Pricing in rand

Wrike lists 3 priced plans: Free at no cost, Team at R165 /user, Business at R413 /user. Every figure is shown in rand, converted from the vendor's own price at the day's reference rate.

The vendor does not say whether VAT is in these figures, so ask before you set them beside a price that does. South African VAT is 15 percent.

All prices are in rand. Where a vendor lists in dollars, pounds or euros we convert at R16.53 per US dollar, R21.86 per pound and R18.53 per euro (European Central Bank reference rates, via Frankfurter, 9 OCT 2026).

Amounts written out in the text of this review are at the reference rate of 2 October 2026. The charts and the calculator use the rates above, so a figure can differ by a rand or two.

Against other project management software

Starting prices of the priced products in the same category, cheapest first. This is a price sort, not a ranking: the cheapest product is not the best one, and some are priced per user, some per month and some excluding VAT.

Bar lengths use a square root scale, so a very high price does not flatten the rest. The figures are exact.

The middle starting price of the paid products here is R170.

A dot is one plan. Free plans and plans on request have no price to place. A per user price is the price of one user.

What Wrike is, with a demo

Overview, 3:11, published 22 August 2023. From the Wrike channel on YouTube.

A video loads from YouTube only when you press play. The still picture before that comes from YouTube's image servers.

Where it falls short

The user ranges on Team and Business, and the contact us pricing for the higher tiers, make budgeting harder for growing teams.

How it compares

Against Smartsheet, Wrike is more request and task oriented. See the full comparison.

Strengths and limits

Strengths

  • A free plan with board and table views
  • A 14 day trial with no credit card
  • Interactive Gantt charts from Team and shareable dashboards
  • Business templatises work and adds AI features
  • Resource planning, budgeting and advanced reporting on Pinnacle

Limits

  • Gantt charts start on Team, not on the free plan
  • Paid plans have user ranges: two to fifteen on Team, five to two hundred on Business
  • Pinnacle and Apex are priced on request

Who it suits

Best for

  • Teams of five to two hundred that want robust project and request management
  • Organisations that want AI features and templated workflows on a business plan
  • Enterprises that need resource planning, budgeting and advanced reporting on Pinnacle

Think twice if

  • You need more than the free plan's board and table views, because Gantt charts start on Team
  • You are a single user, because Team is sold for two to fifteen users
  • You are a large team, because Business stops at two hundred users

In short

A strong choice for a mid sized team that wants real project and request handling. Count your users against the plan ranges first, and use the 14 day trial to test Gantt and dashboards.
