Frequently asked
Wrike alternatives FAQ
- Is Wrike free?
- Wrike has a free plan for essential task management that includes web, desktop and mobile apps, project and task management, and board and table views, but active task limitations apply. Paid plans start at $10 per user per month for Team. Wrike's free plan has no credit card required.
- How much does Wrike cost?
- Team is $10 per user per month for 2 to 15 users and adds AI Essentials, shareable dashboards, interactive Gantt charts and custom fields and workflows. Business is $25 per user per month for 5 to 200 users and adds AI Elite features, templates, standard integrations, resource and capacity planning and workflow customizations. Pinnacle and Apex are contact-us for pricing.
- What is the best alternative to Wrike?
- ClickUp is the closest all-in-one alternative with a generous Free Forever plan. Asana is the stronger choice for cross-functional teams that want polished reporting and portfolios. Jira is better for software teams that need deep workflow customisation. OpenProject and Redmine are the best open source alternatives if you need to self-host, and Plane offers a modern open source option with a free self-hosted edition.
- Does Wrike have a self-hosted option?
- No. Wrike is a cloud-only platform with no self-hosted or open source edition, so your project data lives on Wrike's infrastructure. If self-hosting is a hard requirement, OpenProject offers a free Community edition you can run on your own servers, Redmine is free and open source under the GPL, and Plane has a free self-hosted edition alongside its cloud plans.
- Can I migrate my Wrike data to another tool?
- Migration is possible but rarely automatic. Wrike exports to CSV, Excel and other formats, and most competitors can import from those. In practice you export projects and tasks and re-import them, then rebuild custom fields, workflows, automations, dashboards and permissions in the new tool. Budget for a medium to hard migration rather than a one-click switch.
