Smartsheet's pricing page is a plan grid with a currency switch and a monthly-or-yearly toggle. Pro is $9 per member a month billed yearly or $12 billed monthly, for 1 to 10 members with unlimited free contributors, and it includes Gantt, table, board and calendar views, rich formulas, unlimited sheets, forms and reports, conversational AI and 250 automations a month. Business is $19 yearly or $24 monthly for 3 or more members and adds unlimited free guests, timeline view, workload tracking, admin capabilities, unlimited automations, connections to external AI tools and 1 TB of attachment storage. Enterprise is custom pricing for 10 or more members with scenario planning, portfolios, SAML SSO and directory integrations, and add-ons such as Dynamic View start at $125 a month and Data Shuttle at $100 a month. The page offers a free trial rather than a permanent free tier.
TL;DR
Smartsheet sells a grid with superpowers: Pro is $9 per member a month billed yearly ($12 monthly) for 1 to 10 members, Business is $19 yearly ($24 monthly) for 3 or more, and Enterprise is quoted for 10 or more. Wrike sells a work management system: Free at $0, Team at $10 for 2 to 15 users, Business at $25 for 5 to 200 users, and Pinnacle and Apex by quote. Smartsheet wins when your data is fundamentally a table; Wrike wins when your data is tasks with owners, dates and load.
Wrike's ladder starts at Free for essential task management, then Team at $10 per user a month for 2 to 15 users with AI Essentials and shareable dashboards, Business at $25 for 5 to 200 users with AI Elite actions and the popular integrations, and Pinnacle and Apex by quote for capacity planning, forecasting, unlimited whiteboards and Wrike Integrate. Every listed figure is per month and billed on an annual per-user basis. Full users and external users each need a paid seat; limited users pay a reduced rate and viewers cost nothing. The Whiteboard add-on is $15 per user a month on plans that do not already include it.
The structural difference is what a row means. In Smartsheet a row is a row: it lives in a sheet, it can carry formulas, attachments and cell history, and reports pull cells from many sheets into one view. People who already think in spreadsheets are productive on day one, and contributors can be added for free because they cannot change structure. In Wrike a task is an object inside a project: it has a status, an assignee, a place in a Gantt timeline, proofing history and a spot on a workload chart. That object model is what makes resource management and automated request routing possible, and it is what Smartsheet buyers usually say they do not need.

Pick Smartsheet if
Smartsheet is the natural choice for portfolio trackers, PPM-style reporting and any process where a spreadsheet is already the source of truth. Pro at $9 per member a month billed yearly lets you keep 10 members and add unlimited contributors, Business at $19 adds workload and unlimited automation, and the formulas and reports do the work a developer would otherwise do. You accept that there is no free tier to live on and that SSO and portfolio governance arrive only with quoted Enterprise pricing.
Pick Wrike if
Wrike suits teams running delivery work where each item has an owner, a deadline and a dependency on someone else's capacity. Team at $10 per user a month covers up to 15 people and already includes Gantt charts, request forms and dashboards, and Business at $25 adds AI Elite actions and the fuller integration set. The trade is seat economics: full users pay, add-ons are extra, and capacity planning sits on the quoted Pinnacle tier.
No independent reviews, ratings or user quotes were collected for this pair. Both cards are vendor-published claims from the companies' own sites, not measured outcomes.
At the first paid tier they are almost level: Smartsheet Pro is $9 per member a month billed yearly against Wrike Team at $10 per user. The gap opens in the middle, where Smartsheet Business is $19 yearly or $24 monthly per member against Wrike Business at $25 per user a month. Seat rules matter as much as rates: Smartsheet contributors and guests are free, Wrike charges full users for regular and external users.
Its pricing page does not show one. What it shows is Pro, Business, Enterprise and a custom Advanced Work Management tier, with a free trial to start. Wrike by contrast keeps a $0 workspace for essential task management alongside its paid tiers, which is the option for a team that wants to stay on free for a while.
Yes. Smartsheet includes Gantt, table, board and calendar views on Pro and adds timeline view and workload tracking on Business. Wrike lists Gantt charts and resource management for balancing team workloads on its feature list. The difference is granularity: Wrike tracks capacity against tasks and owners, while Smartsheet's workload view sits on top of rows and dates you maintain yourself.
Smartsheet prices by member with floors: Pro covers 1 to 10 members, Business needs 3 or more, Enterprise needs 10 or more. Wrike sets user bands instead: Team covers 2 to 15 users, Business 5 to 200, and Pinnacle or Apex by quote. Both mean you should count heads before choosing a tier.
Smartsheet includes conversational AI features on Pro and lets Business connect to external AI tools as part of the plan. Wrike bundles AI Essentials into Team and AI Elite allowances into Business and above, with bigger allowances on the quoted Pinnacle and Apex tiers, and sells the Whiteboard add-on at $15 per user a month. Neither publishes a per-request AI price on these pages.
