AI is now included on every plan as a monthly allowance of AI credits, rather than a separate Brain add-on. Prices are in US dollars, per user per month on yearly billing, and exclude local taxes. The yearly prices shown are an introductory rate; the regular price is listed underneath. Monthly billing costs more.

Already on ClickUp? Workspaces on the old Unlimited ($7) or Business ($12) plans keep that pricing until renewal, and no earlier than January 2027, so check your own plan before comparing.

Which plan do most teams need? For most growing service businesses, Business is the right choice: it adds the dashboards, workload view, automations and permissions that client work depends on.
