PeopleMuster vs ClickUp
ClickUp manages tasks and documents. PeopleMuster runs the people side of a services team as well as its projects: employee records, attendance, leave quotas, timesheets and a capacity plan, all in one database. At $3 per person a month, under ClickUp Unlimited at $7 billed annually, it is the clear pick when HR and delivery belong together.

Why teams choose PeopleMuster
- An HR record, ready-made. Departments, reporting lines, an org chart, a benefits catalogue, an asset register and company policies in one place.
- Leave that does the arithmetic. Types with annual quotas, paid, unpaid and encashable flags, a per-user allocation grid, approvals and usage by type and month.
- Attendance from a fingerprint terminal or browser check-in, with an on-time rate, late minutes per person, a partial-day state and a working-hours histogram.
- Time logging with a purpose. A person logs the day against projects, a manager approves it, and the result becomes utilisation by person, project and department.
- The capacity grid plans the work forward by person and day, with approved leave and holidays already subtracted.
- A field-level audit trail. A task tool records that an item moved; this records what the leave quota was and what it became.

Does PeopleMuster have project boards?
