Frequently asked questions
What does Wrike cost for a mid-sized team, and how is it billed?
Team is $10 per user/month and Business is $25 per user/month, priced per month and billed annually (a free tier and 14-day trials exist; Pinnacle and Apex are quoted). A 50-person Business deployment is roughly $15,000 per year before add-ons such as Whiteboard ($15/user/month), Wrike Integrate, Datahub, Lock, Premium Support or extra AI Elite action packs.
How long does it take to get Wrike into production?
Wrike is entirely cloud-based, so a workspace can be used immediately after signing up for the 14-day trial. Most teams reach first value in one to two weeks. Wrike recommends Professional Services for onboarding and requires a guided deployment for teams of 20 or more, which extends rollout time and adds cost.
Are Wrike Copilot and AI agents included, or do they cost extra?
Wrike states that you do not pay extra for Copilot or agents. AI Essentials ships from the Team plan and AI Elite actions from Business upward, with more actions on higher tiers (3x on Pinnacle, 10x on Apex). Additional AI Elite action packs can be purchased as an add-on, and overage is discussed rather than auto-invoiced.
Does Wrike train its AI models on our data?
No. Wrike states it does not use customer data to train or tune any generative AI models and does not allow its vendors to do so. Generative AI features run on Microsoft Azure OpenAI Service, operate statelessly, are enabled per account by account owners, and all AI output requires human verification before use.
Can Wrike connect to our AI assistants and our existing stack?
Yes. Wrike ships its own MCP Server (v2) that connects Wrike to external AI assistants, and lists 400+ integrations including Slack, Microsoft 365/Teams, Google Workspace, Salesforce, HubSpot, Jira, GitHub, NetSuite and Tableau, plus Wrike Integrate for no-code automation and Wrike Sync for bi-directional links.
What security and compliance evidence does Wrike publish?
