ClickUp vs ConnectWise
The short version
- Only ClickUp has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
- Each has a real cost: 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; ConnectWise rMM, backup and cybersecurity products require filling out a quote request form rather than showing a price; only ScreenConnect remote support pricing is shown directly on the site, per connectwise.com, August 2026
