Vendor: ClickUp. Website: https://clickup.com/ - The free plan lists unlimited members [1]. - Unlimited costs $7 per user a month billed yearly, so $35 a month for 5 people [1]. - Business costs $12 per user a month billed yearly and adds unlimited dashboards [1]. - Gantt charts, native time tracking and unlimited custom fields come with the Unlimited plan [1]. - ClickUp names SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO 27001:2022 on its security page [2]. Verdict: ClickUp suits small teams that want a wide feature set at a low price: five people on Unlimited pay $35 a month, and the free plan has no member cap [1]. Gantt, time tracking, forms, automation and guests are all listed [1][4][5]. The catch: SAML single sign-on is limited to Enterprise, and several views on the free plan are trials [1]. Best for: Small teams that want many views and features at a low per-seat price. ## Points | Criterion | Line | Value | Points | Note | |---|---|---|---|---| | Price | Cheapest paid plan for 5 people | $35/mo | 9/12 | Unlimited, $7 per user a month billed yearly, times 5 users; no minimum seats stated [1]. | | Price | Free plan | Yes | 6/6 | Free Forever plan with Kanban boards, calendar view and tasks [1]. | | Price | People on the free plan | 1000 | 4/4 | Page lists "Unlimited Free Plan Members"; recorded as 1000 under the scoring rule [1]. | | Views | Board view | Yes | 3/3 | Pricing page lists Kanban Boards from the Free plan [1]. | | Views | Timeline or Gantt view | Yes | 7/7 | Unlimited plan lists "Unlimited Gantt Charts" [1]. | | Views | Calendar view | Yes | 2/2 | Calendar View is listed in the plan comparison [1]. | | Planning | Task dependencies | Yes | 7/7 | Plan comparison row "Relationships & Dependencies" is Included on every plan [1]. | | Planning | Workload view | Yes | 6/6 | Business lists Portfolio Workload Management; Enterprise adds custom capacity and groups [1]. | | Planning | Built-in time tracking | Yes | 5/5 | Unlimited plan lists Native Time Tracking [1]. | | Planning | Custom fields | Yes | 5/5 | Unlimited plan lists Unlimited Custom Fields [1]. | | Planning | No-code automation rules | Yes | 6/6 | Rules with triggers and actions; the free plan has 5 active rules [1][5]. | | Teamwork | Guest access for clients | Yes | 5/5 | Unlimited plan has guests with permission control; the free plan gives guests full access [1]. | | Teamwork | Request forms | Yes | 3/3 | Every form submission creates a task in the chosen List [4]. | | Teamwork | Reports and dashboards | Yes | 5/5 | Business lists Unlimited Dashboards; the page says dashboards show work across teams [1][6]. | | Security | SOC 2 Type II or ISO 27001 | Yes | 7/7 | Security page names SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO 27001:2022 [2]. | | Security | SAML single sign-on | Yes | 4/4 | Enterprise lists SAML SSO and SCIM Provisioning [1]. | | Security | Two-step sign-in | Yes | 3/3 | Two-Factor Authentication is listed from the Free plan; SMS codes are added on higher plans [1]. | | Apps and API | Apps | Windows, macOS, iOS, Android | 8/8 | Download page lists Windows (Microsoft Store), Mac, iOS (App Store) and Android (Google Play) apps [3]. | | Apps and API | Public API | Yes | 2/2 | Developer site documents a Public API with a Get Tasks endpoint; pricing lists API call limits per plan [1][7]. | ## Plans | Plan | Price | Per month (USD) | |---|---|---| | Free Forever | Free [1] | $0 | | Unlimited | $7/user/month [1] | $7 | | Business | $12/user/month [1] | $12 | | Enterprise | Contact sales [1] | - | Prices are per user a month billed yearly; monthly billing costs more.
