Why teams leave ClickUp
Overwhelming complexity
ClickUp has Spaces, Folders, Lists, Views, Dashboards, Docs, Whiteboards, Goals, and more. Small teams spend weeks configuring instead of working.
Slow and buggy
ClickUp users frequently report slow loading, laggy interfaces, and features that do not work consistently. Small teams cannot afford tools that get in the way.
AI costs $7/user/month extra
ClickUp Brain is an add-on at $7 per user per month on top of your existing plan. For a 10-person team, that is $70 per month just for AI features.
Features exist but half-baked
ClickUp has Docs, Chat, and Whiteboards but each one feels like a v1 side project. Teams end up using Notion for docs and Slack for chat anyway.

How Trilo helps
All-in-One Without the Overload
ClickUp packs hundreds of features into a confusing hierarchy of Spaces, Folders, and Lists. Trilo gives you chat, tasks, docs, video, and calendar in a clean interface with zero configuration. Your small team starts working immediately instead of spending the first week setting up Spaces.
Fast and Reliable Every Time
ClickUp users report slow page loads, laggy task views, and features that break after updates. Trilo is built for speed: instant task switching, real-time chat without delay, and a responsive interface that does not make your team wait.
AI Coworkers, Not AI Add-Ons
ClickUp Brain costs $7 per user per month extra and helps with summaries and writing. Trilo AI coworkers are included on every plan and do actual work: they join chats, transcribe meetings, create tasks from discussions, and keep projects moving autonomously.
