Open-Source ClickUp Alternative: Why Teams Move to AlianHub
Looking for an open-source ClickUp alternative? See how self-hosted AlianHub maps to ClickUp features, how the import works, and who it suits best.
Free to self-host. Projects, tasks, time tracking, chat and reports in one workspace that grows into your ERP, with AI agents doing the work. You approve what matters.


Three of your tasks need attention.

Preview only. Nothing was written.
Two supplier orders are late.
Decline with a reason, and the agent sees it.
Add a subtask “Order signage” to Open day, comment on it, and assign it to Arjun.
It sees only the projects you can open.
Ask in plain words. Answers come only from the projects you can open.
Some features are switched on by whoever runs the server: team packs, workflows, app connections, connecting your AI by address, the extra MCP tool tiers and skills that read outside your workspace. If the demo shows one as switched off, that is why.
