Wrike Pricing Plans Compared

Wrike Pricing Plans

Similar to the rest of the project management software industry, Wrike offers five pricing tiers: one free option and four different options for businesses and enterprises. Choosing the pricing plan that's right for your team depends on what you want to use Wrike for, as well as how many people will need access to project management software.

• Wrike Free – completely free
• Wrike Professional – $9.80 per user, per month
• Wrike Business – $24.80 per user, per month
• Wrike for Marketers – no public pricing
• Wrike Enterprise – no public pricing

Wrike Free is the starting point for project management, with a limit of five users. Next, Wrike Professional is where small teams should turn when they outgrow the capabilities of the free tier. Professional has fixed team sizes, meaning you can't choose to pay for 12 or 14 seats – it's 5, 10, or 15, and that's it.

Wrike Business is for larger companies of up to 200 people, or those with more advanced needs. Meanwhile, Wrike for Marketers makes it pretty clear who should be using this tier, with a minimum team size of five and no maximum. 

Finally, Enterprise is for large companies, though it does allow for as few as five people for small teams within a large company.

Wrike Free Plan

As its name suggests, Wrike Free has no cost for up to five users. This is an ideal tier for individuals looking to manage their freelance or side projects. It's also a good starting point for teams that are still finding their feet. Wrike Free is a barebones service featuring only the basics, including a board view, a spreadsheet view, and basic task management.

You also get a real-time activity stream, integrations with popular services such as Google Drive, Dropbox, and OneDrive, and 2GB of storage space. 

That's about all there is to Wrike Free. It's a great starting point for small teams, and probably about all you’d need for an individual.

Wrike Professional Costs

Wrike Professional is priced at $9.80 per user, per month (billed annually), but as we mentioned earlier, you can only use this tier by paying for 5, 10, or 15 users. That means you'll be paying a minimum of $588, or at most $1,764 per year for project management.

For that money, Wrike adds subtasks, though the free version can also use checklists within a given task to essentially offer the same thing. There are Gantt charts at this level for those who want to use this method to manage their projects and scheduling. It also adds shareable dashboards, more integrations (including MS Project and Excel), 5GB of storage space, and up to 15GB of video uploads per month.

Professional supports collaborators, meaning you can invite non-team members such as contractors, clients, or colleagues from other company departments. Free can sort of do this if you assign someone one of the five spots on a Wrike Free team, and then remove them later on. That's a bit of a hack, though, and not the same as having a built-in feature to invite collaborators as needed.

Professional also supports one of Wrike's specialized add-ons: Wrike Proof. This tool assists the team in getting input and required approvals on an asset, such as a new webpage design. Proof can include people within the team, as well as collaborators.

To sum it all up, Professional adds all the basics missing from the Free tier, and bumps up the storage limits.

Wrike Business Costs

Wrike Business is great for mid-sized teams, or smaller teams with more advanced needs. Business starts at $24.80 per user, per month (billed annually), but that only applies to teams of up to 50. After that, it appears you need to speak with Wrike's sales teams, which is where the volume discounts must also come in.

Business adds customizable fields and workflows, shared real-time reports, report templates, analytics graphs, and calendars. You can create request forms if your organization requires that kind of “paper trail” before work gets started. The Business tier is also where Wrike adds its built-in time tracking tool.

Administration becomes important at this level, with the ability to create user groups and assign permissions. Salesforce integration is also included with Wrike Business if your team is using the popular customer relationship management platform.

You can also customize the workspace with your company's branding, instead of looking at Wrike's logo all the time. Wrike Business provides 50GB of storage space, which is quite an increase from the 5GB offered by Wrike Professional, although video uploads remain the same at 15GB per month.

Wrike Business and the higher tiers also support a wide range of Wrike's specialized add-ons, which offer key features for an extra cost. There's Wrike Integrate, for creating custom integrations with more than 400 cloud-based and on-premises apps; Wrike Resource, for planning and staff allocation; and Wrike Publish, for connecting to digital asset management (DAM) systems. For coding shops, there's also support for two-way sync with GitHub and Jira.

Wrike for Marketers Costs

Now we get into the last two tiers, which lack any public pricing. Wrike refers to these last two as “solutions” rather than plans, as they are geared at specific types of teams. 

The marketing solution includes the Wrike Proof add-on as part of the base plan, as well as Wrike Publish. It also offers the Wrike Extension for Adobe Creative Cloud, which allows you to work with Wrike from inside Adobe CC. On top of that, Wrike creates a “tailored workspace” that has a default workflow for creative teams, plus a dashboard with file previews, reports, and request forms.

Wrike Enterprise Costs

Finally we come to Wrike Enterprise, which again doesn't offer any public pricing, so you need to talk to a sales rep to get an accurate quote. This tier adds the features you'd expect for large businesses, including Active Directory integration, SAML 2.0 single sign-on support, and two-factor authentication.

IT departments get to enforce password policies, allowing them to reject dreaded (and easily hackable) user choices such as “password123”. There are also various administrative permissions, and you can generate user audit reports in case an account is being abused. For teams that want to restrict use to specific IP addresses, there are also network access and compliance policies.

Companies that use business intelligence solutions such as Microsoft's Power BI can export their Wrike data to these tools using the company's application programming interface (API). Tableau users can opt for using Wrike's own integration tool, however. Finally, Enterprise is the only tier that supports the Wrike Lock add-on for controlling data security, which comes at an additional cost.

Finally, Enterprise supports 100GB of storage space, but holds the line at only 15GB of video uploads per month.

Wrike Alternatives

If, after all this information, you don't think Wrike is the right project management software for you, no harm done. There are dozens of great options when it comes to these kinds of platforms and we can help you find the perfect fit for your business' particular needs.

Wrike vs monday.com

If you don't need a whole lot of features and are looking for a modern interface that's easy to use, monday.com provides a great option. With lots of automation built in and a fundamentally customizable platform, you'll be able to tackle lots of tasks without breaking a sweat. It's definitely more stylishly designed than Wrike, but is missing some advanced features, so make sure that's what you need before making a decision.

Wrike vs ClickUp

Affordability and functionality is the name of the game when it comes to ClickUp. It's a bit more bare bones, with very limited enterprise-level features, but it represents a great option for individuals and small teams looks to improve project management on a smaller scale. Plus with lots of customizability, you can make it work for you. Plus it's free plan is a bit more robust than Wrike, although it's paid plans leave a bit to be desired in comparison.
