ClickUp

Builds one app for team projects, docs and chat

Overview

ClickUp makes work management software that puts tasks, documents, chat, whiteboards, and dashboards in one app, so teams can drop the separate tools they use for each. A built-in AI assistant reads a team's own tasks and messages to answer questions, draft emails and documents, and finish routine work without anyone switching apps. Teams plan projects in lists, boards, calendars, or Gantt charts, set up automations for repeat steps, and connect outside apps such as Slack and GitHub so updates land in one place. Customers pay a monthly fee per user, and higher tiers add more storage, tighter admin and security controls, and heavier AI use. ClickUp was founded in 2017 and is based in San Diego.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Pay ceilings jumped: in May 2026, ClickUp announced $1 million cash salary bands for staff running AI systems.
  • Its AI agents gained coding skills: ClickUp bought AI coding startup Codegen in December 2025 to power Super Agents.
  • Sales have real scale: yearly subscription revenue passed $300 million, with over 20 million users, by December 2025.

What critics are saying

  • Good results don't protect jobs: ClickUp cut 22% of staff in May 2026, saying business was its strongest ever.
  • Security lapses reach customers: in April 2026, public app settings exposed 893 customer emails and one customer's live access key.
  • Paper equity is pegged to 2021: ClickUp's last announced funding round valued it at $4 billion in October 2021.

Why ZoomInfo (GTM) stock is trading up today.

Why ZoomInfo (GTM) stock is trading up today. Kayode omotosho /. October 9, 2026 What happened? Shares of go-to-market intelligence provider ZoomInfo (NASDAQ:GTM) jumped 2.5% in the afternoon session after the company announced a native integration with ClickUp through GTM.AI, while technology equities broadly rebounded from a sharp sell-off sparked by concerns over artificial intelligence revenue expansion. As detailed in the BusinessWire announcement, the new integration allows mutual clients to bring verified company and contact data directly into ClickUp. According to the corporate release, the connection operates through a connector based on the Model Context Protocol, which enables software applications to seamlessly exchange data and context. Industry analysts note that a native integration connects software systems directly, allowing critical information to transfer between platforms without manual input. The press release confirmed that through the connector launched on GTM.AI, shared clients can now access and use verified company and contact data directly within their ClickUp workflows. Providing macroeconomic context for the stock's strength, CNBC reported that major equity averages moved higher at the open on Friday as market sentiment stabilized across the SaaS sector. According to Reuters, just a day earlier, shares across the artificial intelligence and broader technology space had faced heightened selling pressure following an OpenAI revenue report that rattled investor confidence regarding near-term monetization. However, CNBC noted the pullback proved short-lived as dip-buyers re-entered the market, viewing the valuation reset as an attractive entry point and highlighting an enduring investor appetite for leading technology firms. After the initial pop, the shares cooled down to $3.91, up 0.9% from the previous close. What is the market telling us. ZoomInfo's shares are extremely volatile and have had 40 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today's move indicates the market considers this news meaningful but not something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business. The previous big move we wrote about was 9 days ago when the stock gained 4.3% on the news that the Bureau of Economic Analysis reported a 0.9% increase in personal consumption expenditures for August, signaling resilient consumer demand alongside steady economic expansion. The latest report from the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis showed that consumer outlays advanced strongly despite a modest 0.2% uptick in personal income. Underlying inflation trends also remained relatively subdued, with the core Personal Consumption Expenditures price index - a key inflation gauge watched closely by policymakers - increasing 0.2% month-over-month. Supporting the positive economic picture, the third estimate of second-quarter gross domestic product confirmed the economy expanded at an annualized rate of 2.2%. Together, these indicators suggest that households continue to spend at a healthy pace, alleviating concerns over an impending consumer slowdown and bolstering market confidence across retail and consumer sectors. ZoomInfo is down 59.4% since the beginning of the year, and at $3.91 per share, it is trading 66.9% below its 52-week high of $11.80 from November 2025. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of ZoomInfo's shares 5 years ago would now be looking at only $62.45. ONE MORE THING: The $21 AI Application Stock Wall Street Forgot. While Wall Street obsesses over who's building AI, one company is already using it to print money. And nobody's paying attention. AI chip stocks trade at ridiculous valuations. This company processes a trillion consumer signals monthly using AI and trades at a third of the price. The gap won't last. The institutions will figure it out. You need to see this first.

