I use ClickUp every single day to keep my work organized. It’s where I manage my schedule, prioritize tasks, and keep projects moving across our small team. What I appreciate most is how much the platform has improved over the last year. It feels like they're constantly adding useful features without making the product harder to use.
The AI tools have become a surprisingly helpful part of my workflow. I often have a mix of product work, fundraising, customer follow-ups, and internal tasks all competing for attention. Instead of staring at a long list trying to figure out what to tackle first, I use ClickUp AI to summarize, organize, and prioritize everything. It helps me focus on the work that will actually move the business forward instead of getting distracted by smaller tasks.
Another feature I rely on is the Gmail and Google Workspace integration. A lot of my day starts with emails from customers, investors, or partners. Being able to turn an email into a ClickUp task in a couple of clicks means nothing slips through the cracks. Everything stays connected, and I don't have to waste time copying information between my inbox and my task manager. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
My biggest frustration with ClickUp is the way some of the add-ons are priced. Running a startup means we're always keeping an eye on costs, so it would be great if certain features could be purchased on a per-user basis instead of being applied across the entire workspace.
For example, there are times when only one or two people on the team need access to things like more advanced AI features or reporting. Right now, enabling those features often means paying for everyone, which makes it harder to justify the extra cost. We've actually held off on turning on a few features because of that, even though they would have been useful.
That said, I had a good experience with ClickUp's support team when I reached out about our options. They were quick to respond and worked with us to find a plan that made more sense for our team. I still think there's room for improvement, though. Giving admins the ability to assign and pay for certain add-ons only for the people who need them would make the platform much more startup-friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
