This blog post is about Bitrix24 alternatives, but before I go ahead with more discussion about project management software, once upon a time, team collaboration happened over emails only.
Cut to the present time; social collaboration is the new way to engage employees.
Recently, I finished reading Social Collaboration for Dummies by David F. Carr. This book talks about the social collaboration principles and technologies that companies apply to enhance the team’s productivity.
However big or small the company is, a social collaboration tool is being used by all.
It is while reading this book that it dawned upon me how the social networking principles are slowly blending into our work front.
Social collaboration immediately calls for a modern UI, where you can share, like, comment, attach documents and do so much more together. Yes, ‘working together’ is what a collaboration tool helps in.
One such tool is Bitrix24. Launched in 2012, this team management tool offers a practical approach to manage the company. Starting with options to like, comment, have group discussions to making an announcement, tagging colleagues, creating reports, managing time – Bitrix24 does it all.
It is great project management software, to be honest, but there are some restrictions too. When I tried Bitrix24 alternatives, Wrike and Teamwork while I was using Bitrix24, here is what happened-
Wrike customised reports and workload management did fascinate me, but I fell in love with Teamwork.
There are so many ways to organise a team and Teamwork goes on to prove that.
Before I draw a comparison between the two alternatives of Bitrix24 – Wrike and Teamwork, I will walk you through the features of Bitrix24 first.
Bitrix24 CRM
Bitrix24 CRM: Features Overview
As I mentioned, Bitrix24 is a team management tool that spreads out into document management, time tracking, likes, comments, video chats and more.
The website is neat and intuitive, to begin with. You can categorize the features under sub-headings of Social Network, Tasks and Projects, Chat and Video, Documents, Drive, Calendars, Mail, CRM, Telephony, HR, Mobile, and Additional tools (which is tagged as ‘More’ on the website).
Phew! That’s a long list. Let’s take a look what each of these categories has got to offer.
Social Network
Like I said, Bitrix24 kind of works on the principle of social networks.
Social networks provide ease in communication. So does Bitrix24.
This tool is all about communication seamlessly. You can
- Manage Tasks
- Share documents
- Track time
- Standard workflows for leave requests, business trips, expenses, purchases, and other general requests (included in
- Standard and Professional plans)
- Email collaboration from the dashboard itself
- Integration with Facebook, Twitter, and G+
Be aware of what others are doing in the team, participate in discussions, and choose what updates you want to see on your Activity Stream.
You can like contents to show your acknowledgment to your coworkers.
The best part is, you can motivate or appreciate your colleague using a Badge (‘awards’) that shows up on the activity stream and profile of your coworker.
If you thought you could create posts or announce your updates only on social networks, well Bitrix24 has it covered for you. Never miss an announcement that shows up on the top right corner of the main page.
You can make announcements too.
Bitrix24 does remind me of social networking platforms! The photo gallery on Bitrix24 is integrated with the Activity Stream.
You can see the thumbnails appear automatically and can be liked, viewed or commented on.
Tasks and Projects
Bitrix24 has its core in helping teams to collaborate. To manage tasks and projects, here’s what you get-

