ClickUp rebuilt its pricing in 2026. The Unlimited plan is gone for new workspaces, AI is now bundled into every plan as monthly credits, and there is a new top tier called Max. Below: what each plan costs, what you actually get, where the limits bite, and which plan fits your team.

ClickUp AI (Brain²): how credits work
On the new plans you don't buy AI separately. Each plan includes a pooled monthly credit allowance shared across the whole workspace. Credits renew monthly and do not roll over.
What consumes credits
Chatting with Brain² does not use credits. Credits pay for automatic AI work. ClickUp's own estimates:
- AI Fields, AI Assign & Prioritize: about 10 credits per use
- AI Dashboard Cards: about 20 credits per use
- Image generation: about 100 credits per image
- Super Agents and Autopilot Agents: 100–300 credits per run, including runs that only return an answer
⚡
Budget by agent runs. A 10-person Business workspace gets 15,000 credits a month, roughly 50–150 agent runs if nothing else uses them. When credits run out, credit-based features pause until renewal unless you buy a top-up ($10 per 10,000 credits). Admins get alerts at 80%, 90% and 100%.
Older plans: Unlimited and classic Business
If your workspace was created before the switch, you may still see the classic lineup. There, AI is a separate add-on billed for every member.
| Classic plan | Yearly | Monthly | AI |
|---|---|---|---|
| Unlimited | $7 | $10 | Add-on required |
| Business | $12 | $19 | Add-on required |
| Brain AI add-on | +$9 | — | 1,500 credits / user |
| Everything AI add-on | +$28 | — | 5,000 credits / user + unlimited AI fields, Notetaker |
✅
Should you switch? If your team doesn't use AI, staying on classic Unlimited ($7) is the cheapest paid option available. If you already pay for Business plus Brain AI ($21 per user), the new Business at $17 with AI included is cheaper.
What a 10-person team actually pays
Annual totals at list prices, before tax and extra credits.
| Setup (10 users) | Billed yearly | Billed monthly | AI included |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free Forever | $0 | $0 | 500 credits, one time |
| Core | $1,080 | $1,440 | 10,000 credits / mo, Brain² trial |
| Business | $2,040 | $3,000 | 15,000 credits / mo + Brain² |
| Max | $12,000 | $14,400 | 100,000 credits / mo, unlimited AI features |
| Classic Unlimited, no AI | $840 | $1,200 | Trial only |
| Classic Business + Brain AI | $2,520 | — | 15,000 credits / mo |
Hidden costs to check
- Every member is a paid seat. Upgrading applies to the entire workspace.
- Monthly billing costs 17–33% more than yearly, depending on the plan.
- Credit top-ups for heavy agent use, at $10 per 10,000 credits.
- "Trial" features on Core. Dashboards, workload and timeline views are only trials. If you need them, budget for Business.
Which ClickUp plan should you choose?
Free Forever
Solo users, students, or teams testing ClickUp. Upgrade when 60 MB of storage or 5 Spaces gets tight.
Core
Teams of 3–15 who need tasks, docs, Gantt and basic automations, without advanced reporting or daily AI.
Business
The best value for most companies. You get dashboards, workload planning, timesheets, and AI included.
Enterprise
Companies that need SAML SSO, audit logs, data residency, HIPAA or white labeling.
Max
Only if AI agents do a large share of your team's work. Otherwise, the cost is hard to justify.

FAQ
Is ClickUp free?
Yes. Free Forever costs $0, never expires, and includes unlimited tasks and members. Its main limits are 60 MB of storage, 5 Spaces, 100 automation actions per month and a one-time 500 AI credits.
How much does ClickUp cost per user?
Core is $9 per user per month and Business is $17 when billed yearly ($12 and $25 monthly). Max is $100 ($120 monthly), and Enterprise is priced on request.
Is ClickUp AI included in paid plans?
On the new plans, yes. Every plan includes a monthly pool of AI credits, and Brain² with premium models is included from Business. On the classic plans, AI is a paid add-on: Brain AI costs $9 and Everything AI costs $28 per user per month.
Is the Unlimited plan still available?
Not for new workspaces, where it was replaced by Core. Existing workspaces on Unlimited keep their plan and price until ClickUp notifies them of a change.
Can I upgrade only my own account?
No. ClickUp upgrades the entire workspace, so every member is billed on the paid plan.
What happens when AI credits run out?
Credit-based features such as Super Agents and AI Fields pause until the next monthly renewal. You can buy more at $10 per 10,000 credits or enable auto top-up.
Bottom line
For most teams, Business at $17 is now the plan to beat, because it includes the reporting, workload tools and AI that previously cost $21 per user. Core fits small teams on a budget, and Free Forever is still one of the most generous free plans in project management. Max is a niche plan for AI-first teams. If you're on classic Unlimited and don't use AI, there's no reason to switch yet.
