ClickUp

- Gantt charts, time tracking and goals require Unlimited at $7 per user per month billed yearly

- SAML SSO, custom roles and HIPAA compliance are Enterprise only
- AI is charged separately, at $9 per user per month for Brain and $28 for Everything AI
- Monthly billing is substantially dearer, at $10 and $19 against the yearly rates
Speakeasy
- No self-serve pricing is published; every plan requires a sales conversation.
- The product pivoted away from its original SDK-generation offering, so past documentation and customers built on that use case are no longer the focus.
- Requires integration with an existing identity provider such as Okta or Entra ID to be useful, so it is not a standalone solution.
- No published free tier or trial pricing was found.