Bitrix24 Alternatives
Bitrix24 Alternatives
I have already mentioned the two management platforms I will talk about in this guide: Wrike and Teamwork. However, few other great alternatives to bitrix24 that you can check are: Jira, Freedcamp and Glip. Let us check out which one proves to be the best alternatives.
1. Wrike – Popular Bitrix24 Alternatives
Wrike is one of top alternatives for Bitrix24. Wrike is a great task management tool, although not a hyped one. The budget calculation feature and time tracking option is what I like best in this tool.
If you read about customer votes, Wrike surpasses Bitrix24 as really great alternative. Starting off with comparisons, I think it is viable I start with the pricing model.
Why exactly am I talking about the price first? Because let’s be honest.
We marketers skim through the features quickly because we are too impatient to see if it will fit our budget or not.
Once we are okay with the price, we come back to see the features in detail. That’s how human brains work!
So, Wrike management platform has a freemium model with annual subscriptions. The pricing starts at $9.80/month but currently this plan is absolutely free while for Bitrix24 it is $17/month billed monthly.
Bitrix24 also has a freemium model and provides monthly subscriptions.
Wrike offers a free trial before you move to a paid package. Bitrix24, on the other hand, has a total of 6 plans including th free plan.
Let’s dig a little further now, and take a look at Wrike’s features in details:
Wrike: Features Highlight
Wrike has a lot of tutorials for you to get started with it.
There are series of documents on all the functionalities, like creating a task, adding a schedule or editing the tasks. It is a collaboration tool at its best.
Team management is the core of Wrike, so I will begin with this.
Team Management
Wrike offers a folder hierarchy to manage projects. You can add, edit and schedule tasks. Along with this, you can assign colours to mention or highlight the status of progress for a specific task.
Thanks to integration with various email service providers, Wrike lets you turn an email to a task in a snap.
Real-time editing
A live editing functionality lets everyone in the team collaborate simultaneously. This results in a faster pace and also accuracy in work.
Interactive and Real-time Reporting
Wrike recently upgraded the reporting feature with a new functionality of Wrike Reports Snapshots. You can now take snapshots for all your reports.
However, this is available for Enterprise plan only.
Customised Workflows
This is the most interesting feature of Wrike.
Since every team cannot have a similar workflow structure, Wrike ensures you have custom workflows.
From approval to tracking to getting the deal closed- Your entire workflow is structured as per your needs.
Workload Management and Burndown Chart
Another interesting feature. You will immediately know if any of your team members is under work pressure, or completely free.
Workload management feature in Wrike lets you view the tasks assigned to each and access whether a team member has too many deadlines to meet.
What you can do here, you can reassign the works to those who are relatively less clamped up.
Hence, no one will slog and you get the work done faster.
Analytics
You can have detailed insights of the project status and individual workloads. Wrike offers three types of charts:
Performance Chart, Gantt Chart and Baseline Chart.
Wrike for Enterprise
Wrike is a great tool for an enterprise. Here’s what you can get:
- Easy collaboration
- Project Management
- High-end Security
- Professional Services and support
- Business-oriented and Personalised Wrike
You can read how Wrike has helped enterprises like Marketing agencies and Project Managers in my previous blog:
Wrike vs Asana – Which is Most Suitable for Your Team? One such agency is a video production agency ONLYCH1LD.
ONLYCH1LD has been a Wrike user for a long time and has benefited a lot from the Enterprise features of Wrike.
During the trial period, Wrike allows up to five users and unlimited collaboration. It provides features like:
- Task management and discussions
- File sharing
- Real-time activity streams
- Spreadsheet view
- iOS/Android app
- Advanced email integration
- Basic app integrations
The professional plan begins at $10/user/month when billed annually for 5, 10 or 15 users. You get
- 5 GB free storage
- Unlimited hierarchy folders
- Gantt Chart; which means a dynamic timeline
- Subtasks, and advanced mass actions
- Ten shareable dashboards and customised widgets
- Workload view
- Time tracking
- Interactive reports
- Advanced filters
Wrike also offers an enterprise pricing package. The price depends on your requirements. You will need to ask for a quote.
Usually, the average price starts at $35/user/month. You get premium support, add thousands of users, storage starting from 100 GB, custom calendars, and extended security controls, to mention few.
The best part is you get 20 shareable dashboards, custom workflows and critical path, single sign-on, and Salesforce.
The Bitrix24 paid plans are pretty straightforward and short. There are two varieties: Standard and Professional.
Standard comes at $99/month for unlimited employees and external users. The online storage is up to 100 GB.
Professional plan is of $199/month where the online storage is free as well.
GDPR and CCPA update: As per the Wrike website, they work according to the latest GDPR and CCPA guidelines and have made amendments in their infrastructure accordingly.
Wrike is also working with third-party vendors to ensure the compliance of their terms with GDPR and CCPA.
They also plan to enhance their product features for data portability and data management.
Wrike vs. Bitrix2
The difference in Features: Wrike vs. Bitrix24
| Parameters | Wrike | Bitrix24 |
|---|---|---|
| What is good? | Real time analytics Intuitive interface | Project template is customizable Easy to keep track of workload |

| Best for | Enterprises and big businesses | Big businesses |

I think Wrike and Bitrix24 are almost similar management software although I will say Wrike is much more polished. The user experience on Wrike is way much simple than Bitrix24.
The onboarding in Bitrix24 is little dodgy while on Wrike its smooth.
The major point of concern for me is integration.
Bitrix24 is an open-source platform and recommends using third-party apps that they are partnered with.
On the whole, Wrike beats Bitrix24 here. Some integrations that are not available on Bitrix24 –
- Salesforce Sales Cloud
- GitHub
- Slack
- Zendesk
- Box
- Google Apps for Work; etc.
Teamwork
Teamwork – Best selling alternative to Bitrix24
We know how and what Bitrix24 does, we have also seen how Wrike is a better alternative to Bitrix24. Now, let’s talk about the second Bitrix24 alternatives : Teamwork.
Teamwork has an excellent website. The UI is properly balanced and devoid of any exaggerations. It is true; you will fall in love with this tool!
To be precise, Teamwork’s features are broadly categorized as Teamwork Projects, Teamwork Desktop and Teamwork Chats.
One simple reason why I love this tool is their Roadmap and latest updates section. Before starting using this tool for collaboration in your company/project, you will already feel as if the tool is collaborating with you.

Teamwork Desk
Bitrix24 Alternatives, Teamwork Desk is the customer support section. And trust me, it is nothing less than wow!
Here’s a quick overview of what you can expect:
- Features like unified inboxes, assigning tickets, ticket statuses and customer portal, makes it easy to manage your customer support desk.

- Instantly connect with team members.
- Access from anywhere (Windows, Mac, dedicated iOS and Android apps. Linux app is expected soon).
- Direct integration with Teamwork Projects to get things rolling quickly.

Having said this, let’s get back to where we started. Looking at the features of Teamwork, I am sure you will agree this tool is way better than Bitrix24 as well as Wrike.
Bitrix24 doesn’t have these advanced features.
The integrations are less. You cannot chat, forget unified inboxes, advanced ticketing, and seamless customer support functionalities. Oh, and also the updates and roadmap section. It steals the limelight.
Teamwork wins. Period.

There are about thirty-five more tools that are supposed to be provided by Bitrix24. They include the automation of workflow, ticketing, management of records, management of knowledge, helpdesk and a lot more. Bitrix14 is simple to use and inexpensive and it does not require any sort of IP telephones.
Thanks for adding more detail to the post Ronald!
