Notion vs ClickUp

Notion pages are built from blocks, so docs, wikis and meeting notes look clean and stay easy to restructure, and they publish to the web as simple sites. ClickUp Docs can become wikis and link to tasks, but feel less polished to write in.

ClickUp ships projects ready to run: assignees, statuses, dependencies, Gantt and workload views, sprints, time tracking and goals. Notion builds projects from databases with board, timeline and calendar views, which is flexible but leaves time tracking and capacity planning to you.

Notion databases with relations, rollups and formulas let a team model almost anything, from a CRM to a content calendar. ClickUp has custom fields, relationships and formula fields, but its structure of Spaces, Folders and Lists is built around tasks.

Notion starts as a blank page and most people write in it on day one, although a big workspace takes deliberate setup. ClickUp's many views, settings and ClickApps make it the steeper app to learn and usually need someone to own the setup.

ClickUp Free Forever covers unlimited members and tasks but only 60 MB of storage. Notion Free gives one person unlimited pages, but once 2 or more members join a block limit applies, uploads stop at 5 MB and page history is 7 days.

ClickUp Core is $9 a user a month billed yearly ($12 monthly) and Business $17 ($25 monthly). Notion Plus is $10 a member billed yearly and Business $20, and paying monthly costs up to 20% more.

ClickUp Chat gives channels and direct messages next to tasks and docs, so a small team can skip a separate chat app. Notion has comments and mentions on pages but no team chat.

ClickUp Brain comes on every plan with a monthly credit allowance, and Business adds unlimited standard AI models and 1,500 credits a user; extra credits are $10 per 10,000. Notion AI, Notion Agent and AI Meeting Notes come with Business at $20, and Custom Agents run on Notion credits at $10 per 1,000.
