Jira vs. ClickUp
Jira is built for every member of your software team to plan, track, release, and support great software with confidence. See how it stacks up against ClickUp.
Jira provides the extensibility of an open, diverse toolchain and the ease of an all-in-one
Unlike ClickUp, we believe there's no one app to rule them all. Customize Jira to match the exact needs of your team by combining flexible workflows with our thousands of apps and integrations.

Jira's free plan gives you access to almost every feature for up to 10 users with no strings attached. Jira doesn’t rely on frustrating feature limitations to force you to upgrade.

Developer and agile expertise
Jira is designed with agile best practices in mind

“Atlassian has changed the way [our] teams work and evolve. The products have especially helped the teams that are still growing their technical maturity. Departments that were struggling with technology and continuous improvement don’t now.”

Products tailored to the needs of your team
ClickUp thinks one product can solve the needs of every team
Every great team needs tools specially crafted to their needs. That’s why we build custom-tailored versions of our products for every type of team. That’s why we have Jira for your software team, Jira Work Management for your business teams, and Jira Service Management for your IT Teams. Combined together, our platform connects the dots between work happening across your org on dev, IT, and business teams.

Scale your way of working
Jira is designed to grow with your organization
Every organization needs software that can scale beyond a single team. Jira offers the flexibility to choose whether you standardize on a way of working across teams or give teams autonomy to design their own ways of working. Mix and match however your organization needs.
“Atlassian solutions balance power and ease of use. There’s not many tools that do that well and continue to meet your needs as you grow.”

Director of Program Management, VSCO
