Airtable vs ClickUp
Priced at four team sizes, the features checked against both pricing pages.
Take Airtable if you want tasks, docs and goals in one app, growing into portfolios and governance and a free plan a small team can run on. Take ClickUp if you want tasks, docs and goals in one app and a free plan a small team can run on. ClickUp is cheaper at every size we price.
What each one actually costs
The real monthly figure at four team sizes with the add-ons each platform forces on you included, from the same engine the shortlist quiz uses. The cheaper of the two is marked on every row.
| Airtable | ClickUp | Difference | |
|---|---|---|---|

| 3 users | $0 | $0 | level |
| 5 users | $0 | $0 | level |
| 10 users | $240 | $0 | $240 |
What is actually different
- ClickUp lists a calendar view, docs and notes, intake forms, a timeline or Gantt view, goals and OKRs, boards, recurring tasks and time tracking where Airtable does not, which is their own wording rather than something we verified.
No verdict from me yet
I have not used Airtable or ClickUp on camera, so everything on this page comes from their own pricing pages, re-read weekly, and nothing from my own experience. When I review either, it will be here.
