Plans	Free Forever Free Trying Brain on a small workspace.	FreeOur pick Free Everyone. The launcher, clipboard history and all extensions.	Free Free Light users and trying it out.

		Enterprise Custom IT-managed rollouts.
Which plan to pick	Use the free trial credits first. If Brain earns its place, the $9 Brain AI add-on is the cheapest real step, but ClickUp may show you its new bundled plans instead, so screenshot your quote. Upgrades apply to the whole workspace, which gets expensive fast for large teams.	Use Free until you catch yourself wishing the AI was there. Then Pro. Plus and Max only make sense if Raycast becomes your main way of talking to AI, and most people already pay for Claude or ChatGPT separately.	Free tells you within a day whether talking suits you. If you hit the weekly cap, which most people do fast, Pro on the yearly plan is the one. Growth is only about security paperwork.

Pros and cons

Attribute	ClickUp Brain	Raycast	Wispr Flow
Pros	Knows your tasks, docs and chats, so answers are about your actual work Can create and update tasks, not just chat Super Agents handle routine admin on a schedule Choice of GPT, Claude and Gemini models	The free plan is excellent and most people never need more Instant and rock solid; it never seems to lag Huge extension library covering most business apps AI from any app with one shortcut Now on Windows as well as Mac	Output is clean enough to send without editing Works the same in every app, including terminals and browsers Much faster than typing for long prompts and emails Learns your names and jargon Good free plan to test the habit
Cons	AI pricing keeps changing, with credits and limits added mid-contract Pushy upsells, and AI often has to be bought for the whole workspace ClickUp itself is often slow, laggy or buggy Brain outages lasting days have been reported Only useful if your team already lives in ClickUp	Power-user tool; the benefit depends on learning shortcuts AI credits run out fast on Pro if you use it heavily Paying for Raycast AI on top of Claude or ChatGPT feels like double paying Windows version is newer and has fewer extensions	Weekly word cap on Free is small Accuracy drops in noisy rooms and open offices Dictating out loud is awkward in shared spaces Your speech is processed in the cloud, which some workplaces won't allow Pro is pricey next to built-in dictation if you only use it occasionally
