Switching from Trello to ClickUp

ClickUp has a native Trello importer (Workspace Settings → Import/Export → Trello) that pulls boards, lists, cards and attachments directly, and maps members by matching email addresses.

Switching from Trello to ClickUpVerified Sep 23, 2026

Quick verdict: Move to ClickUp once your team has outgrown a simple board and wants docs, native time tracking, Gantt charts and dashboards in the same place. The native importer makes this one of the more straightforward migrations in this category.

Switching Cost & Friction Estimator

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.

    Why teams move from Trello to ClickUp

    All-in-one platform

    Docs, chat, time tracking and dashboards included.

    Native Gantt charts

    Included on the Unlimited plan.

    Native Trello importer

    Boards, lists, cards and attachments transfer automatically.

    How the migration actually works

    ClickUp’s AI features cost extra beyond the base seat price, unlike Trello’s AI which is bundled into Standard.

    StepWhat you do
    1Export your dataExport tasks, boards or issues from the old tool — CSV export or a native importer, if one exists, both start here.
    2Create your ClickUp WorkspaceCreate your ClickUp Workspace, then use Settings → Import/Export → Trello to connect your Trello account directly.
    3Confirm the import and rebuild statusesCheck that lists, cards and attachments mapped correctly, then rebuild any automations, custom fields and dashboards Trello did not have.
    4Rebuild automations and custom fieldsRecreate any automation rules, custom fields or statuses the import did not carry over.
    5Invite your teamAdd team members and set permissions; confirm everyone can see the projects they need.
    6Run one full project before cancellingKeep both tools live until a full project cycle runs cleanly in the new one, then cancel the old plan.

    What this path doesn’t do for you:

    Trello’s simplicity and included AI have no cost equivalent in ClickUp — its AI is a separate paid add-on, and the extra features mean more setup, not less.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Does ClickUp import my Trello boards automatically?

    Yes — its native Trello importer pulls boards, lists, cards and attachments, and maps members by email.

    Will it cost more?

    Yes, $2 a seat a month more, though you gain docs, time tracking, Gantt charts and dashboards.

    Do I need to pay extra for AI?

    Yes, ClickUp’s Brain AI is a separate add-on starting at $9/seat/mo; Trello includes AI in its base Standard price.

    Do custom fields and automations carry over?

    Rarely in full. Simple field types usually map across an import tool where one exists, but automations, custom statuses and integrations are typically rebuilt by hand in the new tool.
