ClickUp Brain

by ClickUp

Sanity

by Sanity.io

Pros

• ✓Super Agents, Autopilot Agents and AI Skills act on tasks, docs and chat inside the workspace, and Enterprise Search covers the workspace plus connected apps.
• ✓ClickUp runs its own MCP server on every plan, can use external MCP servers as a client, and lists more than 1,000 integrations.
• ✓AI pricing is published, from $9 per user per month billed yearly, and that add-on includes chat with models from OpenAI, Anthropic and Google.

Limitations

• –AI is sold as an add-on on top of a paid workspace plan, so the lowest full price is the $7 Unlimited plan plus the $9 Brain AI add-on per user. Free Forever gets only a one-time trial.
• –AI use is metered in Super Credits, 1,500 or 5,000 per user a month depending on the add-on, and more cost $10 per 10,000.
• –Without the Everything AI add-on the MCP server is capped at 100 calls a day on Free Forever, 300 on Unlimited and 1,000 on Business, and Enterprise pricing is by quote.

Pros

• ✓Content Agent, Agent Actions and Agent Context are included on every plan, including Free, with 1,000 AI credits a month.
• ✓An official MCP server lets AI clients such as Claude, Claude Code, Cursor and Lovable create projects, migrate schemas, run bulk edits and query content.
• ✓Sanity holds its own SOC 2 Type 2 report, lists GDPR and CCPA compliance on every plan, and hosts its backend in the EU (Belgium).

Limitations

• –SAML single sign-on, custom roles, content releases and the full audit trail require the custom-priced Enterprise plan.
• –A Content Agent query uses 4 AI credits and each action 2, and on Growth credits beyond the 1,000 included each month cost $0.05 each.
• –Free plan datasets are public only, Comments, Tasks and scheduled drafts start at Growth at $15 per seat per month, and Growth is capped at 50 seats.
