What sets us apart
Wrike does one job. Spodus does five.
Everything you'd bolt onto Wrike, and pay for separately, is already in one Spodus seat.
Wrike
The work management tool
- Wrike Team is $10 per user a month, $25 on Business, both billed annually.
- Seats sold in groups of five up to 30, then in tens, then in twenty-fives.
- Plans banded by headcount: Team runs 2 to 15 users, Business 5 to 200.
- Work management only, with no CRM, invoicing, help desk or HR in any tier.
Spodus
The whole suite, one seat
- One rate per seat, billed annually, with a five-seat minimum and no packs.
- Add the eleventh person without buying four you do not have.
- Five finished products, CRM, finance, HR, support and a shared inbox.
- One customer record carrying the deal, the invoice and the ticket together.
What the bill is counted by
The eleventh person costs you four more.
Wrike Team is $10 per user a month billed annually and seats are sold in groups of five, so a team of eleven buys fifteen.
Wrike 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 Wrike, the row-by-row table behind them, and one argument against.
- 01
No seat packs to round up to
Wrike sells users in groups of five, so the eleventh person costs you four more. Spodus sells one seat at a time, at the same rate whatever the count.
- 02
No plan that expires at fifteen people
Wrike's Team plan stops at 15 users and Business starts at 5, so growth means a migration. Every self-serve Spodus plan runs to fifty people, and moving up buys capability rather than headroom.
- 03
Five products, not one tracker
Wrike tracks work. It does not hold a pipeline, raise an invoice, answer a ticket or carry an employee record.

The honest part
Being fair about it.
Where Wrike fits better: request forms, proofing and approvals, and resource management are genuinely deeper.
Can Spodus replace Wrike?
For task and project work around customers, yes: tasks, assignment, due dates, and board, table and calendar views. For proofing, approval workflows and resource planning, no. Those are not in Spodus and are among the reasons to keep Wrike.
What happens when we outgrow a plan?
You move up for what Growth adds — the audit log and per-person permissions — not because you have run out of seats. Custom objects and workflow webhooks are already in Starter, and neither plan takes a product away.
Can we import our projects?
Yes. Export from Wrike and bring tasks and projects in by CSV or a guided import, mapped onto Spodus records.
