In short
FlowQi vs Teamwork: Which is better for agency work?
Teamwork is a project management platform popular with agencies. FlowQi is an all-in-one business platform that includes CRM, projects, time tracking, and invoicing. Both are built for client work, here is how they compare.
Key differences
One platform vs multiple products
Teamwork runs projects, time and invoicing in Teamwork.com, with support in Teamwork Desk as a separate subscription, and has no CRM built in. FlowQi brings CRM, project management, time tracking and invoicing together in one platform: Basic is free, Core is per user, and Time & Resources and Billing are modules for the people who use them.
Pricing model
Teamwork Basics starts at $9.99 per user per month for project management and time tracking. Capacity planning, time budgets and invoicing arrive on Accelerate at $24.99. Teamwork Desk, for support, is a separate subscription. FlowQi starts at $0 with Basic, Core is $25 per user per month, and Time & Resources (+$25) and Billing (+$25) are added only for the people who use them, even on Basic.
Client billing workflow
Both platforms track time, and both can turn it into invoices: Teamwork from Accelerate, FlowQi with the Billing module. The difference is the client record. In FlowQi a client in CRM is linked to a project, time is tracked against the project, and invoices are generated from tracked time, all without leaving the platform. Teamwork.com has no built-in CRM, so client records live in another tool.
Target market
Teamwork is used by agencies worldwide and is well-established. FlowQi is newer, built in the Netherlands, with a focus on European agencies and GDPR-first design.
Feature comparison
Both platforms manage projects, track time and can invoice. Listing that side by side takes half a screen to say you are the same. Below is only where the amount or the condition differs.
| FlowQi | Teamwork.com | |
|---|---|---|
| Free plan | Basic: CRM, projects and tasks, unlimited users | Free, up to 5 users and 5 projects |
| Entry price | $0, or $25 per user per month | $9.99 per user per month, billed annually |
| Invoicing | Billing module, +$25 per user | Only from Accelerate, $24.99 per user |
| Capacity planning | Time & Resources module, +$25 per user | Only from Accelerate, $24.99 per user |
| Retainers and time budgets | Time & Resources module | Only from Accelerate |
| CRM | Included, even on Basic | Not built into Teamwork.com |
| AI teammates | One assistant, Hummy | Several, each with its own role |
The last row is not an oversight. Teamwork.com wins there, and you should know that before you choose.
Teamwork pricing in 2026: every plan, with the minimums
Teamwork.com has five plans. The prices below are per user per month with yearly billing, as shown on teamwork.com/pricing on 25 September 2026. Monthly billing is available on the paid plans and costs about 29% more, according to Teamwork’s own billing toggle.
| Plan | Price per user per month | Users | What you get |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | Up to 5 | 5 projects, list, board, Gantt and table views, time logging, 100 automations, US or EU hosting |
| Basics | $9.99 | Minimum 3 | Unlimited projects and templates, billable time tracking and reporting |
| Accelerate | $24.99 | Minimum 5 | Everything in Basics, plus intake forms, 20,000 automations, workload and capacity planning, time budgets and retainers, client invoices from logged time |
| Optimize | On request | On request | Quotes, resource scheduling by role or skill, financial budgets, profitability reports, Salesforce and NetSuite connections |
| Enterprise | On request | On request | Dedicated infrastructure, advanced security and access policies |
Three things the headline price does not show:
- The minimums set the real entry price. Basics for three people is $29.97 per month; Accelerate for five is $124.95 per month, both with yearly billing.
- Invoicing and capacity planning sit on Accelerate, for everyone. The plan applies to the whole workspace, so the people who never send an invoice pay the Accelerate rate too.
- Two lines can change. Teamwork AI is included in the paid plans for an introductory period, and Teamwork says usage-based AI credits launch in September 2026. Teamwork Desk, for support tickets, is a separate subscription on top.
What the same team pays in FlowQi
Take an agency of eight people, of whom five track time and one sends the invoices. On Teamwork, that needs Accelerate for all eight: $199.92 per month with yearly billing. In FlowQi, CRM and projects are free on Basic for all eight, Time & Resources is $25 for each of the five who track time, and Billing is $25 for the one who invoices: $150 per month. If everyone needs roles and permissions, Core adds $25 per user.
When all five people on a five-person team track time and invoice, the picture flips: Teamwork Accelerate is $124.95 and FlowQi is $250. The difference is not the rate but who pays it. Teamwork charges per seat on the workspace; FlowQi charges per module for the people who use it, and keeps the CRM free for everyone else.
Who should choose FlowQi?
FlowQi is the better fit if you want all your tools in one platform. If you are tired of managing separate subscriptions for CRM, projects, and support, or tired of integrating them, FlowQi simplifies your stack.
Who should choose Teamwork?
Teamwork is a solid choice if you primarily need project management with strong time tracking, and you are happy with your current CRM and invoicing tools. Its longer track record and larger user base may also appeal to teams that prefer established platforms.

Frequently asked questions
How does FlowQi pricing compare to Teamwork?
It depends on what you need. Teamwork Basics is $9.99 per user per month for projects and time; Accelerate is $24.99 and adds capacity planning, time budgets and invoicing for everyone on the workspace. FlowQi Basic includes CRM for free, Core is $25 per user per month, and the modules for time and billing are added per person, so a team where only a few people track hours or send invoices pays for only those people. Where FlowQi is plainly different is the free plan: unlimited users, against Teamwork Free at five users and five projects.
How much does Teamwork cost per month?
With yearly billing, Basics is $9.99 per user per month with a minimum of three users, so $29.97 per month, and Accelerate is $24.99 per user per month with a minimum of five, so $124.95 per month. Monthly billing costs about 29% more. Optimize and Enterprise are priced on request. Prices checked on teamwork.com/pricing on 25 September 2026.
Is Teamwork free to use?
Yes, there is a Free plan for up to five users and five projects, with time logging and 100 automations. Beyond that you move to Basics. FlowQi Basic is also free, with no user limit: CRM, projects and tasks for the whole team.
Can I migrate from Teamwork to FlowQi?
Yes. An AI assistant such as Claude or ChatGPT, connected to FlowQi, moves your contacts, organisations and projects over, and we help you set things up. You also gain a CRM, which Teamwork.com does not include.
What is the main difference between FlowQi and Teamwork?
FlowQi has a CRM and Teamwork.com does not have one built in. Teamwork.com covers projects, time and, on the higher plans, invoicing; support lives in Teamwork Desk as a separate subscription. If your client records matter as much as your project records, that is the difference: with Teamwork you keep them somewhere else.
Is FlowQi better for agencies than Teamwork?
Both platforms serve agencies well. FlowQi's advantage is the fully connected workflow from client to project to timesheet to invoice in one platform. With Teamwork, you need a separate tool for the CRM.
Does FlowQi have invoicing built in, unlike Teamwork?
Both do, but on different terms. Teamwork includes invoicing from the Accelerate plan at $24.99 per user per month, and everyone on the workspace pays that rate. In FlowQi, the Billing module costs $25 per user per month, works on the free Basic plan, and you add it only for the people who actually send invoices.
Does FlowQi offer European data hosting?
It depends on the FlowQi entity you contract with: your data is hosted in the EU or in the US. FlowQi is built in the Netherlands with GDPR-first design. Teamwork is Ireland-based and also offers GDPR compliance.
