What the community says

Mostly negativeUpdated July 2026

ClickUp draws unusually harsh feedback from developers: the dominant recurring theme is performance and bloat — slow loads, high memory use, poor search, and an overwhelming feature set — with several calling it among the worst software they've used. Almost no counter-praise surfaces.

  • “I think ClickUp gets the dubious honour of being my least favourite piece of software of all time. Super slow to load, clunky, unbelievably overcomplicated, packed with trackers and unnecessary JS, etc.”

  • “I couldn't believe how shitty ClickUp was when I was demoing project management software because it came highly recommended.”

  • “search in ClickUp is awful and it's impossible to find back old cards from previous years. A nightmare.”
