The short version

  • Only Teamwork has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Moxie each module is weaker than the specialist product it replaces, so a freelancer with a demanding requirement in any one area will find the bundled version limiting.; Teamwork the free plan allows 5 users, 5 projects and 100 MB of file storage
  • They diverge on capability: Moxie covers Proposals with e signature, Teamwork covers Task management.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Moxie

  • Each module is weaker than the specialist product it replaces, so a freelancer with a demanding requirement in any one area will find the bundled version limiting.
  • The shared data model that makes the bundle convenient also makes leaving expensive, because proposals, time entries and invoices come out as one tangled export rather than as separable tools.
  • It is designed around a solo operator, so adding subcontractors, splitting revenue or managing a small team runs into limits quickly.
  • Client payments are processed through a third party gateway, so the card processing fee applies on top of the subscription and should be modelled into the true cost per invoice.
  • A large amount of published review material still refers to the product as Hectic, which makes independent research harder and dates much of what is written about it.

Teamwork

  • The free plan allows 5 users, 5 projects and 100 MB of file storage
  • Projects are capped even on paid plans, at 300 on Basics and 600 on Accelerate
  • Automations are rationed by tier, at 100 on free, 20,000 on Accelerate and 100,000 on Optimize
  • Single sign on is Enterprise only
  • The two highest tiers publish no price at all

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Moxie: Is Moxie the same product as Hectic?

Yes. It was renamed in 2022. Older reviews under the Hectic name describe the same software at an earlier stage.

Teamwork: What is the difference between Basics and Accelerate plans?

Basics ($9.99/user/month) includes time tracking and basic automations (100 limit). Accelerate ($24.99/user/month) adds smart forms, capacity planning, 20,000 automations, client invoicing, and integrations with HubSpot and QuickBooks.

Source
Moxie: Does it take a percentage of my invoices?

The payment processor takes its standard card fee. Model that separately from the subscription when comparing total cost.

Teamwork: How much do I save with annual billing?

Annual subscriptions save 29% compared to monthly billing on paid plans. The Free plan is not affected.

Source
Moxie: Can I use it with a team?

It is built for a solo operator. Subcontractors and multi person billing are handled awkwardly.

Teamwork: Is there a free trial available?

Yes, 14-day free trials are available for Basics and Accelerate plans. No credit card is required.

Source
Moxie: Can I keep my accountant in the loop?

Yes, through the accounting integration, though most freelancers still reconcile manually at year end.

Moxie: What is the exit path?

Exports exist, but the linked proposal, time and invoice data does not map cleanly onto separate replacement tools.
