Everything you need to get your work done

All the specific features you need, for a fraction of the cost
Mavenlink’s plans are 200-300% more expensive than Teamwork’s. Key resource allocation and budgeting features — the heart of client work management — don’t even appear until the $59 per user/month plan.
Teamwork gives you the project, resource, and client management features you need. Budgeting, time tracking, invoicing, and resource allocation are all available in our $18 per user/month Grow plan and not locked away. (That’s a savings of $41 per person.)

Everything you need for client work, no matter your size
Mavenlink fails to meet the needs of agile, fast-growing businesses. Its Teams ($19) and Professional ($39) plans ignore the financial requirements of smaller teams and agencies. And the dashboard set-up doesn’t promote creative collaboration and debate through chat or joint-editing features.
Teamwork understands that your needs change as you grow. That’s why we integrate with both small business favorites like Zapier and Harvest, and advanced accounting software like Quickbooks. It’s the reason we built stand-alone applications like desk, chat, CRM, and spaces. And it’s why we consistently add new collaborative features to grow with you.

Transparent with you from the beginning
Mavenlink keeps its features and pricing hidden. Comparing it to other options is hard. You have to book a demo before you can start a trial and you can’t compare plans side by side unless you’re in the Mavenlink dashboard. These unnecessary barriers make it harder to understand what they bring to the table.
Teamwork is open about what it does and how much it costs. You can compare our plans — and the features inside each one — on our website. You can also start your trial on your own and even use the free forever plan if you’re at the early stages of growth. Everything is designed for your convenience, not ours.

If your team doesn’t like your PM software, it’s time to switch
That’s the exact problem VHG encountered when their team adopted Mavenlink. Concerns streamed in during the pilot deployment: the software was too difficult to use effectively. That’s when they tried Teamwork and the ease of use hooked them. But there’s even more to this story…

Compare Teamwork and Mavenlink: Feature for feature
How do we stack up? Both Teamwork and Mavenlink help client service businesses but Mavenlink charges a lot more. Its professional plan is 216% more expensive than the comparable Teamwork option and it doesn’t even have key financial and budgeting features.
Now that you’ve seen the features, how do Mavenlink and Teamwork’s plans compare?
Teamwork’s plans focus on functionality, ease of use and affordability. As former agency executives, we know what you need to get the job done: that’s why our plans include complex project and finance features at a price that supports your growth goals.

My team was up and running with Teamwork in no time. The transition was AMAZING. Down time was non-existent, so we didn’t lose billable hours or have to delay our deadlines as we were learning the software.
So what can you and your team gain from using Teamwork instead of Mavenlink?
The short answer? At least half your money back. We won’t deny it: Mavenlink helps professional services teams manage complex projects, allocate resources, and handle financials all in the same central platform. It’s top tier plan has burndown reporting, invoicing, time tracking, and workload allocation. But so does Teamwork. And we give it to you for a fraction of the cost. This is how Teamwork’s Growth ($18) and Mavenlink’s Professional ($39) really stack up. Let’s start with the good and move on to what’s lacking as you scroll.
Only one of these options was custom-built for client work
Mavenlink may have been built for “clarity, control and confidence” but the high price point and steep learning curve leaves agencies, marketing teams, and plenty of professional services firms behind. Teamwork — on the other hand — helps you get the job done. And we do it at a fraction of the cost and without overwhelming your team with what they don’t need.
Yes. That’s exactly what Teamwork was built for. You can manage projects, track time, run billing and invoicing, forecast budgets, handle complex scheduling and resource allocation, and so much more. In short, if your clients need it, we’ve got it.

Yes. And we can do it at a much lower cost. Mavenlink’s real resource management features don’t kick in until the $59 per user/month tier. That’s when you get access to resource managing, scheduling and next level reporting. With Teamwork, you get access to these features at the $18 per user/month tier, saving you thousands every year.
/f/99519/300x300/df30d19622/nicci-beacham.png)
Yes, it can. Teamwork gives you full visibility into your performance. It helps you manage clients, allocate resources smartly and easily handle complex projects for a fraction of the cost. Plus, thanks to teams, desk and CRM, it can grow as you need it too.