Innovation structuralization methods and tools Subscribe. On September 14, 2026, ClickUp announced "ClickUp Mind-to-Market," a new innovation framework designed to accelerate the transition from "Creative Brainstorming" to "Commercial Implementation." The methodology centers on "Whiteboard-to-Workflow" automation, where professional teams use free-form canvases to generate ideas that are then synthesized into "Product Requirement Blueprints" via ClickUp Brain. These blueprints are automatically decomposed into "Hierarchical Task Lists" and "Gantt-based Launch Schedules," ensuring that creative concepts are systematically moved into the execution phase. ClickUp will showcase the full implementation of this framework at the upcoming ClickUp LevelUp 2026 conference on October 15, 2026.

Kodah and ClickUp A partnership built to win.

Kodah and ClickUp A partnership built to win. Number one in EMEA. Number two globally. Top performing ClickUp sales partner globally in 2026. Diamond status. Those are not small milestones. They represent years of building, learning, delivering and growing alongside a partner that has played a huge role in Kodah's journey. Kodah Business Automation Ltd is incredibly proud to launch the Kodah partner series with ClickUp. Not simply because of what Kodah Business Automation Ltd has achieved, but because of the relationship behind those achievements. A partnership worth celebrating. Kodah is a Diamond ClickUp Solution Partner, ranked number one in EMEA in 2024 and 2025, number two globally, and named the top performing ClickUp sales partner globally in 2026. Kodah Business Automation Ltd is proud of every one of those milestones. They represent the trust ClickUp has placed in Kodah, the work its team has put in over the years and the results Kodah Business Automation Ltd has delivered for customers across South Africa, the United Kingdom and wider EMEA markets. But there is something else behind those numbers. A relationship that has grown with Kodah Business Automation Ltd. ClickUp has been part of Kodah's journey for more than six years. During that time, Kodah Business Automation Ltd has not simply sold or implemented a platform. Kodah Business Automation Ltd has worked alongside the ClickUp team to help organisations rethink how work moves through their business. That relationship matters enormously to Kodah Business Automation Ltd. And Kodah Business Automation Ltd think it is worth celebrating properly. The numbers speak for themselves. Here is what Kodah Business Automation Ltd has achieved with ClickUp: * Diamond ClickUp Solution Partner * Number one ClickUp partner in EMEA in 2024 * Number one ClickUp partner in EMEA in 2025 * Number two ClickUp partner globally * Top performing ClickUp sales partner globally in 2026 * More than six years of specialist ClickUp and automation experience * Delivery across South Africa, the United Kingdom and wider EMEA markets Those achievements give Kodah Business Automation Ltd every reason to brag a little. Because Kodah Business Automation Ltd has worked hard for them. More importantly, they show what can happen when a strong technology partner and a specialist implementation team share the same ambition for customers. More than a platform relationship. ClickUp has been central to how Kodah has developed its approach to operational execution. The platform gave Kodah Business Automation Ltd a powerful foundation for helping businesses bring structure to the way work is planned, managed and delivered. But the real opportunity has always been bigger than configuring a workspace. A business can have hundreds of tasks, dozens of dashboards and a beautifully organised workspace and still struggle to get work done. People chase updates. Handoffs get missed. Information sits in email or chat. Managers spend their time asking for status instead of managing exceptions. The problem is rarely that people do not have enough tasks. The problem is that work does not always have a clear path forward. That is where its work with ClickUp has become so valuable. From tracking work to moving it. This is one of the ideas that has shaped its ClickUp practice. Tracking work tells you what exists. Moving work helps make sure something actually happens next. Imagine a customer project that has been approved. The work is technically in the system. Tasks have owners. Dates have been added. But the project still does not move because someone needs to confirm a dependency, chase information from the customer or work out who owns the next step. The workspace has visibility. The business still has friction. A well designed ClickUp environment can create a much clearer path. The right project structure can be created consistently. Responsibilities can be made visible. Dependencies can be surfaced. Repeatable actions can be automated. Exceptions