ClickUp Alternative for Creative Agencies
ClickUp's feature bloat is the enemy of creative focus. Your team needs clean project management that supports creative workflows, not 200 customizable settings that distract from the actual creative work. AgencyPro gives creative agencies the right tools without the overhead.
Why Creative Agencies Struggle with ClickUp
ClickUp's complexity overwhelms creative professionals who want simple, clean tools that stay out of their way
Creative proofing and client feedback require additional tool subscriptions integrated with ClickUp
Building creative workflow templates in ClickUp takes weeks of configuration and custom field creation
Creative agencies need beautiful, branded client interactions — ClickUp's guest access is utilitarian at best
Why Creative Agencies Switch to AgencyPro
Designed for Creatives
AgencyPro's interface is clean, modern, and visually refined — because creative agencies deserve tools that reflect their standards. The platform focuses on creative workflow essentials without burying them under hundreds of features your team will never use.
Client Review & Proofing
Share creative assets with clients for structured review and approval. Clients view deliverables in their branded portal, provide feedback, and formally approve work. Every interaction is logged, creating a clear record that protects your creative process.
Effortless Project Setup
Pre-built templates for branding projects, ad campaigns, video production, website design, and more. Create new creative projects in minutes with the right structure, phases, and milestones already in place. No ClickUp Space/Folder/List hierarchy to configure.
Integrated Business Operations
Creative agencies need proposals, contracts, invoicing, and time tracking alongside project management. AgencyPro includes all of these natively, replacing the ClickUp + QuickBooks + Harvest + DocuSign stack with a single platform.
Key Features for Creative Agencies
Creative Brief System
Structured briefs with mood boards, reference files, brand guidelines, and deliverable specs. Clients submit briefs through their portal and projects kick off automatically.
Visual Asset Delivery
Organize final deliverables by project and asset type. Clients download approved files through their portal — logos, social graphics, print files, video exports.
Revision Limit Enforcement
Define included revision rounds per project. Track rounds automatically and flag when clients exceed limits for additional billing.
Resource Allocation
Balance workload across designers, copywriters, and art directors. See who's available and assign work based on skills and capacity.
White-Label Portal
Brand the entire client experience with your agency's identity. Clients interact with your brand, reinforcing the premium creative experience you provide.
Profitability Tracking
Know which creative projects and clients are profitable in real-time. Make informed decisions about pricing, staffing, and project acceptance.
“What has made my experience with AgencyPro great is how thoughtfully the whole platform is put together. It replaces the patchwork of tools we used to rely on with one cohesive system.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Will my creative team actually use AgencyPro?
Creative teams adopt AgencyPro significantly faster than ClickUp because the interface is clean, the workflows are intuitive, and there's no overwhelming configuration required. Designers and creatives appreciate tools that are well-designed themselves, and AgencyPro delivers on that expectation.
How does AgencyPro handle creative agency billing?
AgencyPro supports project-based billing, retainer billing, and milestone-based billing. You can create proposals, send contracts for e-signature, track time, and generate invoices all within the platform. For creative agencies, this eliminates the need for separate accounting and contract management tools.
Can I manage brand identity projects in AgencyPro?
Absolutely. Brand identity projects have specific phases — discovery, strategy, concept development, design system, application — and AgencyPro supports all of these with customizable project templates. You can track client approvals at each phase and deliver final brand assets through the client portal.
How does switching from ClickUp to AgencyPro work?
Most creative agencies complete the transition in under a week. You import existing project data, set up creative project templates, configure your white-label client portal, and start working. The simplicity of AgencyPro compared to ClickUp means your team adapts quickly.
