Dewx vs ClickUp FAQ

Is Dewx really a good alternative to ClickUp?

For small businesses that need more than project management, absolutely. ClickUp is a powerful project management tool, but it lacks built-in CRM, messaging, and unified inbox features. If your business needs to manage customer conversations across WhatsApp, LinkedIn, and email alongside your projects, Dewx provides all of that in one platform. If you only need advanced project management with custom views and whiteboards, ClickUp may be a better fit.

Can I migrate from ClickUp to Dewx?

Yes! You can export your tasks and projects from ClickUp and import them into Dewx. Our import tools handle task details, assignments, and due dates. The migration typically takes about 20 minutes for most small businesses. Your team can be up and running on Dewx the same day.

What does Dewx have that ClickUp doesn't?

Dewx offers a unified inbox with WhatsApp, LinkedIn, Gmail, Instagram, and Outlook -- something ClickUp completely lacks. Dewx also has a built-in CRM with deal pipelines, an AI assistant (Dew) that actually executes tasks like sending follow-ups and creating invoices, multi-channel outreach sequences, and operations features like invoicing. ClickUp focuses on project management and doesn't provide messaging or sales tools.

What does ClickUp have that Dewx doesn't?

ClickUp offers more advanced project management features including custom views (Gantt, Mind Maps), built-in time tracking, whiteboards for visual collaboration, and a docs feature for internal documentation. ClickUp also has a larger ecosystem of integrations and more granular task customization options. If your primary need is complex project management, ClickUp has deeper features in that specific area.

Is ClickUp too complex for small businesses?

Many small business owners find ClickUp overwhelming. With its numerous features, custom views, automations, and configuration options, the learning curve can be steep. ClickUp was built for power users who need granular project control. Dewx is designed specifically for SMBs who want simplicity -- you can start managing your business in under 10 minutes without any training.

How does pricing compare between Dewx and ClickUp?

ClickUp's free plan is very limited, and the Business plan costs $12/user/month. Adding ClickUp Brain (AI) is another $7/user/month. Even then, you still don't get CRM, messaging, or invoicing -- you'd need separate tools for those. Dewx includes everything (CRM, unified inbox, AI assistant, project management, invoicing) in one subscription, making it significantly more cost-effective for small businesses.
