Project management software for agencies and client-service teams: time tracking, invoicing, per-project profitability and multiple views (lists, boards, Gantt).
Teamwork makes sense for agencies and service teams that bill by time; for simple task management, a lighter tool suffices.
About
In practice. What you can do with Teamwork.
Teamwork is a project management tool built for agencies and studios that bill clients for time: time tracking is native and tied directly to tasks, turning logged hours into invoices with no third-party tool. It also lets you invite external clients or contractors to a project without paying for an extra seat for them.
The free plan (Free Forever) covers up to 5 users, 5 projects, and 100 automations per month. Paid plans enforce structural seat minimums: Deliver ($10.99/month/user) requires at least 3 users, Grow ($19.99/month) requires at least 5, with no way to pay for a single person past the free plan.
Those minimums make Teamwork structurally more expensive than a competitor billed per single user, like ClickUp. For an internal team with no client billing, ClickUp or Asana offer more flexibility at the same budget.
Practical uses

When it makes sense. Keep Teamwork, or challenge it?
Keep if
You run billable client projects (agency, service provider).
You want to track time and profitability in one place.
Teamwork becomes worthwhile when
+You use it at least once a week
+The monthly cost ($10.99) is small next to the time it saves you
Challenge if
You just want a simple to-do.
You have no billing or time tracking to manage.
Teamwork becomes too expensive when
−You use it less than once a month
−A simple free version or a tool already in your stack would do
Our verdict. What to know about Teamwork.
Why this verdict
Great
Teamwork is fairly easy to replace with an alternative, a free tier to test before paying, clearly documented use cases.
