How to Migrate from Wrike to Agiled (2026 Step-by-Step Guide)
Wrike is a powerful, mature work-management platform with strong reporting, resource management, and enterprise governance. So this is not a "switch because it's bad" move. People go to Agiled because Wrike is built to manage work, not to run a client business: it has no invoicing or payments, no CRM, no interactive proposals or e-signed contracts, and no branded client portal. Its Business tier is expensive (about $25/user/month, with time tracking only from that tier), and seats are sold in fixed blocks of 5, 10, or 25, so you often pay for seats you do not use. Wrike exports tasks and projects to Excel/CSV, so a careful migration works well. This guide covers what to move, how it maps, and when Wrike is still the right call.
Wrike is excellent project software. Agiled keeps full project management and adds CRM, proposals, contracts, time, invoicing, and a branded client portal in one tool. If you are running Wrike plus separate CRM, proposal, and billing tools, this guide is for you.

Why teams move off Wrike
- No native invoicing or payments. Wrike manages work but does not create invoices or collect payments; you connect a separate billing tool.
- No CRM or sales pipeline. There is no contact or deal management to capture and convert leads.
- No proposals or e-signed contracts. There is no interactive proposal builder or contract e-signature workflow.
- No branded client portal. Clients do not get a single branded place to approve work, see progress, and pay.
- Cost and user blocks. Business is about $25/user/month (time tracking only from Business), Business and above are annual-only, and seats are sold in fixed blocks of 5/10/25, so you often overbuy.
Agiled gives you project management, a CRM, proposals and contracts, invoicing, time tracking, and a client portal.
The honest part: when Wrike wins
Wrike is a genuinely strong work-management platform: custom item types, advanced reporting and dashboards, resource and capacity planning, request forms, proofing, and enterprise governance. If your core need is large-scale project and portfolio management with mature reporting and resource planning, and CRM, billing, and proposals live in tools you are happy with, Wrike is a reasonable choice, especially for bigger teams that need its depth. This guide is for service businesses that want projects plus CRM, delivery, and billing in one place.

What it costs after you switch
Wrike is per user: Free for up to 5 users, Team at about $10/user/month ($9.80 billed annually), and Business at about $25/user/month ($24.80 annually, with time tracking and resource management only from this tier). Enterprise and Pinnacle are custom-quoted. Business plans and above are annual-only, and seats are sold in fixed blocks of 5, 10, or 25, so you frequently pay for unused seats. On top of Wrike, a client business adds CRM, proposal, and billing tools. Agiled has a limited free workspace, Starter at $29/month ($24 annually), and Pro at $69/month ($59 annually) for 3 seats, with project management, CRM, proposals, contracts, time, invoicing, and a portal all included.
Mistakes to avoid
- Comparing only the project tool price. Add the CRM, proposal, and billing tools you run alongside Wrike before comparing.
- Forgetting the user blocks. Wrike sells seats in groups of 5/10/25, so count the seats you actually pay for, not just the per-user rate.
- Assuming time tracking is included. Wrike only includes time tracking from the Business tier.
- Skipping the Excel/CSV export. Export tasks and projects before cancelling.
- Skipping the end-to-end test.
When you should stay on Wrike
- Your core need is large-scale project and portfolio management with mature reporting and resource planning.
- You rely on Wrike's request forms, proofing, or enterprise governance.
- CRM, billing, and proposals live in tools you are happy to keep separate.
If you are juggling Wrike plus CRM and billing tools, Agiled consolidates it. See the Agiled vs Wrike comparison.
