OpenProject as Wrike alternative

Wrike is a popular project management application which offers essential project management features. This includes task management, Gantt charts and time tracking. The tool offers a free version for up to 5 users (which does not include basic features like Gantt charts). However, prices increase quite quickly to $24.80 per user per month for larger instances. Let's take a look at why OpenProject is the best Wrike alternative.

OpenProject and Wrike both offer classical project management features. However, OpenProject also includes code management integrations through repositories and release management through product roadmaps.

Wrike is not open source. Users therefore run the risk of depending solely on the vendor to make code adjustments / implementing feature requests. Wrike also offers no self-hosted version. Additionally, Wrike does not have an integrated source control management feature which makes it difficult for software projects to be managed in an integrated way.
