No credit card. Cloud or self-hosted. ## The short answer Wrike is a capable work management platform and it is genuinely strong on creative and marketing work. Teams look around for three reasons: the entry Team plan only runs from 2 to 15 users, every person is another line on the bill, and the published pricing is annual, so the smallest commitment is a year. Orangescrum is a flat monthly price with unlimited users on every plan, and there is a self-hosted edition if you need to run it on your own servers. If your work runs on creative proofing and approval rounds, or you have built your whole structure on Wrike's folders and cross-tagging, do not switch. Those are real things we do not have. ## When Wrike is _the better choice_ We would rather you find this out here than three weeks into a trial. - **You run creative proofing and approvals**Wrike lets reviewers mark up images, video, and PDFs in place, and routes them through approval rounds. This is the strongest thing it does and we do not have creative proofing at all. If your week is built around getting artwork signed off, Wrike wins outright. - **You need one task to live in several places**Wrike's folder and cross-tagging model lets the same item appear under a client, a campaign, and a department at once. Our model is projects and tasks, which is simpler but does not do that. Large matrixed organisations often depend on it. - **You are administering a very large rollout**Wrike is built for organisations running hundreds of people across departments, with custom item types, department level admin, and enterprise controls. If that is your scale and your governance requirement, it is on firmer ground than we are. - **You want a free cloud tier for a group**Wrike's free plan covers basic project and task management across web, desktop, and mobile. Our free cloud plan is one project and one user. If free cloud for a small group is what you need and basic task management is enough, take theirs. ## Why teams move from _Wrike_ ### The bill stops tracking headcount One flat monthly price for the whole team. Adding a person costs nothing, so nobody has to be left out of the tool to keep the invoice down. ### No plan user ceiling Wrike's Team plan runs from 2 to 15 users and Business needs at least 5 and caps at 200. Orangescrum has unlimited users on every plan, so growth never forces a plan change. ### Monthly billing, nothing to commit to Our price is a monthly price. You can leave after a month. There is no annual agreement to sign before you find out whether the tool suits your team. ### A self-hosted edition exists Wrike states it is entirely cloud based with no on-premise deployment. Orangescrum Self-Hosted runs on your own infrastructure, private cloud, or an air gapped network. ### One tool, not four Time tracking, budget and cost, invoicing, documents, and resource planning are in the same product rather than bought or bolted on separately. ### Migration is done for you Our team maps and moves your folders, projects, tasks, users, custom fields, and comment history, then validates it with you before cutover. There is no charge. ## Orangescrum compared with _Wrike_ Wrike figures were read from [their pricing page](https://www.wrike.com/price/) on 2026-08-03.

Its Team plan is shown at $10 per user per month billed on an annual basis, and no monthly-billing rate appears on the page. Orangescrum Pro Unlimited is $69 per month for the whole team, billed monthly, with nothing to commit to for a year. Setting an annual commitment beside a monthly one in the same table would flatter us and mislead you, so we have not built one. If you want the sum, work out your own Wrike annual total for your headcount and put it next to $828 a year. ## Moving off Wrike The folder structure is the part people worry about, because a Wrike account that has been running for years is rarely tidy. We map it with you before anything moves, and there is no charge for the work. 1. **Show us the structure**How many folders and projects, roughly how many tasks, which custom fields matter, and which cross-tagged items need to end up in more than one place. 2. **We map it**Folders, projects, tasks, subtasks, custom fields, and users are mapped to Orangescrum, and you see the mapping before we run anything. 3. **Trial run**We import into a sandbox so your team can open it and check that the work landed where they expected. 4. **Cutover**The real import runs, we validate it with you, and your team starts working. Keep Wrike read-only for as long as you want the safety net. ## Orangescrum vs Wrike FAQ Is Orangescrum a good alternative to Wrike? For teams that want projects, boards, Gantt, time tracking, and reporting without a per person bill, yes. You also get budget and cost, invoicing, and resource planning in the same product, plus a self-hosted edition. If your work depends on creative proofing and approval rounds, Wrike is the better fit and we would rather tell you now. How much does Wrike cost per month? Wrike does not publish a monthly-billing rate. Its Team plan is shown at $10 per user per month billed on an annual basis. We are not going to convert that into a monthly figure, because a yearly commitment and a month to month price are not the same product. Check Wrike's own pricing page for the current numbers. Why is there no price comparison table on this page? Because a fair one cannot be built from what is published. Our $69 is a monthly price with no commitment. Wrike's $10 per user is an annual commitment. Putting them side by side in one table would look precise and be wrong. Our annual total is $828 for the whole team, so you can do the sum for your own headcount. Can I migrate my Wrike data? Yes, and our team does it for you at no charge. Folders, projects, tasks, subtasks, users, custom fields, attachments, and comment history are mapped and validated with you, with a sandbox run first so nothing lands as a surprise. Does Wrike have a self-hosted version? No. Wrike states it is entirely cloud based and offers no on-premise deployment. Orangescrum Self-Hosted runs on your own servers, your private cloud, or an air gapped network, and there is also a free open source Community Edition under AGPL with no user limit. What does Wrike do better? Creative proofing and approvals, plainly. Reviewers mark up images, video, and PDFs in place and work moves through approval rounds. We have nothing equivalent. Wrike's cross-tagging model and its enterprise administration are also stronger than ours at large scale. Does Orangescrum limit how many people can use it? No. Every plan has unlimited users, including the $29 Basic plan. Clients, contractors, and stakeholders can all be inside the workflow instead of being sent screenshots of it. Is there a free version of Orangescrum? Two. A free forever cloud plan for one project and one user, and the Community Edition, which is free and open source under AGPL with no limit on users or projects. Wrike's free plan is more generous than our free cloud tier for a small group, but it has no self-hosted equivalent. ## Try it for a month before you commit to a year Free 14 day trial, no credit card.
