Client work, without the CRM in another subscription.

What sets us apart
Teamwork sends you to Salesforce for the CRM. We include it.
Their pricing page recommends integrating HubSpot or Salesforce, because there is no CRM in Teamwork. In Spodus the CRM is one of five products already sharing the record.
Teamwork.com
Projects and Desk, no CRM
- $9.99 per user a month on Basics, $24.99 on Accelerate, both billed yearly.
- Minimum user counts per plan: three on Basics, five on Accelerate.
- No CRM at all. Their own pricing page points you at HubSpot or Salesforce instead.
- Usage-based AI credits are scheduled to start in September 2026.
Spodus
The whole suite, one seat
- Quoted per seat, one flat rate at any size, with a five-seat minimum, the same as Accelerate's own floor.
- The CRM is included, sharing a record with the invoice and the ticket.
- Five seats or fifty, one rate the whole way, never a step per tier.
- Five products, one rate, with nothing metered and nothing sold on top.
What the bill is counted by
Then buy a CRM.
Teamwork Basics is $9.99 per user a month billed yearly with a three-user minimum, so ten people is $99.90.
Teamwork.com figures are their own published prices as of August 2026.
A Spodus bill has one meter.
- Seats, and only seats: the people you give a login.
- Not contacts, not the customers in your portal, not payroll headcount.
- No packs, no bands. The eleventh person is one more seat.
- One rate covers all five products. A plan sets limits and controls, never which products you get.
The argument
Why teams switch.
Three arguments for moving off Teamwork.com, the row-by-row table behind them, and one argument against.
- 01
No CRM to go and buy
Teamwork's own pricing page recommends integrating HubSpot or Salesforce. That is a second subscription and an integration to maintain before a client record exists.
- 02
The floor doesn't move with the tier
Basics needs three users and Accelerate five; Spodus asks for five too, at one flat rate that never steps as you grow.
- 03
The money side is included
Invoicing and payments sit on the same client as the deal and the ticket, rather than in whatever tool you bolt on for billing.
Side by side.

The honest part
Being fair about it.
Where Teamwork.com fits better: client project delivery.
Does Spodus track time against projects?
It tracks the time. Every plan has a timer and a weekly timesheet, and a task can hold a rate, an estimate and a billable flag. It does not bill from any of it: those values live in an overlay the rest of the product cannot read, so nothing turns tracked hours into an invoice. Teamwork builds its billing around exactly that. If that is how you invoice clients, it is a real reason to stay.
Do we still need a CRM alongside Spodus?
No. The CRM is one of the five products and shares its records with invoicing, support and HR. Teamwork's pricing page recommends integrating HubSpot or Salesforce because it does not include one.
Can we import from Teamwork?
Yes. Export your clients, projects and tasks and import them by CSV or a guided import, mapped onto Spodus records.
