Migrate your Wrike data
Enterprise-grade project management platform with deep automation and resource planning. Best for mid-to-large teams that need structured work management at scale.
In its favor
Why people choose Wrike
The signal that keeps Wrike on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Flexible and customizable workflows that adapt to diverse project methodologies, from agile sprints to traditional waterfall—reviewed positively across G2 for accommodating multiple team structures.
Real-time visibility into task dependencies, workloads, and project timelines, giving managers a single pane of glass to spot bottlenecks and reallocate resources proactively.
Deep integration ecosystem with 400+ native connectors including Salesforce, Adobe Creative Cloud, and Google Workspace, making it a hub for cross-functional teams.
Built-in proofing, approval workflows, and digital asset management for creative teams, consolidating review cycles without requiring a separate tool.
Generous free tier with unlimited users and intelligent task management lets small teams validate fit before committing to a paid seat.
Pricing rigidity punishes small teams—a user needing 2 Business-plan seats must purchase 5, adding ~$900/year in phantom costs that drive churn.
Minimum seat enforcement and annual-only billing create forced commitments that feel high-risk for teams unsure of long-term fit.
Steep learning curve for non-technical users and growing complexity as workspaces scale—many reviewers cite onboarding time as a barrier to adoption.
Interface clutter from accumulated projects, automations, and custom fields degrades performance and usability at scale.
Customer support quality is inconsistent, with some mid-market users reporting slow response times and unhelpful troubleshooting.

Pricing tiers
Wrike pricing overview
Wrike uses a per-seat model with tiers that jump sharply in cost and feature access. The Team tier at $10/user/month serves 2-15 users but forces annual billing; Business at $25/user/month unlocks resource management and is required for many teams needing workflow automation. The per-seat model creates a discontinuity: a 16th user jumps from Team to Business, effectively doubling the monthly spend. Enterprise tiers are custom-quoted and bundle SAFe, BI, and dedicated support at significantly higher per-seat rates.

What gets migrated
Wrike object support
Object-by-object support for Wrike migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Projects
Fully supportedWrike Projects sit at the top of the folder hierarchy and contain Tasks, Subtasks, and metadata. We map Projects 1:1 using their title, dates, status, and custom field values. Folder parentage is preserved so nesting relationships are intact in the destination.
Tasks
Fully supportedTasks are the primary work unit in Wrike with assignees, dates, durations, and dependencies. We export tasks with their full attribute set including custom fields, responsible users, and linked dependencies. Subtask relationships are preserved via parent task IDs.
Subtasks
Fully supportedSubtasks in Wrike inherit the parent's context and can have independent assignees and dates. We preserve the parent-child hierarchy explicitly in the destination schema so nesting depth is maintained.
Custom Fields
Mapping requiredWrike supports 14+ Custom Field types including DropDown, Numeric, Date, Currency, Percentage, Contacts, Checkbox, and Calculated fields. We map these field types to equivalent destination fields but flag Calculated fields which cannot be migrated as editable values—only their last computed value transfers.
Workflows
Mapping requiredWrike Workflows define Status sets and transitions per project or globally. We export Workflow definitions including all custom statuses and transition rules. The destination must support custom status sets, or we map each Wrike status to the closest available destination status.
Users
Fully supportedUser accounts with name, email, and role are exported via the API. We preserve the assignee-to-task mapping so the right people are assigned post-migration. Note: deactivated users may need manual cleanup in the destination.
Spaces
Mapping requiredSpaces are top-level organizational containers (shared or personal). Wrike's permission model is tied to Space membership. We map Space assignments but recommend reviewing access controls in the destination, as permission inheritance may differ.
Dashboards
Mapping requiredDashboards aggregate widgets showing project health, workload, and custom metrics. We export dashboard configurations and widget definitions where the API exposes them. Not all widget types map directly; we flag those requiring manual rebuild.
Time Entries
Fully supportedWrike logs time against tasks with hours, dates, and billing categories. We export time entries in full and map them to equivalent billing or timesheet objects in the destination. Duration-based entries are converted to explicit start/end timestamps.
Attachments
Mapping requiredFile attachments are referenced by URL in Wrike. We preserve download URLs and re-link them in the destination. Large attachment volumes may require separate storage migration; we flag accounts exceeding 5GB of attachment data for pre-migration storage planning.
Dependencies
Fully supportedWrike supports Finish-to-Start, Start-to-Start, and other dependency types between tasks. We map these 1:1 where the destination supports dependency tracking. For destinations without native dependency support, we add dependency as a custom linked-field.
Comments
Fully supportedComments on tasks and projects include author, timestamp, and text content. We export comments in full. Thread structure is preserved as parent-child relationships where supported by the destination schema.
Views (Gantt, Kanban, Table, Calendar)
Mapping requiredViews are Wrike display configurations. We export the view layouts and filter settings. Since most destinations use their own native views, we note the original view configuration in the migration log for manual recreation.
Tags
Mapping requiredTags in Wrike are freeform labels applied to tasks and projects. We export tag values as-is. The destination must support tag-based filtering, or we convert tags to a custom multi-select field.
