The plain-English overview
Juggling jobs, to-dos, and notes across sticky notes and five apps? ClickUp puts tasks, docs, and chat in one place, with AI built in. ClickUp's pricing page spells out what each plan includes. Here's the short version, as of Oct 28, 2026.
What ClickUp lists:
- ClickUp Brain: AI built into ClickUp, with monthly credits that grow with each plan.
- AI Notetaker: listed on the Enterprise plan.
- Everyday work: unlimited tasks, collaborative docs, Kanban boards, forms, and ClickUp Chat.
- Automations: 1,000 a month on Core and 10,000 on Business.
- Max plan: ClickUp lists custom skills, auto-memory, talk-to-text, and MCP connections.
Who it's for: small teams who want one place for projects and tasks, with AI help to write, summarize, and organize.
Good to know: check AI summaries of tasks and docs before you share them with clients.
Planning your week? See our weekly plan playbook.
Picture this: you run a five-person marketing agency. Every Monday you ask ClickUp Brain to summarize last week's client tasks: what's done, what's overdue, and who's waiting on whom. You paste the summary into your team meeting notes and fix the two tasks that are stuck. (Our illustration of how teams use AI summaries, not a test we ran.)
Questions to ask before you start:
- How many credits will you use? ClickUp lists monthly Brain credits per plan, so start small and watch your usage.
- Who needs a paid seat? ClickUp prices most plans per user.
- What goes in ClickUp? Decide which client details belong in shared docs.
Try it this week: 1. Move one project's to-dos into ClickUp. 2. Ask Brain for one summary at the end of the week. 3. Compare it with what you know, and fix anything it missed.
