The problem with ClickUp for freelancers is rarely capability. It is that configuring and maintaining it is a second job.
ClickUp is remarkably capable and genuinely inexpensive for what it includes. If you want one tool that can be configured into almost anything, it is a strong choice.
ClickUp can model anything, which means you have to decide how to model everything: custom fields for capacity, formulas for utilisation, automations to keep it accurate. Freshlance ships one opinionated model of freelance work. There is nothing to configure because the decisions are already made.
