ClickUp's free plan gives you 100MB of storage and calls it generous. That's about 25 photos or a few small PDFs before you hit the wall. TaskLoco takes a different approach — two genuinely useful free tiers that don't feel like demos.
TaskLoco Lite works completely offline with 20 notes and no account required. TaskLoco Lite Plus+ syncs 30 notes across all your devices with Google sign-in. Both are free forever, no credit card, no artificial limits designed to force upgrades.
TaskLoco Premium is regularly $9.99/month per person. Right now, charter members can lock in 50% off the regular price — forever. That means $4.99/month per person today. And if our price ever goes up, you still pay half. Always.
Code CHARTER50 auto-applies at checkout. First 500 spots only — once they're gone, this offer is gone permanently. Act fast while spots last.
Every Premium subscription includes unlimited notes, 10GB file storage, reminders, calendar, and team sharing. Each team member requires a separate subscription. 7-day free trial — no charge until day 8. Cancel anytime.

Free Tier Reality Check
ClickUp's free plan sounds good until you use it. 100MB storage disappears fast, and you're stuck with basic task management only. No time tracking, no advanced views, no custom fields. It's a trial dressed up as a free plan.
TaskLoco Lite gives you 20 notes that live entirely on your device. No account, no internet required, works forever offline. TaskLoco Lite Plus+ syncs 30 notes across every device you own — iPhone, Android, web, Chrome extension. Both include the core sticky note experience without artificial restrictions.
Complexity vs Simplicity
ClickUp markets itself as 'one app to replace them all' — which means learning dozens of features you probably don't need. Views, spaces, folders, lists, subtasks, dependencies, custom statuses, automations. It's powerful but overwhelming for basic task management.
TaskLoco focuses on one thing: sticky notes that work everywhere. Create a note, set a reminder, attach files, share with your team. No project hierarchies, no workspace setup, no feature bloat. You're productive in minutes, not hours.
File Storage and Attachments
ClickUp's free plan gives you 100MB total. That's shared across your entire workspace — documents, images, everything. Upload a few meeting recordings or design files and you're done. Their paid plans start at $7/month per user for 100GB.
TaskLoco Premium includes 10GB per person standard, with optional add-ons for 50GB, 200GB, or 1TB if you need more. Files attach directly to notes with secure sharing links. Your team can access attachments even if they don't have TaskLoco accounts.
Pricing That Makes Sense
ClickUp's pricing gets messy fast. Free plan with 100MB, Unlimited at $7/user/month, Business at $12/user/month, Enterprise with custom pricing. Each tier gates essential features behind paywalls.
$9.99/month per person (currently $4.99/month per person for first 500 charter members with code CHARTER50)
