Everything app for tasks, docs and goals
ClickUp ranks #1 of 24 in Project management, with an Alt Score of 96. It is proprietary, freemium from $7/user/month and available on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android and Web. 14 of 14 checklist rows are verified against a public source.
Teams and businesses of any size (from startups to large enterprises) who need a single tool to manage projects, tasks, and team collaboration across departments like product, marketing, IT, and HR.
An all-in-one work management platform with task tracking, docs, chat, calendar, and time tracking. Work can be viewed as lists, boards, Gantt charts, or calendars, with custom fields, dependencies, and automations for different workflows. Dashboards give visibility into progress across projects, and a built-in AI layer (ClickUp Brain) helps surface context, summarize activity, and automate routine steps.
Work is organized into Spaces containing Folders and Lists, where you create tasks with statuses, assignees, and due dates. You track and manage that work through customizable views and dashboards, using automations and AI features to reduce manual updates.
