Alternatives to Teamwork
Client-work project management with billing
Teamwork ranks #6 of 24 in Project management, with an Alt Score of 94. It is proprietary, freemium from $9.99/user/month and available on Windows, macOS, iOS, Android and Web. 13 of 14 checklist rows are verified against a public source.
Client-services businesses—agencies, consultancies, IT service providers, and other teams that deliver billable project work for external clients.
A project management platform built around client work: task and project planning, time tracking, resource scheduling, and budget/profitability tracking in one place. It shows team workload and capacity to avoid overbooking, and surfaces real-time budget burn against billable hours. Client collaboration and approval tools keep external stakeholders in the loop. It also integrates with other business apps like invoicing and accounting tools.
You create a project (from scratch or a template), break it into tasks and assign them to team members, then track time logged against those tasks as work progresses. Budgets, utilization, and profitability update as time and costs accrue, giving managers a live view of project health.
