The short answer
Teamwork.com has a free plan covering up to 5 users and 5 projects, and two publicly priced paid plans: Basics at $9.99 per user per month and Accelerate at $24.99 per user per month, both billed annually. Two more tiers, Optimize and Enterprise, are quoted through sales with no published prices.
Here's the unusual part: those annual rates are the only prices Teamwork publishes. The pricing page shows no monthly-billing figure anywhere, just a “Save 29%” annual discount. Working backwards from that discount, monthly billing comes to roughly $13.99 per user on Basics and $34.99 on Accelerate. Every monthly figure in this post is derived that way, and we'll flag them as derived wherever they appear.
Multiplied across a real team on Basics: 5 people pay $49.95/month billed annually (about $69.95 derived monthly), 10 people pay $99.90 (about $139.90), and 20 people pay $199.80 (about $279.80). Worth saying plainly up front: at very small sizes Teamwork is genuinely cheap. Up to 5 people can use it free, and a 2–3 person team on Basics pays less than Thicket at $49/month flat for unlimited users. We'll show exactly where the math flips, but first the full breakdown.
Teamwork.com's plans, side by side
Verified August 2026from teamwork.com/pricing. Annual-billing rates shown, because they're the only rates Teamwork publishes; the derived monthly rates follow below.
Teamwork also sells Optimize and Enterprise tiers, both custom-priced through sales (“Let's talk”) with no published figures, so no number is cited for either here. And if you've seen “Deliver” or “Grow” plans in older roundups: those tiers are retired, though stale third-party sites still echo them. Prices verified August 2026.
There is no monthly price on Teamwork's pricing page
Most per-seat tools advertise the annual rate and tuck the monthly rate behind a billing toggle: ClickUp, Notion, and Trello all do it. Teamwork goes one step further. teamwork.com/pricing publishes only the annual-billing rates ($9.99 Basics, $24.99 Accelerate) next to a “Save 29%” banner. There is no toggle to flip and no monthly figure anywhere on the page.
Monthly billing does exist; the “Save 29%” framing is measured against it. So the monthly price can be worked out from Teamwork's own numbers: divide the annual rate by 0.71 and round to Teamwork's .99 price convention. That gives about $13.99 per user on Basics and about $34.99 on Accelerate billed monthly. Cross-checking: those rates put the annual discount at 29% on Basics and 29% on Accelerate, exactly what the banner claims. To be completely clear: these are derived figures, not published ones. The exact monthly price only appears at checkout.
For budgeting, that means the advertised price and the price a month-to-month team pays are roughly 29% apart, and the pricing page only ever shows you the lower one. If you aren't certain you'll commit to a year up front, budget from the derived monthly figure, not the headline.
When does free Teamwork stop being enough?
Teamwork's free plan caps are easy to state: up to 5 users and up to 5 projects. For the client-work teams Teamwork pitches itself to (agencies, studios, professional services), the project cap is usually what pinches first. The natural way to run client work is one project per engagement, so the sixth client forces the upgrade decision even while the team itself still fits.
At that point the path is Basics: $9.99 per user per month billed annually, or roughly $13.99billed monthly (derived). For a 5-person agency that's $49.95/month paid annually up front, about $69.95/month if you stay month-to-month.
What Teamwork.com actually costs your team
Per-user pricing looks small at one seat. Here's the monthly cost at four common team sizes: the published annual rate, the same year paid up front, and the derived monthly rate. Derived figures are marked with an asterisk.
| Team size | Basics (annual) / mo | Basics / yr up front | Basics monthly* |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 users | $49.95/mo | $599.40/yr | $69.95/mo |
| 10 users | $99.90/mo | $1,198.80/yr | $139.90/mo |
| 20 users | $199.80/mo | $2,397.60/yr | $279.80/mo |
| 50 users | $499.50/mo | $5,994/yr | $699.50/mo |
* Derived monthly rate: Teamwork publishes no monthly prices, so the $13.99/user figure is computed from the published $9.99annual rate and Teamwork's own “Save 29%” discount. On Accelerate the same table runs $124.95 to $1,249.50/month billed annually ($174.95 to $1,749.50 derived monthly). Optimize and Enterprise have no published prices and are excluded. Prices verified August 2026.
