ClickUp costs $9 per user per month on Core, $17 on Business and $100 on Max with annual billing, and the Free plan is $0. Monthly billing is higher, with regular prices of $12, $25 and $120. At 10 users on annual billing that is $1,080, $2,040 and $12,000 a year. Enterprise is quote only. Automation allowances grow from 1K runs a month on Core to 10K on Business and 1M on higher tiers.
If you are comparing task and project tools for a team, the useful questions are what the seat price becomes at your headcount, which limit you hit first, and whether you still need a person handing out work. This guide uses the figures on the ClickUp pricing page as read on November 10, 2026, and tells you where I could not confirm a number. Prices change, so check the page before you buy.
How much does ClickUp cost per user?
On annual billing the pricing page shows Core at $9, Business at $17, Max at $100 and Enterprise by quote, with a Free plan at $0. The page shows a struck through regular price beside each paid plan, $12 for Core, $25 for Business and $120 for Max, which is what you pay without the yearly discount. Treat the discounted figures as the price you plan on and the regular ones as the ceiling.
| Plan | Annual, per user per month | Regular price | Automations shown |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | $0 | Not listed here |
| Core | $9 | $12 | 1K per month |
| Business | $17 | $25 | 10K per month |
| Max | $100 | $120 | 1M per month |
| Enterprise | Quote | Quote | 1M per month |
What does ClickUp cost for 10, 25 and 50 users?
Multiply the seat price by users and twelve. These are annual billing totals before tax and before any add on, such as extra AI credits, which the page sells separately.
| Users | Core, yearly | Business, yearly | Max, yearly |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 | $1,080 | $2,040 | $12,000 |
| 25 | $2,700 | $5,100 | $30,000 |
| 50 | $5,400 | $10,200 | $60,000 |
At the regular monthly price Business at 25 users is $7,500 a year instead of $5,100. The gap is $2,400, so billing term matters more than most plan choices.
Which ClickUp plan do you need?
Core suits a small team that needs the basics and can live with 1K automation runs a month. Business is where most growing teams land, since it lifts automations to 10K a month and adds the features the page groups under dashboards, resource management and webhooks. Max is a different price class at $100 and only makes sense if you need what it adds on top of Enterprise level controls. If you cannot name the feature that forces the jump, stay one tier lower.
What do the automation limits mean for assignment?
Every automation that runs counts. A form that creates a task and an automation that sets its assignee is one run per task, so 400 intake tasks a month uses 400 runs. That is comfortable on 1K and still fine on 10K. The limit bites when you stack several rules per task, such as set assignee, set priority and post a comment.
The bigger issue is what the assignment action can do. Automations can add, remove or replace a named assignee, and I found no native round robin or workload based setting. ClickUp's feedback board carries open requests for both. If your lead still hands out intake by hand each morning, read our page on ClickUp auto assign tasks for where native rules stop and what a routing layer adds.
Is ClickUp cheaper than Asana or monday?
Seat for seat, Business at $17 is in the same range as the mid tiers of the other work management tools. The honest comparison is by feature you need, not by headline price. We cover the others in Asana pricing per user and monday service pricing, and the same trap shows up in all three: the plan buys you a place to keep work, not a fair way to hand it out.
What does the real cost include besides seats?
- Guests and viewers, which can be free or priced differently, so check how many outside people need access.
- AI credits, sold separately on the pricing page at $10 per 10K credits.
- The hours a lead spends assigning, rebalancing and chasing work.
- Time spent maintaining one set of automations per List.
The last two rarely appear in a budget. If a lead spends 20 minutes a day assigning, that is about 85 hours a year, or roughly $4,300 at $50 an hour. Assigner Starter is $7 per user per month billed yearly with a five user minimum, so ten users is $840 a year.
How do you choose before you commit?
- Count the users who need a paid seat today and in twelve months.
- Estimate monthly automation runs from last month's task volume times rules per task.
- Pick the lowest plan that includes the one feature you cannot do without.
- Price annual and regular monthly, and ask whether you can switch later.
- Time one week of manual assignment to see whether you need a router.
Once the tool is chosen, the project often needs outside reporting. If you run client work in ClickUp, a monthly update that shows where organic search traffic is coming from is usually the first thing a client asks for, and it is cheaper to plan for than to rebuild later.
