Scrum without the
everything-app sprawl
ClickUp wants to be your docs, whiteboards, CRM and task tracker all at once. If you just need clean scrum and kanban, that breadth is overhead you configure, learn and pay for. Scrumpy is the focused board, backlog and sprints, at one flat price.
What you get with Scrumpy
Free seats, no limit
You only pay for the people who actively manage the work. Stakeholders, clients and viewers come along for free, however many of them you have.
Everything is included
No paid add-on that one person needs but the whole team has to fund. The features you see are the features you get.
No lock-in
Your data is yours. Export it whenever you want and leave the day you decide to. We would rather earn the renewal than trap you into it.
A bill you can actually read
One flat price per editor, billed monthly or annually. No quote calls, no add-on math, no invoice that takes an hour to decode.
Modern and real time
The board updates live as your team moves cards, so everyone is looking at the same picture without hitting refresh.
Columns you control
You pick which statuses show as columns on the board. Keep a terminal status like Won't do off it, so the board stays lean and your active columns are always in the same place, not appearing and disappearing as they empty out.

When ClickUp is the better fit
ClickUp genuinely does a lot. If you want one platform to hold your docs, whiteboards, goals and a CRM alongside your tasks, and you are happy to invest in setting it up, ClickUp earns its breadth. Scrumpy is for teams who want focused scrum and kanban without the everything-app overhead.
Focused beats everything-app
ClickUp can be your docs, your whiteboards, your goals and your CRM as well as your task tracker. That breadth is the point, and also the cost: more to set up, more to learn, and a bill that grows with every member. If what you actually need is clean scrum and kanban, Scrumpy is the whole job in one focused tool.
- One thing done well: scrum and kanban boards, sprints, backlog and epics.
- Nothing to configure before you can run your first sprint.
- Free unlimited viewers instead of paying for everyone with a login.
- A flat per-editor price you can read in ten seconds.

Move your board, backlog and sprints over in an afternoon. No credit card to start.
Scrumpy vs ClickUp: frequently asked questions
Is Scrumpy cheaper than ClickUp?
For most teams, yes, especially once you count stakeholders. Scrumpy is a flat $9 per editor per month ($7.50 billed annually) with unlimited free view-only seats, so everyone who only needs to watch the work costs nothing.
Can Scrumpy do everything ClickUp does?
No, and that is deliberate. Scrumpy focuses on scrum and kanban: boards, sprints, backlog and epics. It does not try to be your docs, whiteboard, goals tracker or CRM.
Is Scrumpy simpler than ClickUp?
Yes. There are no modules to switch on and nothing to administer. You can create a board and start your first sprint within minutes of signing up.
Can I move my ClickUp work into Scrumpy?
You can import issues from a Jira CSV export and map their statuses onto your board during the import. Coming from ClickUp, export your tasks to CSV first and bring them in the same way.
Do viewers or guests cost extra in Scrumpy?
No. View-only users are free and unlimited. You only pay for editors who actively manage the work.
Is Scrumpy a good ClickUp alternative for small teams?
Yes. Small teams are exactly who Scrumpy is built for. There is nothing to configure, the price is flat per editor, stakeholders are free, and you can run your first sprint within minutes.
