Comparison

Zuuna vs Wrike: breadth versus what a seat costs

Wrike does a lot and sells seats in groups. The honest comparison, including the increments worth knowing before you decide.

Wrike is a broad work-management tool with Gantt, workload, forms and automation. The comparison with Zuuna is less about missing features than about two things: what the breadth is needed for, and how it is billed.

The billing that surprises people

Wrike sells seats in groups, not individually: in 5-user increments up to 30 seats, then 10, then 25 above 100. The Team plan is also capped at 2–15 users and Business at 5–200. So a team of seven does not buy seven seats. That is stated on Wrike's own pricing page (accessed 14 August 2026) and for small teams it moves the total more than the headline price does.

When Wrike is the right choice

For larger organisations planning across departments: resource workload across teams, request forms with approval routing, portfolios. Zuuna has none of that and does not claim to — there is no Gantt chart and no cross-department resource planning.

When Zuuna is the right choice

When part of the work ends up in code. Commits, pull requests and build status on the card, releases bound to git tags, the code graph — Wrike is not built for that. Plus the question of where the data lives: Zuuna runs in Germany, with a DPA and no sales call.

Pricing

Wrike: Free $0 · Team $10 per user/month (2–15 users) · Business $25 per user/month (5–200 users), both billed annually; Pinnacle and Apex on request (accessed 14 August 2026). Zuuna: Free €0 · Plus €4 · Business Standard €8 · Business Pro €16 · Developer €24 per seat/month, incl. VAT. Currencies are not converted — each figure carries the symbol its vendor publishes.

FAQ

Can I buy exactly as many Wrike seats as we have people?

Not necessarily. Wrike sells seats in groups — 5-user increments up to 30 seats, then 10, then 25 above 100 (as of 14 August 2026). For small teams it is worth doing that arithmetic before comparing list prices.

Does Zuuna have Gantt charts?

No. There is a board, a table, a calendar and documents, but no Gantt view and no cross-department resource planning. If that is the core of your work, Wrike is the better fit.

Where is the data hosted?

Zuuna runs in Germany with a DPA under Art. 28 GDPR at no extra cost. For Wrike, check what Wrike states about this directly.

Switching is duller than you think.

Connect Jira with an API token, or let Zuuna read Trello from its JSON export — both with the field mapping already filled in. Any other tool you export to CSV or Excel. The import runs once; it does not sync. Then try it for 14 days, no credit card.
