In short
FlowQi vs Teamwork: Which is better for agency work?
Teamwork is a project management platform popular with agencies. FlowQi is an all-in-one business platform that includes CRM, projects, time tracking, and invoicing. Both are built for client work, here is how they compare.
Key differences
One platform vs multiple products
Teamwork runs projects, time and invoicing in Teamwork.com, with support in Teamwork Desk as a separate subscription, and has no CRM built in. FlowQi brings CRM, project management, time tracking and invoicing together in one platform: Basic is free, Core is per user, and Time & Resources and Billing are modules for the people who use them.
Pricing model
Teamwork Basics starts at $9.99 per user per month for project management and time tracking. Capacity planning, time budgets and invoicing arrive on Accelerate at $24.99. Teamwork Desk, for support, is a separate subscription. FlowQi starts at $0 with Basic, Core is $25 per user per month, and Time & Resources (+$25) and Billing (+$25) are added only for the people who use them, even on Basic.
Client billing workflow
Both platforms track time, and both can turn it into invoices: Teamwork from Accelerate, FlowQi with the Billing module. The difference is the client record. In FlowQi a client in CRM is linked to a project, time is tracked against the project, and invoices are generated from tracked time, all without leaving the platform. Teamwork.com has no built-in CRM, so client records live in another tool.
Target market
Teamwork is used by agencies worldwide and is well-established. FlowQi is newer, built in the Netherlands, with a focus on European agencies and GDPR-first design.

Frequently asked questions
How does FlowQi pricing compare to Teamwork?
It depends on what you need. Teamwork Basics is $9.99 per user per month for projects and time; Accelerate is $24.99 and adds capacity planning, time budgets and invoicing for everyone on the workspace. FlowQi Basic includes CRM for free, Core is $25 per user per month, and the modules for time and billing are added per person, so a team where only a few people track hours or send invoices pays for only those people. Where FlowQi is plainly different is the free plan: unlimited users, against Teamwork Free at five users and five projects.
Can I migrate from Teamwork to FlowQi?
Yes. You import contacts, organisations and projects via CSV, and we help you set things up. You also gain a CRM, which Teamwork.com does not include.
What is the main difference between FlowQi and Teamwork?
FlowQi has a CRM and Teamwork.com does not have one built in. Teamwork.com covers projects, time and, on the higher plans, invoicing; support lives in Teamwork Desk as a separate subscription. If your client records matter as much as your project records, that is the difference: with Teamwork you keep them somewhere else.
Is FlowQi better for agencies than Teamwork?
Both platforms serve agencies well. FlowQi's advantage is the fully connected workflow from client to project to timesheet to invoice in one platform. With Teamwork, you need a separate tool for the CRM.
Does FlowQi have invoicing built in, unlike Teamwork?
Both do, but on different terms. Teamwork includes invoicing from the Accelerate plan at $24.99 per user per month, and everyone on the workspace pays that rate. In FlowQi, the Billing module costs $25 per user per month, works on the free Basic plan, and you add it only for the people who actually send invoices.
Does FlowQi offer European data hosting?
It depends on the FlowQi entity you contract with: your data is hosted in the EU or in the US. FlowQi is built in the Netherlands with GDPR-first design. Teamwork is Ireland-based and also offers GDPR compliance.
