ClickUp is a deep project-management platform for running internal work. AgencyKit runs the client-facing, get-paid side. Many teams use one of each.
ClickUp is a best-in-class project-management and work OS with native time tracking on every tier, but it has no native invoicing, online payments, e-signature, proposals-with-acceptance, or branded client portal. AgencyKit is built for that client-to-cash side, so the choice is deep project management plus separate billing tools versus one connected client workflow.

ClickUp is excellent at running the internal work: tasks, projects, and delivery across a team. What it does not do is the commercial layer, so invoicing, payments, e-signed contracts, and proposals all live in other tools. Plenty of agencies run ClickUp for delivery and AgencyKit for the client-to-cash workflow, and let time and projects inform the invoices.
Not for clients. ClickUp's invoice help refers to your own ClickUp subscription billing, not client invoicing, which requires an integration or export. AgencyKit includes client invoicing on every plan and online payments on the Agency plan.
Yes. ClickUp has native time tracking on every tier, unlimited on the Business plan. AgencyKit also includes time tracking on every plan, and those hours flow directly into invoices.
There is no native proposal-with-acceptance flow and no native e-signature. Contracts rely on document templates plus a tool like DocuSign. AgencyKit includes proposals with online acceptance and electronic signature on the Agency plan.
Many teams do. Run delivery and internal project management in ClickUp, and run the client-to-cash workflow, proposals, contracts, invoices, and payments, in AgencyKit.
ClickUp is billed per user, so cost grows with headcount. AgencyKit is billed per account and starts at $9 a month, with the full Agency plan at $39, regardless of how many teammates are on that tier.
