How we assess Teamwork
This review looks at Teamwork the way an agency would weigh it up — its features, pricing and plans, integrations, how it fits the work agencies do day to day, and what users say about it. Everything below is scored on ease of use, feature depth, how well it scales with clients, and price.
- Built for client work, not retrofitted for it
- Billable time tracking against tasks and projects
- Client users you can safely invite in
- Good for retainers and budget tracking
- Free tier to trial it
- Busier interface than Asana
- Smaller integration ecosystem
- Less brand recognition with new hires
Our verdict on Teamwork
Teamwork is the rare project tool designed around the agency model rather than adapted to it. Billable time, client-facing users, retainers and budget burn are first-class features, not bolt-ons, so the gap between "work done" and "work invoiced" is much smaller than in general-purpose tools. If your business is selling time to clients, that focus pays off quickly.
You can invite client users into specific projects without exposing your whole workspace, track hours against tasks, and watch a retainer burn down in real time. Account leads get a clean read on which clients are profitable and which are quietly eating margin, which is exactly the visibility most agencies lack.
The trade-offs are cosmetic and ecosystem-shaped: the interface is busier than Asana, and the integration library is smaller. New hires may also need a moment to learn it. Pricing runs from a free tier up to around $10.99/user/mo. Confirm current pricing on the vendor site.
Teamwork in depth
Ease of use & setup
Teamwork scores 8.0/10 for ease of use — workable, though expect to invest some setup time before it clicks. We judge this on how fast a small agency team gets productive and whether they keep using it once the novelty wears off.
Scales with clients
On the agency-fit features, Teamwork offers billable time + clients. Client portal / guest access: yes; white-label: yes. It holds up well as you add clients and retainers.
Feature depth & pricing
Pricing model: Free tier + $10.99/user, starting Free, then $10.99/user/mo. There is a free plan, so you can prove the value before paying. Feature depth is solid for agency work. Confirm current pricing on the vendor site before you commit.
Automation, integrations & API
Automation & workflows: yes. Integrations: no. API & Zapier: yes. Teamwork can automate the repetitive parts of agency work, which is where the time savings come from. The API and Zapier support make it straightforward to wire into the rest of your stack.
Who Teamwork is (and isn't) for
Best for: Agencies that bill time to clients and need it tracked against projects. Where it's the wrong call: busier interface than asana; smaller integration ecosystem; less brand recognition with new hires. If those trade-offs don't touch how your agency works, Teamwork earns its 83/100 Index Score.

Teamwork FAQ
What makes Teamwork good for agencies?
It is built around client work: billable time tracking, client users, retainers and budget tracking are native features, so tracking and billing hours is far smoother than in general project tools.
Can clients access Teamwork projects?
Yes. You can invite client users into specific projects without giving them access to your whole workspace, which is ideal for agency-client collaboration.
