The short version

  • Only ClickUp has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Autodesk Construction Cloud autodesk Construction Cloud has been rebranded as Autodesk Forma and the ACC product names have changed, so existing documentation and training refer to superseded names; ClickUp the free plan is capped at 60MB of storage, 5 spaces, 1 form and 3 whiteboards, so the limits are structural rather than just a seat count
  • They diverge on capability: Autodesk Construction Cloud covers Document management, ClickUp covers Multiple view types.
