Source: clickup.com/pricing, as of 4 Nov 2026.

Screenshots are on by default in the desktop app, admins can turn them off for anyone, and they aren't the main pitch.

Detailed comparison by topic

Pricing & total cost of ownership

Trakkar Premium is $5/user/month (₹120/user/month + GST in India) with time tracking, screenshots, attendance, leave, invoicing, and client portal included. That's $100/month at list price for a 20-person team (₹2,400/month + GST in India), paid upfront for 6 months (5% off) or 12 months (10% off), with no per-module upsells.

ClickUp pricing: Free; Core from $9/user/month billed yearly, or $12 billed monthly. Most teams also pay for separate invoicing, HR, or monitoring tools, pushing total cost well above the listed per-user price.

One platform instead of a stack

Built for Indian billing: client GSTIN on invoices, the tax rate you pick, invoice numbers that restart each Indian financial year, TDS recorded at payment, India holiday presets, and your own custom holidays.

ClickUp covers one slice of the workflow. Trakkar bundles time tracking with screenshots, projects, attendance and leave, invoicing, and a client portal in a single per-user price. GST invoices and quotations are created in Trakkar too, so there is no separate invoicing tool to buy.

Feature depth & tool consolidation

One dashboard replaces a time tracker, attendance system, leave manager, invoicing tool, and client portal. Tasks run on a Kanban board, where you drag cards between your own status columns, and a timeline (Gantt-style) view shows tasks by project. Each project can have its own workflow, with your own statuses and the moves you allow between them, plus ready-made HR automations. The async daily standup fills itself in from yesterday's tasks and time. For people changes, there are onboarding and offboarding checklists, and when someone leaves, their work is handed over to a colleague.

ClickUp is an all-in-one productivity platform with tasks, docs, goals, whiteboards, and time tracking. It targets teams wanting to consolidate tools into one workspace. Steep learning curve (feature overload) Teams using ClickUp often maintain a separate stack for billing and HR.

Onboarding & switching

Self-serve signup at web.trakkar.in with a 14-day free trial, no credit card needed. Import your clients from Excel or CSV, invite your team by email or invite link, and set up leave types, shifts, and screenshot policies. Book a demo at trakkar.in/demo to see how it compares with ClickUp.

ClickUp onboarding varies by plan tier. Enterprise plans may require sales calls and longer implementation, especially for PSA tools like Scoro or Kantata.
