Wrike review
Bottom line
Wrike is a work management platform for planning and delivering projects, with a free tier and AI tools layered over boards, Gantt charts, and dashboards. Its clearest strength is depth: governance controls, customer-managed encryption, and a wide integration catalog suit larger organizations. The main cost to watch is that budgeting, advanced resource planning, and the top tiers are priced only on request, and the AI action allowances scale with plan. Teams that need structured project delivery across departments, especially in marketing, PMO, and professional services, should evaluate Wrike first.
What is Wrike?
Wrike is work management software that helps teams plan, assign, track, and deliver projects from one shared workspace. It addresses the common problem of work spread across email, spreadsheets, and chat, giving project managers and contributors a single record of tasks, owners, deadlines, and status. Wrike was named a Leader in the 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Collaborative Work Management, its fourth consecutive year in that report.
Day to day, teams start with boards, tables, and task lists, then add interactive Gantt charts, dashboards, and dynamic request forms that route intake work into the right workflow. Automation rules handle repetitive steps, and approvals, online proofing, and time tracking support creative and client work. Wrike Copilot answers questions about projects and summarizes long comment threads, while AI agents can carry out repeatable workflows. Users can work from web, desktop, and mobile apps, and the Wrike API supports custom connections.
Wrike serves freelancers, small businesses, mid-size companies, and enterprises. Marketing, product, PMO, operations, creative, and IT teams are common users. The Free plan covers basic task and project management at $0 per user per month. The Team plan starts at $10 per user per month billed annually and supports 2 to 15 users. The Business plan costs $25 per user per month and supports 5 to 200 users. Pinnacle and Apex are priced on request, and both add advanced resource planning, budgeting, and reporting for complex operations.
Wrike differs from simpler task tools in its depth of governance and integration. Its permissions model applies the same boundaries to AI actions as to people, and customers can manage their own encryption keys through Wrike Lock. The platform connects to more than 400 apps, including Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Workspace, Salesforce, Jira, and GitHub, and Wrike Sync supports two-way syncs with 22 systems. Wrike also offers a two-week free trial with no credit card required.
