ClickUp alternative · $7 per user / mo (Unlimited)

Looking for a free ClickUp alternative?

ClickUp gates AI behind a $5/u/mo upgrade, on top of $7/u/mo for the base tier. OpenLoad ships project management (Kanban, Databases, Calendar) plus the editors ClickUp doesn't have (Slides, PDF, Image, Sites) and a Claude 4.5 Copilot — all free.

The math: ClickUp + ClickUp AI = $144/yr/seat. OpenLoad is $0, with every editor + AI included.

“ClickUp's interface was bloated and we never finished the migration. OpenLoad's Kanban + Database + automations did everything ClickUp Unlimited promised, just simpler.”

“The AI Copilot in OpenLoad writes my task descriptions from a one-line prompt. ClickUp wanted an extra $5/u/mo for that.”
