The features that pull in opposite directions
Pricing: Per seat versus per resource
Ganttic charges by the resource and leaves users completely free. Fifty engineers and thirty trucks equal eighty resources. Whether twenty planners schedule them or fifty stakeholders log in to check progress, your price stays the exact same. You can assign Owners, Admins, and View-only users without ever worrying about seat limits.

Wrike charges per seat. If an operations director checks utilization on Mondays, or a client needs sight of the timeline, each of them requires a paid license.
AI Features
Ganttic intentionally omits AI scheduling. A manager walking a site catches human nuances that dashboards miss. Ganttic focuses on total visual clarity. We allow people to make the final judgment calls rather than having software quietly shuffle the schedule in the background.
Wrike includes AI Elite, which offers automated task assignment, risk prediction, and generative text. It is a highly capable tool for teams that want artificial intelligence to help optimize and accelerate their daily workflows.
Automation
Ganttic handles lightweight automation, and our open API is there for complex integrations. Overall though, we prioritize clarity over heavy automation. We keep the platform fast and flexible so you never get locked into rigid processes. You can make your setup as deep or as lightweight as you prefer.
Wrike offers heavy rule-based automation. You can build custom blueprints to trigger approval workflows or reshape schedules. This requires significant setup and maintenance.
Ganttic focuses on resource and project planning. It runs perfectly alongside your other tools via calendar syncs or APIs. We avoid the clutter of document editors and approval forms to keep the scheduling experience fast, clear, and precise.
When it comes to scope, Ganttic is built to adapt to you. Whether you’re a small company of 40 or a massive enterprise with over 5,000 resources, you get to choose your data depth. It’s completely up to you whether you want a lightweight setup or a highly complex one.
Wrike offers a suite of tools. It includes document proofing, native whiteboards, and complex project intake forms.
Wrike calls itself “AI-powered enterprise work management software.” This might not be the right fit if your company is an SMB or your main goal is managing 50 engineers and 20 trucks.
Support and onboarding
Ganttic includes unlimited support on every plan. You can book free support demos during setup and after you subscribe. When you reach out, a real person answers. For teams migrating from spreadsheets, this hands-on help is vital.
Wrike offers live chat and a web form as standard. Direct phone lines and dedicated support engineers require purchasing the Premium Support add-on.
