With ClickUp you can manage any number of workspaces – except with the free basic version, which is limited to five workspaces. It’s up to you how many users you integrate into a space and how many tasks are listed and processed in all plans. For each workspace, you can individually define which apps and board elements you need and invite team members via email address, deciding how much access each should have. Additionally, there are over 50 available native integrations of third-party programs such as Zapier or Google Drive to ensure an optimal workflow.
Here’s an overview of further features of this impressive alternative to Jira:
- Mind mapping
- Real-time collaboration
- Unlimited cloud storage (free version: 100 MB)
- Docs and Wikis
- Email client integration
- Chats
- Time and goal tracking
- Desktop recording (screenshot and video)
ClickUp can basically be used as a free alternative to Jira because no payments are required for the basic edition. All you need is a ClickUp account, which you receive by entering a valid email address. However, the version has some key limitations in terms of app integration, security, and feature set that makes purchasing a paid plan essential for larger projects. For example, the Enterprise edition comes with exclusive features like two-factor authentication, prioritized support, and white-labeling option.