can be brought to the attention of the people who need to act. That is the difference between using ClickUp to record work and using it to support execution. Workflow before intelligence. One principle has become particularly important in its work with ClickUp: Before adding automation or AI, Kodah Business Automation Ltd need to understand how the work actually happens. Where does the process start? What needs to happen before it can move forward? Who owns the next step? What information needs to travel with the work? Where do things typically get stuck? Which parts are repetitive? What should improve when the workflow is working properly? Sometimes the answer is a sophisticated automation. Sometimes it is a better template. Sometimes it is clearer ownership. Sometimes it is simply getting rid of a process that never needed to exist in the first place. That is what makes the work interesting. Kodah Business Automation Ltd is not configuring ClickUp for the sake of configuring ClickUp. Kodah Business Automation Ltd is designing a better way for the business to execute. What that looks like in practice. Consider a professional services business that wins new work but takes too long to get customers into delivery. Sales has the information. The delivery team has the capability. But the handoff is inconsistent. Someone sends an email. Someone else creates the project. The structure changes depending on who sets it up. Delivery asks questions sales has already answered. The customer waits while the internal team coordinates. That is not a technology problem. It is an execution problem. ClickUp can help create a more consistent process around that journey. A project can start from an agreed structure. The right tasks, milestones and owners can be established. Important customer information can be available where the delivery team needs it. Dependencies can be made visible. If something is missing or a milestone is at risk, the right person can be prompted to act. And leadership can focus on what actually needs attention instead of chasing every update. The goal is not a more complicated workspace. The goal is a customer who gets to value faster. Why the relationship matters. The results Kodah Business Automation Ltd has achieved with ClickUp are something Kodah Business Automation Ltd is incredibly proud of. But what matters just as much is how Kodah Business Automation Ltd got there. Kodah Business Automation Ltd has built a relationship based on trust, shared ambition and a genuine focus on customer outcomes. ClickUp has continued to evolve. So have Kodah Business Automation Ltd. The conversations have changed from work management to automation, AI and what the next generation of business execution could look like. That gives Kodah Business Automation Ltd plenty to be excited about. Because Kodah Business Automation Ltd know the platform. Kodah Business Automation Ltd know the customers. And Kodah Business Automation Ltd has spent years learning what makes an implementation work in the real world, not just in a demonstration. That experience is hard earned. And it is one of the reasons this partnership means so much to Kodah Business Automation Ltd. What comes next. Being named the top performing ClickUp sales partner globally in 2026 is a milestone Kodah Business Automation Ltd is proud to celebrate. But Kodah Business Automation Ltd do not see it as the finish line. It raises the bar. Its focus is still on helping organisations build better ways of working, reduce unnecessary coordination and create systems that support people instead of giving them more work to manage. As ClickUp continues to expand its automation and AI capabilities, the opportunity becomes even more interesting. Kodah Business Automation Ltd can help customers decide where automation makes sense, where AI can genuinely add value and where a simpler workflow would be the better answer. The technology will continue to change. The need for good operational thinking will not. Proud of what Kodah Business Automation Ltd has built together. Kodah Business Automation Ltd is proud of what Kodah has achieved with ClickUp. Number one in EMEA. Number two globally. Top performing sales partner globally in 2026. Diamond status. More than six years of experience. Those achievements belong to its team, its customers and the ClickUp team that has been part of the journey with Kodah Business Automation Ltd. So yes, Kodah Business Automation Ltd is going to brag about this one. Because it is worth bragging about. Kodah Business Automation Ltd is proud of the partnership. Kodah Business Automation Ltd is proud of the work. And Kodah Business Automation Ltd is even more excited about what comes next. Thank you to the ClickUp team, its customers and everyone at Kodah who has helped build this relationship. Here is to the next chapter.

