Every platform here that costs less than Wrike gives up something we verified. There is no cheaper like-for-like, so the question is which feature you are willing to trade, and the cards below name it for each one. That is a point in its favour, not a dodge.
Why people look for an alternative

What Wrike is still the best answer for
A mid-sized team that expects to grow into resource planning, budgeting and BI, and can commit to a year up front.
On this site it is the pick for growing into portfolios and governance and the one most teams know. Which is why nothing cheaper here matches it.

We compare 14 of them here, every one priced at the same size off its own pricing page, and the whole list of 15 is on the task management page.

How to read the feature lines
Two features were checked against each vendor's own pricing page: a price that does not move with users and a free plan. Those are the ones written above as does and does not. The other 14 are read out of each vendor's own pricing page, so an absence there means we did not find it listed, not that the product lacks it, and those lines say lists and does not list instead. How all of this gets checked.
Or let it pick for you
This page compares everything to Wrike. The shortlist asks 6 questions about who the work is for and how you like to see it, and gives you four picks priced at your own team size, which is a better question than “what is like the one I already have”.
