Wrike Review (2022) – Forbes Advisor

At $9.80 per user per month, Wrike is more expensive than some other project management tools but its power lies in its ability to support both project management and collaborative work.

Although Wrike did not make it to our list of top project management apps, it has some awesome features to help you manage your projects as well as tasks outside the purview of any project.

Wrike Plans and Pricing

Wrike offers a total of five plans, ranging from a basic free option all the way up to top-of-the-line enterprise options. For more details, check out our complete guide to Wrike’s pricing and plans.

The Free account is not much more than a shared task list for small teams though you can use it for getting a feel before you go for paid plans. The project progress can be tracked using different views though the Gantt chart view is not available. The number of active tasks and subtasks is also capped at 200, which can be very limiting even for individuals.

The Professional plan is a good starting point for very small teams for planning projects and collaborating on them. You get the Gantt chart view, which is a strategy that many teams use to track their projects.

It is the Business plan where things start getting interesting as you gain access to work management tools. The Business plan has everything you could need for project and work management for large teams. But, if you want added security controls, consider the Enterprise plan. If you have complex needs, you can even explore Pinnacle for advanced analytics and team management tools.

Features

The Wrike dashboard has a modern minimalist look with three vertical panes on the home screen. The left pane is the navigation bar, which gives you access to all your projects and teams. In the middle pane, you create tasks and subtasks in the right spaces. You can think of these spaces as folders in your operating system Explorer window. When you click on any of these spaces you can see the details on the right pane. You can create and customize multiple dashboards and share them with different team members.

Besides managing projects, Wrike also enables you to manage your daily tasks. These tasks may be one-time or recurring; you can create them, assign them to your team members and set due dates.
