Clockwise vs Wrike: which one fits your team?
One of these answers when, for one person, automatically. The other answers how is it all going, for the organisation. They are on different floors of the same building.
It turns on whether the problem you are solving belongs to a person or to a management layer.
Pick Clockwise if
nothing any more, because it closed on 27 March 2026 after the team joined Salesforce. Where it stops: it is no longer available, so this is a landing spot rather than a comparison.

For a team of 5, billed yearly: Clockwise does not publish a per seat price we can put in this sum, Wrike is about $600 a year, and UnaTask is €480 plus VAT.
Clockwise: No longer offered. Clockwise shut down on 27 March 2026. Wrike: Free plan. $10 Team and $25 Business per user per month.

Side by side
| What it does | Clockwise | Wrike | UnaTask |
|---|---|---|---|
| Time blocking on a calendar | Gone | No | Core |
| A plan for today and this week | Gone | Partly | Core |
| Two way calendar sync | Gone | Partly | Yes |
| It is the task manager itself | No. It was a calendar optimiser, never a task manager. | Core | Core |
| Dependencies and a timeline | No | Yes | Yes. Dependencies with a timeline that shows what is waiting on what. |
| See who has room | Gone | Core. Formal resource management with time tracking, which is more than we do. | Core |
| Booking links | Gone | No | Yes |
| Meetings become tasks | No | Partly | Yes |
| Email and chat become tasks | No | Yes | Yes |
| Pull requests linked to work | No | Partly | Yes |
| Docs and wiki inside | No | Partly | Partly. Docs live on a project, they are not a wiki you would run a company from. |
| Portfolio or agile reporting | Gone | Core | Partly. Team workload and project progress, not portfolios that roll up to a board. |
| Rules that fire on their own | Gone | Core | Yes |
| AI that does the work, not just the scheduling | No | Partly | Yes. AI teammates you assign a task to. The work comes back on the task for review. |
| Useful before you configure it | Gone | No. Intake, approvals and resourcing are worth configuring and take configuring. | Core |
| A free plan | Gone | Yes | Yes |
What should not decide it
They answer the same on 3: time blocking on a calendar, booking links and being useful before you configure it.
And where UnaTask sits
UnaTask solves the person’s problem in a way the team can see, without the rollout a platform asks for.
It does more than both of them on time blocking on a calendar, having a plan for today, two way calendar sync, booking links, turning meetings into tasks, linking pull requests to the work, AI that does the work rather than the scheduling and being useful before you configure it.
