ClickUp pricing
ClickUp pricing, actually explained
ClickUp’s sticker price is low, but AI is a separate per-seat add-on ($9–28/user/month) and upgrades are workspace-wide — the real bill is plan plus add-ons for everyone.

Openbook replaces ClickUp inside a full agent-first workspace — boards, docs, chat and 18 room types, with AI agents that write stories, build changes and open pull requests. Start free, then upgrade one shared plan when you need more work. There are no extra seat charges.
