The short version

  • Only Wrike has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: CMiC pricing is by quote only, with the site's Pricing link leading to a Get a Quote form and no rate, tier or minimum published; Wrike seats are sold in blocks rather than singly: groups of 5 up to 30 seats, groups of 10 up to 100, and groups of 25 above that, so adding one person can mean paying for five
  • They diverge on capability: CMiC covers Project management, Wrike covers Interactive Gantt charts.
