What ClickUp does well
- An enormous all-in-one feature set under one roof
- Polished UX, automations, and dozens of view types
- Large template library and integrations
- Generous free tier for very small teams
ClickUp Alternative: Project Management
ClickUp charges per seat and keeps getting more expensive. Project Management is open source, self-hosted, and $29/mo flat, so you can invite everyone without watching the seat count.

Straight talk
Where each one wins
Where ClickUp may still be the better fit
- You genuinely use its bundled docs, chat, and time tracking
- You depend on a specific ClickUp integration
- You want vendor-managed uptime and zero server care
- Your team is small enough that per-seat cost stays low
Our honest take: if you live inside ClickUp's all-in-one suite, the switch may not be worth it. If you mostly need issues, cycles, modules, and roadmaps without a per-seat bill, project management on our hosting is the honest choice.
Making the move
How to switch from ClickUp
Moving from ClickUp to Managed project management on Last Hour Hosting is a guided process. Here is what it looks like, step by step.
Step 1
Export your ClickUp spaces as CSV or use the ClickUp API to pull tasks.
Step 2
Send us the export and we import lists, tasks, and custom fields into project management.
Step 3
Recreate your views and cycles in project management, then invite your team and assign work.
Step 4
Confirm assignees, due dates, and statuses all landed correctly before closing ClickUp.
The upside
Why Managed Project Management is a strong ClickUp alternative
- Project Management is open source and self-hosted, so your roadmaps and client work stay on your own server.
- You get one flat $29/mo for the whole team instead of ClickUp's per-seat pricing that climbs with every hire.
- Project Management keeps project planning focused and fast, without ClickUp's sprawling feature set that teams rarely fully adopt.
Frequently asked questions
Does project management charge per user like ClickUp?
No. Our project management hosting is $29/mo flat. You can invite your whole team without a per-seat fee, because the instance runs on your own server.
Can I move my ClickUp tasks into project management?
Yes. We can bring your projects, tasks, and boards across from ClickUp into project management so your history and workflow stay intact.
Is project management as feature-rich as ClickUp?
Project Management covers issues, cycles, modules, views, pages, and analytics. ClickUp bundles more features, including docs, chat, and time tracking, but many teams never use most of them. For most small and mid-size teams, project management is more than enough.
Does project management handle both Agile sprints and simple task lists?
Yes. Project Management supports cycles for sprint-style work and modules for grouping related tasks, and you can also keep a plain backlog list if that is all your team needs. You are not forced into one workflow.
Can I connect project management to Slack or GitHub like I did with ClickUp?
Project Management has integrations for common tools including GitHub and Slack, and since it is self-hosted you can also wire up webhooks for custom flows. We help configure the connections your team relies on during migration.
