Wrike is a collaborative work management platform founded in 2006 and headquartered in San Jose, California. Owned by Citrix since 2021, it serves over 20,000 organizations including Google, Walmart, and Siemens. In January 2026, Wrike restructured its pricing, retiring the Enterprise plan for new customers and introducing a new Apex tier at the top of the lineup. AI usage quotas for AI Elite features took effect in April 2026.
The current five-tier structure: Free (unlimited users, basic task management, 200 active tasks), Team at $10/user/month (annual, up to 25 users, adds Gantt charts, dashboards, unlimited tasks), Business at $25/user/month (annual, minimum 5 seats, adds custom fields, request forms, resource management, automation up to 200 actions/month), Pinnacle (custom pricing, ~$50/user/month, adds advanced analytics and resource planning), and Apex (introduced January 2026, custom pricing ~$60–80/user/month, the highest tier replacing Enterprise for new accounts, includes Wrike Integrate, Sync, and Datahub).
Business plans require annual billing — no monthly option. Team plan supports monthly or annual billing. Business seats are sold in groups of 5 for accounts under 30 users. For a 5-seat Business team, the minimum spend is $125/month ($1,500/year) before any add-ons.
Wrike’s strengths are strong Gantt chart functionality with drag-and-drop dependency rescheduling, detailed dashboards and reporting, and broad integration capabilities including Salesforce, NetSuite, and Adobe Creative Cloud on Business and above. The Apex tier includes Wrike Integrate (automation across 400+ apps) and Wrike Datahub for advanced data management.
The main weaknesses are a steep learning curve for initial setup, Business plan’s 5-seat minimum, seats sold in groups rather than individually, and higher pricing compared to ClickUp ($12/user) or Asana at comparable feature levels.
