ClickUp has a native Notion importer on all plans. Databases arrive as one Folder, fields become Text custom fields and pages become Docs; comments, attachments and buttons inside inline databases do not come across.
Quick verdict: Move to ClickUp if your Notion databases have turned into a task tracker and you need statuses, time tracking, sprints or Gantt that Notion does not have.
Most buyers only budget for the new subscription. This estimates the hidden labor, data-cleanup, and retraining cost of actually making the switch.
Estimate assumes: 1 hour of data-mapping/cleaning labor per 2,000 records, a blended $75/hr ops rate, tiered migration & cleaning tooling fees, and 4 hours of retraining per seat at a $45/hr fully-loaded rate.
Unlimited Notion imports on every ClickUp plan.
$7 against $10 a month, both yearly.
Time tracking, sprints, Gantt and dashboards built in.
Inline database comments, attachments and button fields do not import; Notion fields arrive as Text custom fields you retype; ClickUp’s AI is a paid add-on.
| Step | What you do |
|---|---|
| 1Export from Notion | Open the database page, click the three-dot menu, Export, and choose Markdown and CSV; full-page databases export as CSV with a Markdown file per subpage. |
| 2Set up your ClickUp Workspace | Create the Workspace and the Space that will hold the imported Folder; Free Forever has no member cap. |
| 3Run the Notion importer | Workspace settings, Import / Export, Import from apps, Notion. Databases land in one Folder, fields become Text custom fields and pages become Docs. |
| 4Rebuild fields and workflows | Convert the imported Text custom fields to proper types, recreate statuses and automations, and reattach anything the importer skipped (inline comments, attachments, buttons). |
| 5Reset sharing and permissions | Re-invite your team and set workspace, base or sheet-level permissions; none of this carries over. |
| 6Cancel the old plan | Once your team is working day-to-day in the new tool, cancel the old subscription. |
What this path doesn’t do for you:
Everything imports except inline database comments, attachments and button fields, and every Notion field becomes a Text custom field until you convert it.
