A decade ago, the words \u201ccollaboration platform\u201d and \u201ctask management tools\u201d meant very little to us. Most people would probably think of Excel or Gantt charts.<\/p>\n

Today, however, you can list at least a couple of popular task management apps and collaboration tools<\/a> that have been around for some time. In fact, your company probably uses them right now.<\/p>\n

The collaboration market is a huge one, generating almost 12 billion<\/a> dollars in revenue and encouraging predictions for the future.<\/p>\n

And, while Wrike may not be the first app that comes to mind in this landscape (certainly not before Slack or Trello), it\u2019s one of the pioneers of the industry.<\/p>\n

Like all pioneers, Wrike has constantly been challenged by competitors that serve the same market. In this article, we will go over our favorite Wrike alternatives that address some of its deficiencies.<\/p>\n

What is Wrike?<\/h2>\n

\"What<\/p>\n

Founded in 2006, Wrike is an early champion of the project management software industry. The app won the main prize in the B2B category at the Le Web 3 conference in Paris which was its public debut.<\/p>\n

Wrike was bootstrapped for nearly seven years, before receiving $1 million in angel funding in 2012. Three years later, the app secured another $15 million in a new round of investment.<\/p>\n

In January 2021, Wrike was to be acquired by Citrix Systems, an American multinational company with over 400.000 users worldwide. The acquisition was completed in March and the final sum was $2.25 billion.<\/p>\n

When it comes to features, Wrike is known for its minimalistic UI that\u2019s split into two categories: collaboration and project management. It helps teams track tasks through Gantt charts, Kanban boards, and pre-built templates.<\/p>\n

One of the most popular Wrike features is the customization that makes the app different for each team: marketing, sales, finance, etc.\u2014so each team can feel at home using the app\u2019s interface.<\/p>\n

Wrike pricing<\/h3>\n

In terms of pricing, Wrike offers four plans: Free, Professional ($9.80 user\/month), Business ($24.80 user\/month), and Enterprise (price on inquiry).<\/p>\n

The Free plan allows for up to five users, with some important limitations when it comes to the app\u2019s functionality. For example, you won\u2019t get advanced integrations like the ones with Excel or RSS. You\u2019re also limited to 2 GB of storage space.<\/p>\n

Report templates, calendars, Salesforce integration, and time tracking all kick in with the Business plan that\u2019s also marked as \u201cmost popular\u201d. If you choose the Business plan, you can customize it based on the team that will be using the app. So, for example, you have the Wrike for Marketers plan that offers an extension for Adobe Creative Cloud that marketers will find useful.<\/p>\n