Detecting a compromised SaaS vendor before it becomes your breach: The case for a unified cybersecurity platform.

Detecting a compromised SaaS vendor before it becomes your breach: The case for a unified cybersecurity platform. Z Shield Engineering A breach at a third-party vendor doesn't have to become your breach. The real challenge is understanding what happens when compromised access reaches your environment through API tokens, OAuth grants, and integrations. A unified cybersecurity platform gives security teams a connected view of these activities, helping them detect unusual behavior and respond before the threat spreads. Most organizations otherwise have no single place watching what that access is actually doing once it's inside. That gap is exactly where threat detection needs to extend beyond your own perimeter. Modern businesses connect dozens of SaaS tools into their core systems - CRM platforms, project management tools, marketing automation, file storage - each one holding a live API key or OAuth token with real, standing access to company data. When one of those vendors is compromised, the attacker doesn't need to breach you directly. They already have a working key that your systems trust by default. Most security programs are built to monitor what happens inside their own perimeter - employee logins, endpoint activity, and network traffic. Third-party integrations can be harder to monitor because OAuth grants and API keys often operate quietly in the background, making it difficult to see when legitimate access starts behaving differently. That's where effective threat detection becomes essential. By correlating activity across identities, applications, APIs, and connected platforms, security teams can identify unusual behavior that might otherwise look like legitimate vendor activity. A compromised vendor's credentials may be authorized to access certain systems, but changes in data access, integration activity, or lateral movement can reveal that something is wrong. The goal isn't simply to determine whether access is legitimate - it's to detect when legitimate access starts being used in an unusual or potentially harmful way. The activity does leave a trail, but it's usually scattered across the wrong places to be useful. A spike in API calls from a specific integration might sit in an application log nobody checks daily. An unusual data export might show up in a SaaS platform's own audit trail, disconnected from anything your security team is actively monitoring. A new OAuth scope request might just be one more approval in a long queue. Each fragment is small enough to miss, and none of the systems holding those fragments were built to compare notes with each other. A unified cybersecurity platform changes that by pulling integration activity, API usage, and identity events into the same view used to monitor everything else in the environment. A sudden change in an integration's call volume, paired with a new data-export pattern and a permission scope that was never granted before, stops looking like routine SaaS traffic and starts looking like exactly what it is - access that's being used differently than it was intended to be. The value here is almost entirely about timing. Once compromised third-party access has been used to exfiltrate data or pivot further into connected systems, the incident has already happened. Catching the anomalous usage pattern early - before large-scale exfiltration, before lateral movement into other integrated platforms - is what turns a vendor's breach into a contained, revoked-access event instead of a second breach layered on top of the first. That containment step matters just as much as detection: the moment anomalous third-party activity is confirmed, revoking the token or integration should be immediate, not something that waits for a scheduled security review. Its earlier coverage of the ClickUp security breach exposing enterprise and government data is a real-world example of exactly this exposure - a widely integrated SaaS platform becoming the entry point into countless connected organizations' data, well beyond the vendor's own walls. Supply-chain risk doesn't end at the vendor's front door - it extends through every integration and API token that vendor holds into your environment, and that access is rarely watched with the same scrutiny as an employee login. A unified cybersecurity platform closes that gap by treating third-party activity as part of the same picture as everything else in the environment, giving threat detection the context it needs to catch a compromised vendor's access being misused - before it turns into a breach of your own. Whether you're evaluating managed SIEM services or trying to right-size an in-house SOC, the platform you build on matters as much as who's staffing it. At ZPOA, Zpoa Inc. help organizations unify detection, compliance, and identity governance onto a single platform, reducing the operational load either model has to carry.

