Pricing compared
Smartsheet's South African page lists Pro at R170 and Business at R359 per member per month billed yearly, or R230 and R450 billed monthly. Wrike lists Team at about R167 and Business at about R418 per user per month billed annually. At the entry level the two sit close together, with Smartsheet's Pro a little above Wrike's Team. The structural difference is that Smartsheet gives away contributor seats, which helps when many people only need to update work.
