Workamajig review
Bottom line
Workamajig is an agency operating system that pairs project management and resourcing with native accounting and client billing. Its clearest strength is that estimates, time entries, invoices, and profitability reporting share one set of records, so margins can be tracked without exporting data. The main cost to watch is that agency and enterprise pricing is not published, and implementation runs two to three months. It suits mid-size advertising and marketing agencies that have outgrown spreadsheets and separate billing tools.
What is Workamajig?
Workamajig is web-based agency management software built for advertising, marketing, and creative agencies, as well as in-house creative teams. It combines project management, sales CRM, resource scheduling, time tracking, billing, and accounting in one system. The problem it addresses is common in agencies: sales, project management, and billing run in separate tools, so project costs and margins stay hidden until much later. The company behind it, Creative Manager, Inc., was founded in 2001.
Day to day, a project typically starts as an estimate and moves into a schedule. Team members log time against projects, and the resourcing view shows who is available and who is overbooked. Creative teams use proofing, markup, and approval routing to collect client sign-off, while finance staff send invoices, chargebacks, and vendor bills from the same records. Workmate, the built-in AI assistant, answers plain-English questions about utilization and profitability, drafts client status updates, turns meeting notes into action items, and reminds staff to log missing time. Its MCP connector, currently in beta, lets teams link Claude, ChatGPT, or another assistant to their Workamajig data.
Agencies of all sizes use the platform, along with in-house marketing teams. In-house pricing is per user per month, starting at $45 for teams of 50 or more and rising to $49 for teams of 10 or more, with one month free on annual payment. Agency plan pricing is provided on request, and enterprise plans for 100 to 10,000+ users are custom-quoted. Implementation takes two to three months and includes training sessions run through a browser-based session with a dedicated trainer.
Many tools in this category handle project tracking well but leave accounting to a separate system. Workamajig includes a general ledger, P&L reporting, accounts payable and receivable, and Excel export within the same product, along with multi-currency billing. Its media module imports broadcast and print orders from Strata, GaleForce Media, and Mediaocean, then matches vendor invoices to those orders. Enterprise customers can run roll-up reports across multiple GL companies and offices, use single sign-on, and install on-premise if required, with an open API available throughout.