Notion Calendar vs Morgen: which wins in 2026?

Notion Calendar vs Morgen: which wins in 2026? Notion Calendar is free and lives inside the Notion ecosystem; Morgen is a $30/month (or $15/month billed yearly) AI daily planner built to draft your whole day from your tasks and meetings. If you already run your life in Notion and just want a fast, keyboard-first calendar layered on top, Notion Calendar wins on price and simplicity. If you want software that actively proposes a day plan across every calendar and task tool you use - then lets you approve or edit it - Morgen is the stronger pick, as long as you're fine paying for it. Neither app schedules around your actual focus patterns or energy levels; that's the gap tools like Temporal are built to close. Notion Calendar (formerly Cron) is Notion Labs' free calendar app for macOS, Windows, iOS, and Android. It's built for people who already live inside Notion docs and databases and want their calendar to feel like part of that same fast, keyboard-driven workspace rather than a separate app you tab over to. * It's completely free. No trial countdown, no paywalled AI tier - every feature is available to every user, which is rare among the tools in this category. * Multi-account, multi-provider sync. As of late June 2026, Notion Calendar connects Google Calendar, Apple iCloud, and Microsoft Outlook/365 accounts in one unified view, so people with a personal Gmail and a work Outlook account aren't stuck choosing one. * Calendar blocking across accounts. Events on one connected calendar can write themselves as blockers on another, which is the closest thing Notion Calendar has to automation. * Genuinely fast and keyboard-first. Command-style shortcuts for creating events, switching views, and jumping between weeks make it feel closer to a code editor than a calendar. * Scheduling links with availability checks, similar to Calendly, built in at no extra cost. * No real task scheduling. It shows events; it doesn't plan your day, suggest focus blocks, or move tasks around when your week changes. * No two-way Notion database sync. Despite the name, Notion Calendar doesn't turn database rows into editable calendar events - a common point of confusion new users hit within the first week. * No AI planning layer at all. If you're comparing it to Morgen, Reclaim, or Motion expecting similar automation, you'll be disappointed; Notion Calendar is a viewer and quick-capture tool, not a planner. People already embedded in Notion for docs and project tracking who want a free, fast calendar view without paying for anything extra - and who don't need software to actively plan their day for them. Morgen positions itself as an AI daily planner, not just a calendar. Its AI Planner reads your connected calendars and task list, finds open time around existing meetings and routines, and proposes a draft schedule in seconds - one you review and approve rather than one that reshuffles itself automatically in the background. * Broad calendar and task integration. Morgen syncs Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook, Apple Calendar, and Fastmail, and pulls tasks from Notion, Obsidian, Todoist, ClickUp, Linear, Google Tasks, Microsoft To Do, and Apple Reminders - one of the widest integration lists in the category. * A planner you stay in control of. The AI Planner drafts a day and pads it by roughly 20% by default for realism, but nothing lands on your calendar until you confirm it - a meaningfully different trust model than fully automated rescheduling tools. * Team plans exist. At $25/seat/month (or $10/seat/month billed annually, two-seat minimum), Morgen scales to small teams that want shared scheduling visibility, which Notion Calendar doesn't offer at all. * No AI credit system. Pricing is a flat monthly or annual fee - no metering, no running out of "AI actions" mid-month. * No free tier. You get a 14-day trial (no credit card required) and then a $30/month or $15/month-annual bill - a real cost difference against a free competitor doing 80% of the calendar-viewing job. * Approval-based planning has a ceiling. Because you review every draft, Morgen won't fully take rescheduling off your plate the way a more autonomous tool aims to - some users want less clicking, not more. * No native focus-pattern or energy modeling. Morgen schedules around free time and priorities, not around when you're actually sharp versus depleted during the day. Knowledge workers and freelancers juggling calendars