ClickUp vs Trello
Priced at four team sizes, the features checked against both pricing pages.
Take ClickUp if you want tasks, docs and goals in one app and a free plan a small team can run on. Take Trello if you want boards as the interface, a free plan a small team can run on and the least to learn. 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.
| ClickUp | Trello | Difference | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 users | $0 | $0 | level |
| 3 users | $0 | $0 | level |
| 5 users | $0 | $0 | level |
| 10 users | $0 | $0 | level |
What is actually different
- ClickUp lists docs and notes, intake forms, goals and OKRs, recurring tasks and time tracking where Trello does not, which is their own wording rather than something we verified.
No verdict from me yet
I have not used ClickUp or Trello 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.
