Wrike review
Deep resource planning and reporting for larger teams, with a steep price step past 15 users
Wrike pairs workload, time tracking and reporting tools with review platform ratings of 4.2 on G2 and 4.4 on Capterra, but the price moves from $10 to $25 per user once a team passes 15 people, and the top tiers are quoted by sales.

What Wrike is and who it is for
Wrike is a work management and project management platform from Wrike, Inc. G2 lists the company as serving customers since 2006 (review platform). The AlternativeTo directory describes the product as covering projects, tasks and workflows with Gantt charts, templates, automated request forms, customizable workspaces, collaboration and integrations (third party reported). Ownership has changed more than once. Citrix agreed to acquire Wrike in January 2021 (third party reported), and an encyclopedia entry records that Wrike separated from Citrix Systems in September 2022 and that ownership passed to Symphony Technology Group in July 2023 (third party reported).
Wrike suits teams that need resource planning, workload views, approvals and portfolio reporting, and that are large enough to use them. The Team plan covers 2 to 15 users and the Business plan covers 5 to 200 users (third party reported), so the product is built for teams that expect to grow into the higher tiers. Small teams that want the quickest setup are better served by Asana or monday.com, which G2 ease of use scores place ahead of Wrike (third party reported, relaying platform data).
What Wrike does
Wrike is project management software that handles tasks, projects, Gantt charts, templates and request forms, and independent review coverage singles out its workload views, time tracking and capacity forecasting as the strongest areas (third party reported). One independent review says these tools are stronger than those in Asana, monday.com or ClickUp, that Wrike dashboards offer more than 50 widget types, and that request forms combine with approval chains and conditional logic to support governance (third party reported). Another review says resource management, creative proofing and portfolio reporting go deeper than lighter tools manage (third party reported).
Wrike lists more than 400 integrations, including Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Drive, Salesforce, Adobe Creative Cloud and Tableau, plus an API (third party reported). Wrike Sync offers two way sync across 22 integrated systems, including Jira and GitHub. Wrike Integrate, Wrike Datahub, Wrike Lock and the AI Elite action pack are separate products priced through sales (third party reported). Third party reports say metered AI action quotas began in April 2026, which matters for teams that plan to rely on the AI features.
The most consistent criticism in review coverage concerns ease of use. G2 scores Wrike 7.9/10 for ease of use and 7.8/10 for ease of setup, behind Asana and monday.com (third party reported, relaying platform data). Capterra scores ease of use at 4.2 and customer service at 4.3 out of 5 (third party reported, relaying platform data). On security, one pricing report lists single sign-on among the features included at Pinnacle, the sales quoted tier (third party reported), which matters for buyers who need single sign-on on a lower plan.
Review platform volume is large. G2 shows an average of 4.2 from 4,735 reviews, and another report cites 4,520, so sources disagree on the count. The G2 listing marks some reviews as invited on behalf of the seller or as incentivized (review platform). Capterra shows 4.4 from 2,883 reviews (review platform), while Wrike's own blog cites 3,035 reviews and says 92% of first half 2026 reviewers would recommend the product, against a 90% category average (vendor sourced). Other platform figures relayed by a review site are 8.5/10 on TrustRadius from more than 1,400 reviews, 4.7/5 on Gartner Peer Insights from 382 reviews, and 3.9/5 on Trustpilot (third party reported). The same report lists a 2025 TrustRadius Buyer's Choice Award and a Gartner Peer Insights Customers' Choice distinction for project portfolio management (third party reported).
Wrike pricing
Prices below are per user per month with annual billing, as reported by third party pricing pages that quote the vendor's public prices.
- Free: $0 for unlimited users. One source reports a cap of 200 active tasks (third party reported).
- Team: $10 for 2 to 15 users (third party reported).
- Business: $25 for 5 to 200 users (third party reported). Business and above are billed annually only.
- Pinnacle: quoted by sales, with no published rate (third party reported).
- Apex: quoted by sales. It is described as the newest tier, above Pinnacle (third party reported).
- Whiteboard: a $15 per user per month add on, included with Apex (third party reported).
- Trial: 14 days with no credit card (third party reported).
Sources disagree on the exact Business price. Most list $25, one lists $24.80 for Business and $9.80 for Team, and one lists $29 in a table and $25 in its FAQ. Older snapshots call the top tier Enterprise instead of Apex.
Total cost runs above the entry price. Team stops at 15 users, so growing past that moves the whole team from $10 to $25 per seat (third party reported). With the five user minimum on Business, the practical entry cost is about $1,500 a year before tax (third party reported). One source reports a median contract of $20,832 a year based on 135 verified purchases (third party reported). Sync, Datahub, Lock, Integrate and AI Elite are quoted separately and add to that figure.
Wrike pros
- Workload views, time tracking and capacity forecasting that one independent review rates above Asana, monday.com and ClickUp.
- Large review platform volume, with G2 at 4.2 from roughly 4,700 reviews and Capterra at 4.4 from nearly 2,900 reviews.
- Request forms with approval chains and conditional logic support structured intake and sign off.
- More than 400 integrations plus an API, including Slack, Microsoft Teams, Salesforce and Adobe Creative Cloud.
- A free plan for unlimited users and a Team plan at $10 per user per month cover small teams that want to start cheaply.
Wrike cons
- Pricing steps up sharply past 15 users, when the whole team moves from $10 to $25 per seat.
- Pinnacle, Apex and several add ons are quoted by sales, so the cost of advanced features and AI actions is not public.
- G2 ease of use and ease of setup scores sit behind Asana and monday.com, which is a drawback for teams without a dedicated administrator.
- Trustpilot shows 3.9/5, with complaints that skew toward billing and cancellation (third party reported).
- The free plan reportedly caps active tasks at 200, which limits it to light use.
How Wrike compares
- Asana: choose it when ease of use ranks first, because G2 ease of use scores relayed by one review site place Wrike behind Asana.
- monday.com: choose it when setup speed matters, because G2 ease of setup places Wrike at 7.8/10 behind monday.com.

Wrike verdict
Wrike earns a place on the shortlist for teams that need workload views, time tracking, approvals and portfolio reporting, backed by review platform ratings of 4.2 on G2 and 4.4 on Capterra from thousands of reviews. It does not suit small teams that want the simplest setup, and it gets expensive once a team passes 15 users or needs the quoted tiers and add ons. It is right for growing teams with structured workflows and a budget for the Business plan or above, and not right for small teams that value speed of setup over depth.
