See the full financial picture

Wrike

Wrike was built for internal teams at large enterprises. Most of those teams don’t need to track billable hours, create complex budgets, or forecast in their project software. That’s why Wrike only offers a limited version of this in their premium Pinnacle plan.

Teamwork

Teamwork was built for client work. That’s why you can use it for billing, invoicing, time tracking, setting time budgets per project, and forecasting. And it’s why you can do it all with our Grow plan. We know that tracking every dollar is essential.

Priced perfectly for client work

Wrike

Wrike’s plans are built for large businesses. Many of the core features you need are locked away in the Enterprise, Pinnacle, or Marketing plans or sold as separate add-ons without transparent pricing.

Teamwork

Teamwork knows what you need for client work. Our plans are built around your growth stages. All key features are available in our $18 per month Grow plan and not locked away.

Simple to use with no hidden costs

Wrike

Wrike has a steep learning curve. Because it's built primarily for large companies, setup can be confusing. Plus, extra costs like training, certifications, add-ons, and odd ‘licence buckets’ quickly add up.

Teamwork

Teamwork’s client-focused set up makes things easy. Made for — and tested by — thousands of client service companies, everything you need to start is there the second you log in. And our team will help for free.

"We’re all 100% aligned now"

Teamwork was built so you can manage ALL your client work in one platform. From invoicing, to time tracking, to unlimited client access, everything you need to run your client services is in Teamwork.

“My stress is way down because my team members are in the driver’s seat, and I know what’s happening every day.”

Teamwork has the best balance of functionality, price and ease of use... The learning curve is shallow which means people actually use it. The system is flexible and customizable which is great.

What can your team do with Teamwork that you can't with Wrike?

Some of this depends on the plan and how much you spend. (If you are willing to pay hundreds of dollars a month more, you can get some great functionality with Wrike.) To keep things even, this table compares our Grow plan ($18 a month) with Wrike’s Business plan ($24.80 a month) without taking any costly add-ons into account.

Only one of these options was custom-built for client work

Wrike, on the other hand, was built for big businesses with the enterprise features they need, the add-ons they want, and a price point only they can afford.

Wait, can I really manage ALL my client work in Teamwork?

Yes. That’s what Teamwork was built for. You can manage projects, track time, manage billing and invoicing, forecast budgets, handle complex scheduling and resource allocation, and so much more. In short, if your clients need it, we’ve got it. And of course, you can add an unlimited number of clients to Teamwork.

“Teamwork is the first project management tool that I've been able to get clients to actually use with me. I've tried Asana and Trello, and clients just ignored them.”
Rochelle Broder-Singer President/Chief Word Wrangler
But, does Teamwork have an “automation engine”?

Yes! Everything in Teamwork is designed to make your life as easy as possible. Here’s the best part about our automation process: while Wrike’s Business plan only lets you automate 200 actions, you can automate 2000 actions with Teamwork.

“Teamwork is the first thing I open and the last thing I close: it tells me what happened when I was asleep, what I need to do that day, and it helps me plan for the future.”
Renee R Project manager
Does Teamwork have a specific plan for marketing and creative teams like Wrike?

Yes. Unlike Wrike’s plan, all of Teamwork was built for client service and creative businesses. Every plan and every feature is made for your needs. (And we don’t keep our plans hidden behind vague pricing practices.)

“Teamwork is by far the best project management system that I have used. It allows me to pull in everyone who may need to know something. I love the connectivity.”
