Wrike Pricing – Plan Comparison Guide 2024

Wrike pricing starts with the Team plan, which costs $10 per user, per month for between 2 and 15 users. For between 5 and 200 users, you can go with the Business plan, which costs $24.80 per user, per month. On top of all that, Wrike offers a brilliant free tier that our testers credit as one of the best free project management software available.

If you’re part of a large business or team, Wrike also offers two enterprise-level plans with custom pricing that allow for unlimited users and offers more automations, better reporting, and more robust security protocols to secure company data.

In this guide, you’ll learn about all the Wrike pricing plans, including what they offer, who they’re best for, and what kind of alternatives are available if this project management software just isn’t the best fit.

Wrike Pricing Plans

Similar to the rest of the project management software industry, Wrike offers five pricing tiers: one free option and four different paid 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 – if you don’t work this out, you’ll incur unnecessary project management costs.

It’s worth noting that Wrike only scored 3.7/5 for value on our last round of project management testing (Summer 2023) and has pricier plans than the likes of ClickUp, which was awarded a 4.4/5 for value for money thanks to a great free plan and a first paid plan that retails at just $7 per user, per month.

• Wrike Free Plan – no cost at all
• Wrike Team Costs – $10 per user, per month
• Wrike Business Costs – $24.80 per user, per month
• Wrike Enterprise – custom pricing only (contact sales)
• Wrike Pinnacle Costs – custom pricing only (contact sales)

Wrike Free is the starting point for Wrike pricing and actually has no user limit, which is unusual for a free plan. Next, Wrike Team is where small teams should turn when they outgrow the capabilities of the free tier – it has a user minimum of 2 and a maximum of 25.  Wrike Business is for companies of up to 200 people, or those with more advanced needs. Finally, Enterprise is for large companies and has no user limit, as does Pinnacle (which has even more features geared toward large businesses).

Hidden costs and fees

In terms of added costs, Wrike charges an extra fee for its Wrike Integrate and Wrike Sync add-ons, which are only available for the Business plan and above. Integrate allows users to automate processes by connecting to a series of cloud and on-premises apps. With Sync, meanwhile, users can create two-way syncs between their accounts and programs like Jira. Wrike does not publicly disclose its pricing for these add-ons, but users can try them for free as part of a plan free trial.

Wrike Free plan

As its name suggests, Wrike Free has no cost for unlimited 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 chart view, and basic task management.

You also get custom work views, including Kanban boards, email integration, and 2GB of storage space. 

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

Wrike Team costs

Wrike Team is priced at $10 per user, per month (billed annually). This plan used to be called the Professional plan and the user limit parameters have changed several times. But, according to Wrike’s website, it’s currently a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 25, and is ideal for growing teams who may imminently have new additions through the door who need to hit the ground running.

For that money, Wrike adds unlimited projects, subtasks, custom fields, and request forms. There are Gantt charts at this level for those who want to use this method to manage their projects and scheduling.

Wrike also adds shareable dashboards, more integrations (including MS Project and Excel), and 2GB of storage per user. This is the first Wrike pricing plan with automations, and each user in your team will be able to create 50 per month. 

The plan supports 20 free collaborators, meaning you can invite non-team members such as contractors, clients, or colleagues from other company departments. Wrike Team is also a great plan for integrations and will connect seamlessly with DropBox, OneDrive, Google Drive, and Slack.

Wrike Business costs

Wrike Business is great for mid-sized teams or several, smaller teams operating across a business while working together. Business starts at $24.80 per user, per month (billed annually), and has a user limit of 200, as well as a storage limit of 5GB per user.

The business plan adds project portfolio management, time tracking, shared real-time reports, report templates, analytics graphs, calendars, and project folders. 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 task and project approval.

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.

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; and Wrike Sync, for setting up two-way syncs between your Wrike account and 22 different integrated systems, including Jira and GitHub.

Wrike Enterprise costs

Finally, we come to Wrike Enterprise, which doesn’t offer any public pricing, but you’ll be able to get a custom quote from a sales rep instead (although there’s a 14-day free trial, too). This tier adds the features you’d expect for large businesses and teams, including SAML 2.0 single sign-on support, user audit reports, admin permissions, 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, the Enterprise plan supports 10GB of storage space per user.

Wrike Pinnacle costs

Like the Enterprise plan, the Pinnacle plan is full of features large businesses will appreciate, but is specifically geared towards large teams with complex needs.

