A ClickUp alternative for agencies that sell services
If you are looking for a ClickUp alternative, start with what is missing. ClickUp is a work management tool built around tasks, docs and views, and it does that well. Byld Ops is the business operating system we moved BYLD onto from ClickUp: projects and tasks sit next to the CRM, proposals, invoicing and a client portal, under your brand.
We used to run BYLD's projects in ClickUp, with invoicing and accounting in Wave. We moved both into Byld Ops.
Today our clients, proposals, projects and invoices live in one system, and our clients log in to its portal to follow their projects. It is the system we run BYLD on, and the same one we deploy for your agency.

Choose Byld Ops if
選択
You sell projects or retainers, and want the client, the proposal, the project and the invoice in one record.
You are tired of keeping a task tool, a CRM and an accounting tool in step.
Clients should log in to a portal with your name, domain and design on it.
You want AI to draft and prepare work, with a person approving anything that goes out.
Not at the start. ClickUp has a free plan and per-user monthly plans, and Byld Ops is a $15k one-time setup. It fits agencies that would rather run clients, projects and invoicing in one system than pay for and connect several tools.
Can we move our work from ClickUp?
Yes. We import your contacts, companies and history, the same way we moved BYLD itself off ClickUp and Wave.
Does Byld Ops have ClickUp's whiteboards and views?
No. Projects in Byld Ops are boards and tasks for every client, with time tracking. If you rely on ClickUp's range of views, whiteboards and dashboards, ClickUp is the better fit.
Is Byld Ops a project management tool?
Partly. Projects are one part of it. The point is that the project sits next to the client record, the proposal that sold it and the invoice that bills it, with a client portal under your brand.
