Collaborator License Fees

Wrike may charge for collaborator licenses (users who need limited access but aren't full team members). While some contracts include free collaborators, renewal negotiations have shown attempts to introduce or increase these fees.

Wrike was trying to increase our pricing on additional collaborators from free to $6/user/month. We were able to get a special exception of $3/user/month for collaborators by focusing on budget, mentioning Asana as an alternative, and early signature.

2

AWS Processing Fees

When purchasing Wrike through AWS Marketplace, the vendor may pass AWS processing fees to the buyer rather than absorbing them.

Wrike can be purchased through AWS, but will sometimes pass the processing fee to the buyer

3

Implementation and Onboarding Costs

For Business and Enterprise tiers, Wrike may charge for implementation services, though these fees are negotiable.

their pricing and sales policies are fucking awful. I think we have 25 licenses at this point? You can only buy in blocks of 5 and for a year at a time.

You can only purchase annual licenses, and they have to be purchased in blocks of 5
