Marque CRM vs Teamwork

Teamwork is built for agencies but per-user pricing gets expensive fast and there's no site monitoring. See how Marque CRM compares for UK digital agencies.

The short version

Choose Teamwork if…

  • • You've evaluated most platforms and specifically need Teamwork's client-user model (free client logins don't count toward seats)
  • • You're already deeply embedded in the Teamwork ecosystem and switching costs are high
  • • You don't run client websites on retainer, so site monitoring isn't a priority

Choose Marque if…

  • • You want flat-rate pricing that doesn't scale linearly with headcount
  • • You manage client websites and want uptime/SSL monitoring inside your agency tool
  • • You need client health scores and AI-assisted support triage
  • • You want Shopify sync for e-commerce clients

What Teamwork does well

Teamwork has been building agency-focused software for over 15 years and it shows. The project management layer is genuinely mature: task dependencies, milestones, time tracking tied directly to budget burn, and a client portal that clients can actually use without confusion. The Gantt chart and resource scheduling tools are particularly well-developed for teams managing multiple concurrent projects.

The helpdesk product (Teamwork Desk) is a proper support ticketing system with SLA management, and Teamwork CRM rounds out a fairly comprehensive suite. Unlike ClickUp or Monday.com, Teamwork wasn't retrofitting agency features — it was built with them in mind.

Where Marque has the edge

Teamwork's per-user pricing looks manageable at 3 people. At 10 it starts to sting. At 15 you're paying well over £200/mo before you've added their CRM or Desk products — both of which are separate products with their own billing. Marque's Agency tier at £149/mo covers 15 users and includes everything: projects, CRM, invoicing, support tickets, and site monitoring. No add-on products, no per-seat surprises.

This is the single most surprising omission for a platform that calls itself agency-first. Most digital agencies manage client websites — on WordPress, Shopify, or bespoke builds — and need to know about outages and SSL expiries before their clients do. Teamwork has no concept of site monitoring. Marque monitors uptime, SSL certificates, and WordPress plugin versions for every client site, surfacing issues directly in the client record.

Pricing

Marque is a flat fee per agency, not per seat: Starter £29 , Grow £79 , Agency £149 a month, with 90 days free and no card to start. Hiring somebody does not change the bill until you run out of seats on your plan.