Is Teamwork.com worth it?
Honestly: for very small teams, the price argues for it. Teamwork's free plan covers 5 users, and a 2–3 person team on Basics pays $27.98 to $41.97/month at the derived monthly rate, under Thicket's $49 flat. If you're a team of 2 or 3 and Basics covers what you need, you should probably just pay Teamwork. Its client-work focus is real, too: billing, time tracking, and client views are the platform's whole pitch, aimed squarely at agencies and professional services.
The math changes in two places. The first is headcount: at 4 users Basics passes a $49 flat rate on both billing cycles ($55.96 derived monthly, or $39.96billed annually against Thicket's $39annual rate), and at 10 it's $139.90 derived monthly. The second is the tier ladder: the billing depth, workload management, and retainer features growing agencies reach for live on Accelerate at $24.99/user billed annually (about $34.99 derived monthly), which costs more than $49 flat from just 2 users ($69.98/month derived). The advertised entry price and the price a growing agency actually pays are different numbers.

Client work without the per-seat meter
Teamwork's buyer is a team doing client work, and that's exactly where per-seat pricing stings most: every new hire, contractor, and client seat you add changes the bill, and the roster changes constantly. Thicket takes the opposite approach: six tools in every project plus client access, at $49/month flat ($39/month billed annually, $468/year) for unlimited users. Employees, contractors, and clients are all included at no per-seat cost.
Every project gets a message board, to-dos, docs and files, a schedule, Boards, and group chat, and client access is built in: invite clients, choose exactly what they see, and put approvals on the record. The honest gaps: Thicket has no built-in invoicing, time tracking, or retainer management, so if you bill through your PM tool, Teamwork earns its price. There's a free plan to start (1 project, 20 people including clients, 1 GB) and a 14-day Pro trial, no credit card required. The full client-workflow story is on the client project management page, and agencies specifically may want the agency project management page.
Teamwork.com vs Thicket: what you pay
Thicket holds at $49/month at every team size. Here's the side-by-side against both Teamwork paid plans at their derived monthly rates, including the sizes where Teamwork is cheaper.
| Team size | Thicket Pro | Basics monthly* | Accelerate monthly* | You save vs Accelerate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5 users | $49/mo | $69.95/mo | $174.95/mo | $125.95/mo |
| 10 users | $49/mo | $139.90/mo | $349.90/mo | $300.90/mo |
| 20 users | $49/mo | $279.80/mo | $699.80/mo | $650.80/mo |
| 50 users | $49/mo | $699.50/mo | $1,749.50/mo | $1,700.50/mo |
Thicket Pro is $49/month flat ($39/month billed annually). * Teamwork monthly rates are derived from the published annual rates ($9.99 Basics, $24.99 Accelerate) and Teamwork's “Save 29%” annual discount; Teamwork publishes no monthly prices. Prices verified August 2026.
An honest note on the crossover: Teamwork Basics stays under a $49 flat rate through 3 people ($41.97/month derived), and the free plan covers up to 5 users on 5 projects, so a very small team saves nothing by switching on price. The flat rate wins from roughly 4 people on Basics ($55.96 derived monthly vs $49, and $39.96 vs $39 comparing annual rates) and from 2 people on Accelerate ($69.98 vs $49). At 10 people on Basics the gap is $90.90/month; at 20 it's $230.80. More on the model: why we don't charge per user and why per-seat pricing is dying. To see how the numbers stack up against every major tool, there's the full pricing comparison hub and Thicket's pricing in full, and if you want every vendor's verified rates in one dated table, the Project Management Pricing Index carries them all.