and task apps across ecosystems (say, Notion tasks plus a work Outlook calendar plus Todoist) who want an AI-drafted day plan but want to approve every change before it's real. | / | Notion Calendar | Morgen | | Price | Free | $30/mo, or $15/mo annual | | Free tier | Yes, full features | No - 14-day trial only | | Calendar sync | Google, iCloud, Outlook | Google, Outlook, Apple Calendar, Fastmail | | Task app integrations | None (Notion docs only, no 2-way sync) | Notion, Todoist, ClickUp, Linear, Google/MS Tasks, Reminders, Obsidian | | AI day planning | None | Yes - draft plan, manual approval | | Team plan | No | Yes, $25/seat/mo ($10 annual) | | Best for | Free, fast calendar inside Notion workflow | Cross-app AI-drafted planning with approval step | Pick Notion Calendar if your calendar needs are mostly about viewing multiple accounts in one clean, fast interface and you don't want to pay anything. It's hard to beat free when the job is just "show me my meetings and let me add new ones quickly." Pick Morgen if you're drowning in tasks spread across Todoist, ClickUp, or Notion and want software to propose where they should go on your calendar - and you're fine paying $15-30/month for that and reviewing the AI's draft before it commits. Neither tool schedules around your chronotype or energy curve - they schedule around open time slots and stated priorities. That's the specific gap Temporal targets: it combines tasks, calendar, time tracking, and AI scheduling in one app with three automation modes - Suggest, Auto, and Off - so you decide how much control to hand over, and it builds your day around your actual focus patterns and work patterns, not just whatever gaps exist between meetings. If you've outgrown "which calendar app shows my events best" and are asking "why do I keep scheduling deep work during my worst hours," that's a different question than either tool above answers. Temporal syncs with Google Calendar and adds a command palette and natural-language task input on top of the same core calendar functions. Is Notion Calendar actually free forever, or is there a paid tier coming? As of 2026, Notion Calendar has no paid tier - every feature, including multi-account sync and scheduling links, is free. Notion has not announced plans to monetize it separately from Notion's core subscription. Does Morgen replace my task manager, or just schedule what's already there? Morgen doesn't replace your task manager - it pulls tasks in from apps like Todoist, ClickUp, Linear, or Notion and proposes when to work on them. You still create and manage the tasks in their original app. Can Notion Calendar sync two-way with a Notion database? No. Notion Calendar can show events and link to Notion pages, but database rows don't become editable calendar events with two-way sync - a common misconception given the shared name. Does Morgen's AI Planner reschedule things automatically without asking? No. Morgen drafts a proposed schedule and pads it for realism, but you review and confirm before anything is added to your calendar - it's an approval-based model, not a background auto-scheduler. Which one works better for a team, not just an individual? Morgen, since it has a dedicated team plan at $25/seat/month ($10/seat/month billed annually, two-seat minimum). Notion Calendar has no team-specific pricing or shared-scheduling features. Is there a real cost difference for a solo user over a year? Yes - Notion Calendar costs nothing annually, while Morgen's cheapest annual plan runs about $180/year per person. That's the trade-off for Morgen's AI planning and broader task-app integration. Do either of these tools account for energy levels or focus patterns during the day? No. Both schedule around calendar availability and, in Morgen's case, stated task priorities - neither models when you personally do your best focused work versus when you're running low. If I use Outlook instead of Google Calendar, does that change the recommendation? Not much - both Notion Calendar and Morgen support Outlook sync as of 2026, so provider choice isn't a limiting factor either way. Temporal is an AI calendar and task management app that schedules your day around your focus patterns and energy levels - not just time availability. It combines tasks, calendar, time tracking, and AI scheduling in one app with three automation modes: Suggest, Auto, and Off. Try Temporal - AI calendar that schedules around your energy. 7-day free trial, no credit card required.
