ClickUp pricing: Free, from $7/seat/mo. Free plan: yes — Free Forever. AI (Brain / Brain2): separate paid add-on: Brain AI $9/user/mo, or Everything AI $28/user/mo (monthly billing). Rated 4.6/5 on G2 (14,254 reviews). Each figure links to the comparison it was verified in.
The seats are, at $7/seat/mo with a Free Forever plan, but the AI add-on costs more than the seat: Brain AI is $9/user/mo and Everything AI $28/user/mo on monthly billing.
Per-user add-ons are where software bills creep, because they get switched on for everyone at rollout and then nobody reviews them. Treat AI like any expensive license. Give it to the people who ask for it, check after a month who actually used it, and move idle licenses to someone who will. That's also why monthly billing on the add-on is useful: you aren't committed to a year of seats you guessed at. AI pricing and usage limits shift often, so recheck both before you budget, and read Asana vs ClickUp if you're weighing the two.

HelpCompare records pricing and feature data from vendor pricing pages and documentation at the time each comparison is researched, then re-checks it on a published schedule. This entity page is generated from those records — it does not introduce any figure that has not already been verified on a comparison page.
