Movement

This is the first edition on this tier, so no move can be computed for ClickUp yet. From the next edition this section shows, per buyer segment and per category, whether its share moved by more than the measured noise floor.

By model

How each model treated ClickUp across every prompt where it was named for a mid-market B2B company. Fourteen models, six prompts per category.

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“The best client onboarding platform for a company with a limited budget is ClickUp, which offers a free plan and paid plans starting at $7/user/month.” Llama 4 Maverick · Client onboarding · budget prompt · first choice
“My recommendation: Start with HubSpot Sales Hub or ClickUp - both offer strong free/freemium tiers” MiniMax M2.5 · Sales enablement · budget prompt · first choice
“ClickUp (Best Overall Value) ... I'd recommend starting with: 1. ClickUp or Notion” MiniMax M2.5 · Knowledge base · budget prompt · first choice
“ClickUp (Best All-Around Value) ... best balance between high-end features and affordability” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Marketing resource mgt · budget prompt · first choice

And against it

Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.

“Users have criticized ClickUp specifically for lacking basic organizational features like "sub-folders," making deep knowledge bases messy” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Knowledge base · negative prompt · hard negative
“Tools like Jira or ClickUp are built for internal developers or project managers—not external clients.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Client onboarding · negative prompt · hard negative
“they are not true MRMs... lack automated financial reconciliation/ledger-level budget tracking” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Marketing resource mgt · negative prompt · hard negative
“These are general project management tools, not onboarding platforms” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Client onboarding · negative prompt · hard negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named ClickUp. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, five of the fourteen in this edition, so these counts come from 202 of the 206 answers that named ClickUp and are not a share of its labels.

How it is countedHide how it is counted

Every page clickup.com exposes, subdomains included. Kind is read from the address and title. The last 90 days, the latest date and the twelve months count pages by when they were published, from the site's feeds, a date in the address, or the page's own publication date, read from up to a hundred of its most recently changed pages; a page that says only when it last changed is counted in its kind but not in when, so the recent counts are a floor, and a kind none of whose pages gives a publication date reads undated. An event counts as online when its address or title says so (webinar, on demand, virtual or online summit); a conference, summit, trade show, expo or roadshow that does not say so is counted as a conference or event, which on a vendor's site is mostly in person.

Is this your product?

Claim this page

Claiming is free and changes nothing in the data. A claimed page shows a verified contact who is told when each edition publishes and when ClickUp's standing changes by more than the noise floor; the right to propose corrections to the vendor table, meaning names the judge wrote that should or should not read as ClickUp, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.

What a new claim receivesHide what a new claim receives

A new claim receives the current edition's vendor brief for ClickUp by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:

  • where ClickUp is named, by buyer and by framing, and which cells hold its first choices;
  • the claims the models make when they name it, ranked, with the strongest and the weakest quoted;
  • its vocabulary against the segment leader's, and the pages the models cited;
  • who was chosen in the answers that did not name ClickUp, and every reason the record gives;
  • a battlecard for each top rival: the head-to-head split, why they win, and the reservation quoted against them;
  • one page of published figures cleared to show a buyer.
The subscriber app

A verification link goes to your work email; an address at clickup.com is approved on the spot, any other is reviewed by hand. Your email is never published. Claiming gives no say over labels, shares, verdicts or which quotes appear.