As well as everything on the Enterprise plan, Pinnacle users will have advanced analytics and data visualizations, the ability to assign job roles, dedicated budgeting tools and billable hours, 1,500 automations per user, per month, and 15GB of storage per user, which is 5GB more than the Enterprise plan.

The Pinnacle plan, like the Enterprise plan, currently does not have any public pricing, but you’ll be able to test it out for 14 days for free.

What Is Wrike Good at, and Who Is it Best For?

On our last round of testing, Wrike excelled when it came to complex task management – in fact, one of our researchers said it was the best project management software for managing complicated tasks. This makes Wrike a good choice for teams that have complex, multi-faceted tasks to complete.

Wrike scores of 4.7/5 for task management and 3.6/5 for project and workflow creation, making it a good project management program for gaining visibility and clarity over what needs doing and what’s already done.

Some of the best pros of Wrike include:

• Plenty of data visualization tools for displaying project data
• Multiple ways to view tasks, including a spreadsheet view with formulas
• A dedicated resource management feature and a workaround budget management feature
• Integration with Salesforce, Microsoft Teams, and Slack

Areas Wrike could improve on include:

• Customer support – there’s no onboarding assistance, phone, live chat, or 24/7 support
• Pricing – A lot of Wrike’s best features are locked away on pricier plans
• Free plan features – ClickUp’s free plan has many more useful tools
• Integrations – monday.com’s Standard plan has a lot more

Wrike Alternatives

Like our top-rated provider, ClickUp’s pricing, Wrike starts with a free plan, but Wrike’s paid plans start at $10 per user, per month. This is more expensive than ClickUp’s Unlimited plan ($7 per user, per month), and the Unlimited plan is the better plan for features. There is a 5-user limit, however (Wrike’s free plan has no user limit).

Project management giant monday.com, on the other hand, has a free plan with a user limit of 2 and then starts its paid plan pricing at $9 per user, per month on the annual plan. Smartsheet, our easiest-to-use provider, also charges $9 per user, per month for its Pro plan.

Head-to-head

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. monday.com scores 4.7/5 against our 2023 testing criteria, which is the highest current score of the 10 providers we regularly test, while Wrike scores 4.4/5.

With lots of automation built in and a fundamentally customizable platform, monday.com beats Wrike when it comes to project and workflow creation features, scoring 4.3/5 to Wrike’s 3.6/5. It’s definitely more stylishly designed than Wrike and our researchers found it slightly easier to use, awarding monday.com an ease of use score of 4.5/5 compared to Wrike’s 4.1/5.

monday.com has a better range of collaboration features than Wrike, offering a calendar on more plans, plus 24/7 support on all of monday.com’s plans.

monday.com and Wrike are tied with perfect 5/5 security scores. Both offer precautions such as 2-factor authentication on their most expensive plans geared towards enterprises, guest access, and Google authentication.

Wrike vs ClickUp

Affordability and functionality are priorities for ClickUp, which is the second-best project management tool we’ve tested, scoring a 4.6/5. It scores just below Wrike for ease of use (3.9/5 vs Wrike’s 4.1/5) but has a better range of task management options (4.9/5 vs Wrike’s 4.7/5) and better customer support options too, including 24/7 live support, which Wrike doesn’t offer.

Plus with lots of customizability, you can make it work for you. ClickUp’s free plan is a bit more robust than Wrike’s no-fee equivalent, while its paid plans have an impressive number of efficiency-boosting tools (such as pre-built and custom automation on every plan) considering ClickUp is one of the cheapest providers out there.

What’s New in 2024?

In keeping with most other project management platforms currently on the market, Wrike is not shy to roll out updates and new features, ensuring that customers get a lot of bang for their buck.

In September 2024, for instance, Wrike made it possible for users to easily copy custom views to other locations, subprojects, and subfolders, a nifty way of streamlining project management.

Alongside this, Wrike Business and above users can now switch between Weekly and Monthly view and allocate time accordingly. For task managers, this will make life a lot easier by allowing you to differentiate between smaller and bigger tasks.

Similarly, “Flexible Effort” gives users the option to provide time estimates as a percentage of actual user capacity. This is then visible in table format, for better visibility. In this way, Wrike is taking the sting out of task management by offering a broader range of customization options.
