Which one should you pick?
Pick ClickUp if
You’re building around all-in-one pm. ClickUp is the maximalist's pick — every feature, every view, every template, including legitimate podcast workflows. Unlimited at $7/user/mo is the real entry point.
Pick Foyer if
You’re building around premium-feel guest portals. Foyer is built as a secure client portal for accountants and consultants, not for podcasters specifically, but it works surprisingly well as a branded guest hub if you want to look the part. For most shows it's overkill — a Google Drive folder and a Tally form will do the same job for free.
