## Why people pay for it

- Unlimited storage, custom fields and Gantt charts
- Automations and advanced dashboards
- ClickUp Brain AI credits

## Reasons to keep paying

- Spaces, custom fields, task types and statuses configured around team processes
- Automations, dashboards and integrations wired into the Workspace
- Docs and chat history living next to tasks

## Risks

- **functionality_loss** (medium): Downgrading removes custom fields, automations above the plan limit, advanced dashboards and AI credits from the Workspace.
- **migration_complexity** (medium): Workspaces that combine tasks, docs and chat take longer to move than a single-purpose tool.

Data portability: moderate — Editorial: tasks and docs can be moved out, but automations, dashboards, custom fields and integrations must be rebuilt elsewhere.
