Wrike vs Smartsheet: Pricing Compared in 2026

Verified 2026-07-27 · by Sebastian Bru

Both tools do broadly the same job. The gap that matters for most teams is what they cost once seat minimums and user caps are applied.

What each one costs your team

Cheapest paid plan from each, on annual billing, with vendor seat minimums included.

Team size	Wrike	Smartsheet	Cheaper
5 people	$50/mo	$45/mo	Smartsheet, by $5/mo
20 people	not available (max 15 users)	not available (max 10 users)	—
50 people	not available (max 15 users)	not available (max 10 users)	—

Wrike plans

Enterprise-grade features aimed at large teams. Its seat-band billing makes it the most expensive tool here for teams that fall just above a band.

Plan	Per user / month	Limits
Free	Free	Unlimited users
Team	$10	2 to 15 users, sold in bands of 5
Business	$25	Minimum 5 seats, sold in bands
Enterprise	Custom	Custom quote

Smartsheet plans

Built for people who think in spreadsheets. Strong in construction and operations, with the most confusing pricing of the six.

Plan	Per user / month	Limits
Free	Free	1 user, 2 sheets
Pro	$9	Hard cap of 10 users
Business	$32	Minimum 3 seats
Enterprise	Custom	Custom quote

What neither pricing page tells you

Wrike: Wrike sells seats in fixed bands: blocks of 5 below 30 seats, blocks of 10 from 30 to 100, blocks of 25 above 100. A 6-person team pays for 10 seats. A 22-person team pays for 25.

Wrike: That banding means adding one person can raise your bill by five seats at once. Check where your headcount sits before hiring.

Smartsheet: Pro has a hard ceiling of 10 users. User number 11 forces the Business plan, which is a 256% price increase per seat.

Smartsheet: Published Business pricing varies between $19 and $32 per user depending on the source and contract terms. Always ask for a written quote.

Before you compare on price alone The cheapest plan is not the same plan on both sides. Check what each tier actually includes before treating these numbers as equivalent.
