Teamwork.com Alternatives in 2026: What They Actually Cost

Verified 2026-08-01  ·  by Sebastian Bru

Every alternative below is priced for a team of twenty on annual billing, so the comparison is like for like. Most lists give you per-seat figures, which hide seat minimums and user caps.

Why teams leave Teamwork.com

In 2026 Teamwork replaced its Deliver/Grow/Scale lineup with Basics/Accelerate/Optimize/Enterprise. The mid-tier price rose from $19.99 (Grow) to $24.99 (Accelerate) — a 25% increase per seat.
Client profitability reporting, which is the main reason agencies buy Teamwork, moved from the published Scale plan to the custom-quoted Optimize tier. You now need to contact sales to get a price.
Monthly billing prices are not published on the new pricing page. Annual rates shown. Contact Teamwork for month-to-month rates.
Every paid plan carries a seat minimum: 3 on Basics, 5 on Accelerate and above. A 2-person agency pays for 3 seats.

The four worth looking at first

Trello

The simplest tool here, and the cheapest paid tier in the category. Fine for straightforward boards, thin once you need reporting or dependencies.

From $5 per user/month.

ClickUp

The cheapest serious option per seat. Enormous feature set, which is either the main attraction or the reason teams abandon it.

From $7 per user/month.

Jira

Built for software teams and priced for them. Powerful issue tracking, and the steepest learning curve of anything in this comparison.

From $7.91 per user/month.

Monday.com

Highly visual and easy to adopt. The pricing looks cheap per seat until you hit the three-seat minimum and the automation limits.

From $9 per user/month.

Switching costs money too Migrating a team costs time, retraining and usually some lost history. A tool that saves you $100 a month may not be worth three weeks of disruption. Run the annual number before you move.
