Wrike is the tool marketing agencies and professional services firms choose when they need serious project management. Resource management, time tracking, custom workflows, cross-project dashboards — Wrike has all of it. Wrike also costs 22.50 per seat per month on the Business plan, which is where most serious teams end up.

If you are a large marketing agency with a dedicated PMO and complex resource allocation needs, Wrike is worth it. If you are a small to mid-sized team, Wrike is a price gouge.
