ClickUp to monday.com is the harder direction of this pair: monday.com doesn’t offer a comparable native ClickUp importer, so this migration relies on CSV exports and manual rebuilding.
Teams that found ClickUp’s depth of options overwhelming often prefer monday.com’s more guided, color-coded board experience.
monday.com’s marketplace of industry-specific templates can be a faster starting point for non-technical departments like HR or marketing.
Companies also using monday CRM or monday Dev may prefer keeping project tracking inside the same monday.com ecosystem for cross-product reporting.
Estimate the real hidden cost of moving from ClickUp to Monday.com, not just the subscription price.
Without a native importer, this migration runs through CSV exports and manual reconstruction of anything beyond flat task lists.
| Step | What happens |
|---|---|
| 1Export ClickUp lists to CSV/Excel | Export each ClickUp Space or List to CSV, since there’s no native ClickUp-to-monday.com import tool. |
| 2Clean and reformat the CSVs | Adjust column headers and data formatting so the CSVs match monday.com’s expected import structure, since field types don’t map automatically between the two tools. |
| 3Import CSVs into new monday.com boards | Use monday.com’s CSV import feature to create boards from the cleaned files, then review the results for formatting issues. |
| 4Rebuild custom fields and automations | Manually recreate ClickUp’s custom fields, automations, and dashboard widgets as their monday.com equivalents, since none of this comes through in a CSV export. |
| 5Reapply permissions and guest access | Set up team, board, and guest permissions in monday.com to match who had access to what in ClickUp. |
| 6Run a parallel period before retiring ClickUp | Keep ClickUp active for at least one full cycle while the team validates the new monday.com boards before fully cutting over. |
Here’s how ClickUp and Monday.com plans stack up as of September 2026, from free tier to the mid-market plan most switching teams land on.
| Plan | ClickUp | Monday.com |
|---|---|---|
| Free plan | Free Forever: $0 — unlimited tasks, 60MB storage | Free: $0 — up to 2 seats, 3 boards |
| Entry paid tier | Unlimited: $7/user/month billed yearly ($10 billed monthly) | Basic: $9/seat/month billed annually (3-seat minimum) |
| Mid tier | Business: $12/user/month billed yearly ($19 billed monthly), adds advanced automations and dashboards | Standard: $12/seat/month billed annually, adds automations and timeline views |
monday.com’s Basic and Standard tiers cost more per seat than ClickUp’s comparable plans, so a switch here is rarely about saving money; it’s about interface preference or ecosystem fit.
monday.com trades some of ClickUp’s customization depth for a more approachable, visually guided experience.
| Feature | ClickUp | Monday.com equivalent |
|---|---|---|
| Custom fields & views | Broader set of field types and views, including whiteboards and mind maps | Solid set of column types and views |
| Automation depth | More automation triggers/actions, higher caps on paid tiers | Visual automation builder, capped actions per tier |
| Native importer coverage | Dedicated native Monday.com importer available (reverse direction) | No equivalent native ClickUp importer |
| Docs/whiteboard built-in | Docs and whiteboards both built in | Docs available, no native whiteboard |
| Pricing per seat | Generally lower per-seat cost at comparable tiers | Generally higher per-seat cost at comparable tiers |
No, monday.com does not offer a dedicated ClickUp importer; the standard path is exporting ClickUp lists to CSV and importing those into new monday.com boards.
Only basic field types transfer reasonably well through CSV; more complex custom fields (formulas, relationships between tasks) need to be manually rebuilt in monday.com.
They don’t transfer at all; every automation needs to be manually recreated using monday.com’s automation builder after the data import.
Yes, several third-party project-management migration services specialize in ClickUp-to-monday.com transfers and can handle field mapping and automation rebuilding for a fee.
For a mid-size team, plan on two to four weeks: CSV cleanup and import, manual field and automation rebuilding, permission setup, and a parallel validation period before retiring ClickUp.
