Teamwork.com review

Teamwork.com ranks first because it is built around client work rather than generic tasks, and the agency features arrive on affordable plans. Basics covers Gantt, table, list and board views, unlimited project templates and billable time tracking. Accelerate is the plan most agencies will want: it adds smart intake forms for client requests, 20,000 automations, workload and live capacity planning, time budgets and retainers, invoices built from logged time, and HubSpot and QuickBooks connections. Optimize adds quotes, scheduling by role or skill, tentative work, multi-currency budgets and revenue, cost and profitability insights, plus Salesforce and NetSuite. A free plan covers up to 5 users and 5 projects, and every plan includes role-based permissions, mobile apps, free training and SOC 2 compliance. The trade-off is that full profitability reporting sits behind a sales-led plan, and the AI features move to usage-based credits after an introductory period.

Who it is for

Creative, marketing and digital agencies of 5 to 100 people that bill by time or retainer and want project delivery and profitability in one tool.
