Tuff vs ClickUp
Tuff vs ClickUp: the work and the talk, without the settings
ClickUp does everything, and asks you to set most of it up. Tuff does what a team uses every day — tasks, chat, docs and announcements in each project — and opens ready, at one flat price for the whole workspace.
Free for two people. No card needed.
What it costs.
ClickUp’s prices from clickup.com/pricing, where Core is listed at $12 per person a month billed yearly before its discounts, read on 26 October 2026. Tuff’s are per workspace, in US dollars, plus tax where it applies. All of Tuff’s plans
Everything in one place.
