Teamwork.com

Teamwork Crew Limited has been in Cork since 2007, which makes it one of the oldest companies in this directory and by some margin the most established European alternative to Asana and monday.com.

What separates it is that the commercial side is part of the product. Billable time, retainers, budgets and invoicing sit next to the tasks, so an agency does not have to reconcile a project tool against an accounting package at the end of every month. It also holds ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and SOC 2 Type 2, a stronger audit position than almost anything else here.

The caveat is the infrastructure. Teamwork states that its servers are with Amazon Web Services and hosted within both the US and the EU. An Irish company is outside the CLOUD Act; AWS is not, so the answer to where your data can be compelled from depends on which part of the chain you are asking about.

What Teamwork.com does well

• Billable time, retainers and invoicing in the same product as the project
• ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and SOC 2 Type 2, the strongest audit position in this category
• Irish company, so the contracting party is inside the EU
• Free plan for up to five users, and $9.99 per user per month after that
• Eighteen years of product behind it, which shows in how little breaks

Where Teamwork.com falls short

• Runs on AWS across both US and EU regions, so a US provider is in the chain
• The interface carries a lot of history and can feel dense
• Priced per user, so it scales up faster than the flat-fee tools here
• Aimed at client work, so an internal product team uses maybe half of it

Standout feature. It is the only tool here where an invoice is a first-class object, which is what an agency needs and what every board-shaped competitor asks it to fake with custom fields.
