ClickUp lists 3 priced plans: Free Forever at no cost, Unlimited at R116 /user, Business at R198 /user. Every figure is shown in rand, converted from the vendor's own price at the day's reference rate.
The vendor does not say whether VAT is in these figures, so ask before you set them beside a price that does. South African VAT is 15 percent.
AI add ons are about R151 and R468 per user a month.

All prices are in rand. Where a vendor lists in dollars, pounds or euros we convert at R16.53 per US dollar, R21.86 per pound and R18.53 per euro (European Central Bank reference rates, via Frankfurter, 9 OCT 2026).
Amounts written out in the text of this review are at the reference rate of 2 October 2026. The charts and the calculator use the rates above, so a figure can differ by a rand or two.

Starting prices of the priced products in the same category, cheapest first. This is a price sort, not a ranking: the cheapest product is not the best one, and some are priced per user, some per month and some excluding VAT.
Bar lengths use a square root scale, so a very high price does not flatten the rest. The figures are exact.
The middle starting price of the paid products here is R170.
A dot is one plan. Free plans and plans on request have no price to place. A per user price is the price of one user.
A founding year says how long a company has existed. It says nothing about how good the product is.

Getting started with ClickUp Home
How to, 8:00, published 17 February 2026. From the ClickUp channel on YouTube.
A video loads from YouTube only when you press play. The still picture before that comes from YouTube's image servers.
ClickUp's free plan offers unlimited tasks, kanban boards, basic custom fields and round the clock support, but only 60 megabytes of storage, five spaces and one form. Unlimited lifts the storage, spaces and forms limits and adds unlimited integrations, native time tracking, goals, ClickUp Chat and email integration.
The free plan's 60 megabyte storage ends quickly, the breadth of features can overwhelm a small team, and the AI add ons change the price picture.
Against Trello, ClickUp is far broader and Trello is simpler. See the full comparison.

Yes. ClickUp sells AI as add ons of about R151 and R468 per user a month on top of the plan, so a team that adds them pays several times the plan price.
ClickUp starts at R116 /user per user a month, with a free plan as well. It lists 3 priced plans, from Free to R198 /user.
The vendor's page does not say whether VAT is included, so we show the plain figure and do not guess. Ask before you compare it with a price that states its basis.
