Key takeaways
- Models. ClickUp model choice: ClickUp Max, Claude, GPT, Gemini, you pick. TODO for AI includes Claude, GPT, Gemini and Grok on paid plans. Pick the model for each job; let another review the result.
- Benchmark. TODO for AI scored 91.0% on Terminal-Bench 2.1 with Opus 5.5 (high) (own harness, 81/89 tasks, 2026-10-26; not an official leaderboard submission).
- Price. ClickUp pricing: Business $12 per user billed yearly or $19 monthly. Brain AI adds $9 yearly or $18 monthly per user, Everything AI $28 yearly or $68 monthly, plus AI Super Credits at $10 per 10,000. TODO for AI has a free plan (Claude Sonnet only), then Starter $20, Pro $100 or Ultra $200 a month with the supported multi-vendor catalog.
- Shared business work. TODO for AI: Your whole team and its AI agents, on one board. Shared company context, brand voice and memory. AI working in your connected tools, signed-in browser and machines.
- Included usage. One shared pool of credits, with the cloud VM and browser included. Personal session and weekly limits apply. Credit usage depends on the model; see the pricing page for plan details.
- Who should pick which. Pick ClickUp if ClickUp is already your team's home for tasks, docs and chat. Pick TODO for AI if the tasks need a shell, a repo or a deploy.

Plans and usage limitsWhat ClickUp is, and where it stops
ClickUp went further than most work platforms: Super Agents are addressable like people. You @mention one in a comment, assign it a task, put it on a schedule, and it works with the same objects your team does. You can choose the model or let Brain route between Claude, GPT and Gemini, and MCP works in both directions so an outside agent can drive the workspace.
It is still workspace-bound. The agent operates on tasks, docs and connected tools through a skills catalogue; it never gets a command line, a machine, or your browser session. And the money stacks: a workspace seat, then an AI seat at $9 to $28 yearly ($18 to $68 monthly), then Super Credits when the agents are busy.
Teams already running ClickUp who want agents inside their existing boards.
Three reasons ClickUp users look elsewhere
Agents do what the skills catalogue covers on workspace objects and connected tools. An open-ended task that needs a script written and run has nowhere to go.
Workspace seat, AI seat, then AI Super Credits. Predicting next month means predicting how much the agents worked.
No shell on your laptop, no cloud VM, no session in your Chrome. Everything happens inside ClickUp or through a connector.
