Why teams look around
Why teams look beyond ClickUp
ClickUp can model almost any process. These are the common reasons small teams look for something simpler.
Configuration takes time
Many views, fields and automations are powerful, and a small team can spend a lot of time maintaining them.
AI priced per person
When AI is a per-user add-on, the cost grows with every seat on top of the plan itself.
Work outside the task list
Booking calls and hiring usually still happen in separate tools.
What you will find
What you get in Atrix AI
A workspace with sensible defaults, so the team spends time on the work.
A closer look
Work
A board that is ready, not configured
Every project starts with a board and a list of the same work. Assign, date and discuss it without designing a system first.
- A board and a list of the same work
- Assignees, due dates and comments
- Overdue work flagged to its owner

AI runs
AI you do not buy per seat
Every plan includes AI runs. Chatting with the agent about work that already exists does not use one.
- Included in the trial and every paid plan
- 100 on Builder, 500 on Studio
- No per-user AI add-on
Be honest about it
When to keep ClickUp
Atrix AI is deliberately smaller. You may want to keep ClickUp for:
- Sprint points, velocity charts and detailed agile reporting.
- Custom forms feeding into tasks.
- Complex automations your team depends on.

FAQ
Questions, answered
Is Atrix AI simpler than ClickUp?
Yes, by design. It has fewer views and settings, and the workspace parts are connected from the start.
Does Atrix AI include AI in the price?
Yes. AI runs are included in every plan. Chatting about work that already exists does not use a run.
What will I miss from ClickUp?
Forms, complex automations, sprint points and velocity charts are not in Atrix AI today. Sprints are: each product runs cycles with a goal, progress, a burndown and rollover of unfinished work. Time tracking is included too, with a timer, weekly timesheets and approvals.
How many people can join?
Builder includes five seats and Studio fifteen, each at one monthly price per workspace.
