What it does

Teamwork helps service businesses and agencies manage client projects, track billable time, and handle invoicing in one place.

Strengths

Built-in time tracking and invoicing make it ideal for client-billing workflows
Client portal lets outside clients view project progress without needing a full account
Free plan supports up to 5 users with core project management features
Strong reporting tools for tracking team workload and project profitability
Scales well from small teams to growing agencies without switching tools

Weaknesses

Can feel overly complex for teams doing simple internal projects
Per-user pricing adds up quickly as your team grows.
Mobile app is functional but not as polished as the desktop experience
Steeper learning curve compared to lighter tools like Trello

Key features

Plan and manage projects with tasks, milestones, and deadlines
Track time spent on work and tie it directly to client billing
Share project updates with clients through a dedicated client portal
Manage team workload and see who has capacity across all projects

AI features

Teamwork includes AI-assisted project summaries and task generation that can help you break down goals into actionable steps faster. It uses AI to surface project risks and give you a quick read on how work is progressing without digging through every task manually.

STOA verdict

Teamwork is a great fit if you run a client-facing service business — like an agency or consulting firm — and need to track projects, time, and billing all in one place. The built-in time tracking and client portal set it apart from simpler tools like Trello or Asana. The downside is that it can feel like more software than a small team needs, and the pricing jumps quickly as you add users.
