See the details →Wrike vs FabricLoop
Wrike tracks the plan. The debate happens elsewhere
Wrike is built for project, resource, and request management at scale, and most Wrike teams carry the debate in Slack or email. For teams whose real work is conversation plus owned follow-through, FabricLoop attaches a real chat layer to tasks and notes, so the plan and the debate share one home.

Where Wrike is strong
We are not pretending otherwise

Mature clients
Web and mobile apps for project tracking — often desktop-first for heavy delivery work.
Where FabricLoop wins
The reason to switch
Complete messaging
Slack-style chat beside the tasks, so the plan and the debate share one home.

Side by side
Detailed comparison
Honest on both columns — including where Wrike already ships something good.
| Capability | Wrike | FabricLoop |
|---|---|---|
| Messaging (the gap) | Comments, proofs, and item discussion. Slack or email usually remains the messenger. | Complete team messaging: channels/Groups, DMs, mute, threads, @here / @channel, searchable history — Slack-style habits |
| Tasks & projects | Deep project, resource, and request management — Wrike's core. | Turn a message into a task with an owner, priority, and due date. Break it into subtasks under a parent, name what blocks it, and add labels. List, Kanban, and calendar timeline views show the same work, and a dashboard shows workload, throughput, and at-risk tasks, with files and comments on the task — tied to the conversation. Built for delivery that stays attached to chat; Wrike keeps the edge on enterprise workflows. |
| Notes & docs | Descriptions and attachments on work items; longer writing often external. | Real-time co-editing notes, highlight-to-task, approvals — linked to Groups and chat |
| Calls | Not the primary collaboration surface. | Calls with messaging, tasks, and notes in one app; AI summaries in-thread. |
| Apps / clients | Web and mobile clients for work management — often desktop-first for heavy delivery. | Installable apps on iOS, iPad, Mac, Windows, and Android — same product as the web, not a half-hearted viewer that pushes you to desktop. iOS is a true native app; Mac and Windows are desktop apps from the stores. |
| AI & agents | Work-management AI / agent positioning on modern Wrike plans. | Loop Agent on Claude, Gemini, OpenAI or Grok models (an auto model picker chooses), model costs billed directly; MCP client & server with audited grants; voice AI; message apps/agents in-channel with no slash commands |
| Pricing | Seat-based work management; chat still often a separate product. | Free $0 (up to 10 groups, unlimited users, 90-day history, voice AI 5 sessions/hour, test-only agent credits). Standard $10/mo or $96/yr per user with unlimited groups. Enterprise $20/mo or $192/yr. Agent model costs billed directly (Anthropic or ChatGPT). |
| SSO / audit logs | Enterprise packages. | SSO/SAML and audit logs on Enterprise |
| HIPAA | Enterprise / compliance packages. | Available with a BAA — we'll set it up with you |

Why teams switch
From Wrike to one workspace
01
The plan and the debate share one home
Wrike tracks the plan; Slack or email carries the debate. FabricLoop closes that gap with complete messaging and a real task system in one workspace.
02
Concrete agents, not only a work OS slogan
Open MCP with audited, revocable grants — plus Loop Agent on Anthropic or ChatGPT models, model costs billed directly — instead of bolting agents onto a PM suite that still needs a messenger.
03
Simpler pricing story
Free $0 with up to 10 groups and unlimited users (90-day history, voice AI 5 sessions/hour, test-only agent credits). Standard $10/mo or $96/yr with unlimited groups. Enterprise $20/mo or $192/yr. Need HIPAA? We'll set up a BAA with you.
04
Installable apps for chat and work together
iOS, iPad, Mac, Windows, Android — full-product apps for the whole workspace, not only the project portal.
Migration
Bring Wrike work into conversational groups
Start with the projects that generate the most chat noise. We import and export your Wrike data for free — recreate the work as FabricLoop Groups with linked tasks and notes, then retire the parallel messenger for those teams.
- 01Identify high-traffic Wrike projects that spawn constant Slack/email threads.
- 02Create matching FabricLoop Groups; send us the active work to bring over.
- 03Run delivery updates in FabricLoop threads so notes and decisions stay attached.
- 04Add Enterprise SSO/SAML when IT is ready — and we'll set up a BAA when you need HIPAA.
What we bring over
Projects as Groups and tasks with owners, linked to the conversation that created them.
How we do it
We prioritize the projects generating the most side-channel chat in Slack or email first. We import and export your data for free. There is no one-click importer.
What does not move automatically
Resource management, proofing workflows, and approval chains are not migrated automatically — Wrike's deeper PMO features have no direct FabricLoop equivalent yet.
FAQ
Switching from Wrike: common questions
Can we try FabricLoop alongside Wrike?
Yes. Free includes up to 10 groups and unlimited users, so you can run FabricLoop beside Wrike and move one team or project at a time. Most teams do not do a single risky cutover.
How do we move from Wrike to FabricLoop?
Projects as Groups and tasks with owners, linked to the conversation that created them. We prioritize the projects generating the most side-channel chat in Slack or email first. We import and export your data for free. There is no one-click importer, because the mapping decisions are worth getting right rather than fast.
What does not move over automatically?
Resource management, proofing workflows, and approval chains are not migrated automatically — Wrike's deeper PMO features have no direct FabricLoop equivalent yet.
What does FabricLoop cost compared with Wrike?
Model: Seat-based work management. Chat: Usually a separate product. Enterprise: SSO and audit logs sit in enterprise packages. Free is $0 with up to 10 groups and unlimited users. Standard is $10 per user per month ($96 a year) and Enterprise is $20 per user per month ($192 a year). Agent model costs are billed directly.
Does FabricLoop have AI agents?
Yes. Loop Agent lives in your channels and works across your whole workspace. Agents can run on Claude, Gemini, OpenAI and Grok models, and an auto model picker chooses the best one for agent tasks. You can also connect Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor through MCP, with revocable, audited grants.
Is FabricLoop secure enough for an IT review?
FabricLoop uses encryption in transit and at rest. Enterprise adds SSO and SAML, audit logs, custom data retention and an admin console. HIPAA is available on request through a Business Associate Agreement.
When should we stay with Wrike?
You manage requests, approvals and proofing at scale, or resource planning drives your delivery. Wrike’s depth suits PMO-style organizations.
