Switch from ClickUp to Workel. A smaller app for the work you do every day.
ClickUp packs in a view, an automation or a report for almost everything. Workel does less, on purpose: tasks, chat, docs, files, a calendar and calls, ready from the first day.
Which one fits your team. An honest answer, both ways.
Pick Workel if
- You want a smaller tool: each project has a board, a list and a calendar, with its chat, docs and files beside it
- You keep files in folders, inside the project they belong to
- You want one calendar the whole team shares, not only each person's own
- You want a flat price as you grow: Team is $99 a month for everyone
- You're a small team and want to pay less a person: Pro is $8 a person a month ($7 billed yearly)
Stay with ClickUp if
- You need many ways to see the work: Gantt, timeline, workload, mind map and more
- You track time on tasks, with timesheets from Business
- You automate: rules on every plan, with more runs on higher plans
- You report on dashboards and track goals
- You connect a lot: more than 50 built-in integrations, and over 1,000 tools in all
What Workel doesn't do yet: time tracking, rule-based automations, guest accounts for people outside your team, or phone apps (iOS and Android are coming soon).
Workel and ClickUp, side by side. What each covers, and what it costs.

A team of 10, a month
ClickUp is moving to new plans. Its pricing page showed some visitors the older list (Unlimited, $10 a person a month or $7 billed yearly); its help center says new workspaces start on the plans above. ClickUp's plans, prices and features were checked on 19 October 2026 on its own website (pricing, plans and pricing, views, chat, SyncUps, docs, attachments, Planner, imports) and may have changed since. Prices are a month, in US dollars. Workel's come from our pricing page.

Yes. Export your lists from ClickUp as a CSV, then import it in Workel under Settings, Import / export. Each list becomes a project, and its statuses become board columns.

No. Workel has no time tracking, rule-based automations, dashboards or goals. If your team runs on those, ClickUp is the better fit.
