The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Ghostery database of trackers requires regular updates to remain current; 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: Ghostery covers Tracker blocking, Wrike covers Interactive Gantt charts.
