A Teamwork alternative that keeps projects next to your customers
Short answer: Teamwork.com is project management built for client work, used by many agencies and professional service firms. If you are looking for a Teamwork alternative because your projects are only one part of running the business, Alori is the all-in-one app for service businesses. Projects and tasks sit next to your customers, deals, meetings, quotes and invoices, and every plan has unlimited users.
Who Teamwork.com fits well
Teamwork.com is a mature tool for teams that deliver projects to clients. It fits well when:
- You run an agency or a professional services firm with many client projects at once.
- You track time against projects and budgets, and bill from those hours.
- You plan who works on what across a team, week by week.
- Your project managers want detailed views like Gantt charts and workloads.
As of October 2026, Teamwork.com's pricing page lists a Free plan for up to 5 users, Basics at $9.99 per user per month billed annually (minimum 3 users) and Accelerate at $24.99 per user per month billed annually (minimum 5 users), with higher plans through sales.
Why service owners look for a Teamwork alternative
- Projects live apart from the client. Leads, deals, emails and invoices sit in other tools, so the full story of a client is split.
- Meetings end up as loose notes. Next steps are typed again into the project by hand.
- Per user pricing grows with the team. Adding freelancers, part timers or field staff adds to the bill.

What Alori replaces, and what it does not
Alori covers the projects and tasks of a small service team, and links them to the rest of the work:
- Projects that group tasks and jobs that belong together, with or without a customer. See tasks.
- Tasks you add in a sentence, like "Call Deschênes tomorrow @Tom !high", with a board view by status and tasks that repeat every week, month or year.
- Assign, accept or send back. A teammate accepts a task, or clicks Can't do it with a reason.
- Meetings to tasks. Record a video meeting, read the summary, and click Create the task beside a next step. See meeting notes to tasks.
- Customers, deals, quotes and invoices in the same app, so a project sits next to the client it is for.
What Alori does not replace today: tracking billable hours and turning them into invoices, retainers, Gantt charts and capacity planning. Billable time to invoice is coming soon, see time and billing. If your firm bills by the hour from tracked time today, keep Teamwork.com for that part.

FAQ
Is Alori a good Teamwork alternative? Yes, for small service teams that want projects and tasks in the same app as their customers, deals, meetings and invoices. If you bill clients from tracked hours or need detailed resource planning today, Teamwork.com does that now.
Can I import my tasks from Teamwork.com? Yes. Export them to Excel or CSV and import the file on the Tasks page. Alori reads the columns on its own, and you can undo the import.
Does Alori track time? Yes, from jobs. Put people on a job's crew, and their hours land on their timesheet while the job is in progress. You approve the week and export it for payroll. Those hours don't go on invoices yet: billable time to invoice and retainers are coming soon.
