Which one is for you
Pick ClickUp if
- Fits if your team pays for a task app, a docs app and a chat app and wants one bill
- Works for teams where one person wants a list, another a board and the boss a Gantt chart
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you just want a simple shared to-do list, as work sits in spaces, folders and lists
- Not for you if slow screens drive you mad, as speed is a common complaint and search can take 5 to 10 seconds
- Pricey if you lean on the AI, as each plan's monthly credits run out and extra ones are $10 per 10,000
- Tight if you attach files on the free plan, where storage stops at 60MB, with 5 spaces, 1 form and 3 whiteboards
- Watch out: the whole workspace upgrades together, timeline view needs Business at $17, and SSO is Enterprise or Max only
Pick Perdoo if
- Fits if your team is 5 people or fewer and wants OKRs without paying
- Works for companies that tie goals to Jira or Salesforce
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you are one person buying paid, as the minimum is 5 licences
- Tight if you use AI a lot, as it stops at 20k tokens on Free and 250k on Premium
- Watch out: the page loaded in euros here, and the dollar rates are the first tier, up to 24 users
- Watch out: paid trials go through sales for a guided trial
How we grade them
| 3.0GPAClickUpVery good | 2.6GPAPerdooGood | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CCore is $9 a person a month on yearly billing, right on this category's $9 middle and well outside the $5.40 cheapest quarter, so it's ordinary money. For that you get unlimited storage, Gantt charts, time tracking and 1,000 AI credits a person. Timeline view and advanced dashboards need Business at $17. | CPremium is $9 a user a month on yearly billing, dead middle for the category, with a 5-licence minimum, so $45 a month for the smallest team. |
| Free plan and trial | CUnlimited tasks and unlimited members for nothing. Then you meet the caps: 60MB of storage, which a few slide decks fill, 5 spaces, 1 form, 3 whiteboards, and AI only as a 500-credit trial. | BFree for up to 5 users with OKRs, KPIs, projects and the mobile apps. AI is capped at 20k tokens a month. |
| Features | ATasks in 15-plus views, list, board, Gantt, calendar, table, then docs and wikis, chat, whiteboards, dashboards, goals, time tracking, automations and AI credits in one workspace. No other tool here covers that much, though timeline view and advanced dashboards need Business at $17. | BOKRs and KPIs, strategy maps, projects, meetings, check-ins and reviews. The listing shows no gap in the core work. |
| Ease of use | B4.68 from nearly 10,000 App Store ratings, just under the 4.7 an A needs, and the written reviews are why it goes no higher. Work lives in spaces, then folders, then lists, and one reviewer was still lost after a week of how-to videos. | CNo store rating on record. Objectives and strategy maps have to be built before it works. |
| Platforms and integrations | AWeb, Mac, Windows, Linux, iPhone, Android and a Chrome extension, which is the longest list in this category. There's a public API, and it hooks into Slack, GitHub, GitLab, HubSpot, Google Drive, Figma, Zoom and Microsoft Teams. | BWeb, iPhone and Android, with Slack, Teams, Jira, Asana, Salesforce and HubSpot links. No desktop app is listed. |
| Best for | teams that want everything in one app | OKRs for a team of five or fewer |

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
