ClickUp vs Monday.com: Pricing Compared in 2026

Verified 2026-07-27  ·  by Sebastian Bru

Both tools do broadly the same job. The gap that matters for most teams is what they cost once seat minimums and user caps are applied.

What each one costs your team

Cheapest paid plan from each, on annual billing, with vendor seat minimums included.

ClickUp plans

The cheapest serious option per seat. Enormous feature set, which is either the main attraction or the reason teams abandon it.

What neither pricing page tells you

ClickUp: Monthly billing costs 43% more than annual on Unlimited and 58% more on Business. The steepest annual penalty in this category.
ClickUp: The free plan has only 100 MB of total storage, which a handful of attachments will exhaust.
Monday.com: Every paid plan requires a minimum of 3 seats. A solo user on Basic pays $27 a month, not $9.
Monday.com: Seats are sold in blocks. Going from 3 to 4 people can force you into the next pricing tier.
Before you compare on price alone The cheapest plan is not the same plan on both sides. Check what each tier actually includes before treating these numbers as equivalent.
