Move from ClickUp to OpenProject
We earn commissions when you shop through the links below.
Export the lists you still use and import them into OpenProject. Docs, whiteboards, and goals do not come along.
How long: A day for one workspace's active lists.
Take it out
Step 1
Export the lists that had activity this month
ClickUp can export a list to CSV. Skip the archived experiments. Keep the CSV.
Step 2
Save the docs that are not tasks
Copy ClickUp docs into files. Whiteboards and goals do not have a clean export. Screenshot a board only if someone still looks at it.
Step 3
Read your billing notice
ClickUp's pricing page, checked November 5, 2026, lists yearly prices of Core at $9 and Business at $17 per user a month. The help article says a price update, if you have one, begins no earlier than January 2027 and applies at the renewal in your notice. Some workspaces have no price update. The CSV export does not depend on that date.
Put it in
Step 1
Create the project in OpenProject
Make the statuses match the columns people use. Import the CSV into a copy of the project first.
Step 2
Check assignees and dates
Names in a CSV do not always match accounts. Fix the mapping before you invite the team.
Step 3
Turn on time tracking only if you used it
OpenProject can track time. Recreate the one report someone opens. Do not rebuild every ClickUp dashboard.

What you lose
Docs, whiteboards, and AI
Those ClickUp surfaces stay in ClickUp. The tasks are what the CSV can carry.
Automations
ClickUp automations do not become OpenProject workflows. Rebuild the one rule that assigns or emails.
A personal task list
If you were the only user, Vikunja is the smaller app. OpenProject is the team tool.
Invite the team after one list looks right. Keep ClickUp read-only for a week so people can check an old comment.
