Understanding the Free Tier limits

Chik Basic is free forever, but it does have some limits. Here's exactly what's included — and what requires a Chik+ upgrade.

Chik Basic gives you a powerful, free-forever starting point for managing your freelance work. Here's a clear breakdown of what's available on the free plan and what you'll need Chik+ to unlock.

What's included in Chik Basic (Free)

  • Task & project management: Create tasks and subtasks, set due dates, upload files, and leave comments. No limits.

What requires Chik+

The following features are not available on the free plan and require a Chik+ or Chik+ Teams upgrade:

  • Client dashboards: Invite clients as Partners to collaborate on tasks from their own dedicated view.
  • Time tracking: Log billable hours and share weekly or monthly reports with clients.
  • Notes: Write meeting notes, project briefs, and SOPs — then share them anywhere.
  • Contracts: Draft, send, and sign legally binding contracts without leaving Chik.
