# When the free tier stops being enough, the price gap opens up fast
You’ll notice ClickUp’s Business plan starts at $100/month per user, while GitHub’s most comparable offering is the $4/month per user tier that adds private collaborators. That alone makes the GitHub side feel like a modest add‑on, whereas ClickUp jumps straight into a premium‑grade workspace.
What the plans actually bundle
ClickUp’s Business tier bundles everything from the Unlimited plan and adds advanced automations, custom fields, and reporting. The next step is ClickUp Enterprise at $750/month, a flat‑rate option that layers enterprise permissions and governance on top of Business features. GitHub splits its charges: a base $0.18/month for the Git service, $5/month for Git Large File Storage, and a $4/month per user add‑on for private collaborators. There is no single “enterprise” tier, just a menu of add‑ons you can combine.
How the costs compare at a glance
| Vendor | Plan | Price |
|---|---|---|
| ClickUp | Business | $100/month per user |
| ClickUp | Enterprise | $750/month |
| GitHub | Git (base) | $0.18/month |
| GitHub | Git Large File Storage | $5/month |
| GitHub | Private collaborators add‑on | $4/month per user |
Teams that need a full‑featured project‑management suite and are willing to pay a premium will gravitate toward ClickUp’s Business or Enterprise tiers. Organizations already entrenched in the GitHub ecosystem and only requiring extra storage or private repo collaborators can stay far cheaper by mixing the $5/month LFS charge with the $4/month per‑user add‑on.
