Alternatives to ClickUp

The best ClickUp alternatives in 2026

ClickUp does nearly everything, and asks you to set most of it up before the work starts. Here are the tools teams move to when they want less to configure, what each costs ten people and what each is good at.

We make Tuff, so it comes first. The others are here on their merits, and some do things Tuff does not.
