All your questions, answered
What's the main difference between Magnetic and Workamajig?
Magnetic is a purpose-built PSA with transparent, published pricing from £9/user/month, and a native CRM, project management, resource planning, time tracking, invoicing, and reporting all included from the Essentials plan (min. 5 users). Workamajig is an agency-focused PSA built specifically for advertising agencies and in-house creative teams, with strong native accounting and a distinctive digital proofing tool for creative approvals — but its published pricing starts at $45–$49/user/month with a 10-user minimum, no free trial, and no free plan. For firms outside the advertising/creative niche, or those wanting to start smaller and cheaper, Magnetic is the more accessible option; for agencies that specifically need built-in creative proofing workflows, Workamajig has a genuine edge there.
Does Workamajig have a built-in CRM?
Yes — Workamajig's Agency plan includes a native sales CRM with revenue forecasting, alongside payables/receivables and unlimited client/vendor logins. This is a genuine strength and a point of similarity with Magnetic, which also includes native CRM with deal pipelines, weighted forecasting, and deal-level margin insight — from the Essentials plan (£9/user/month), well below Workamajig's $49/user/month, 10-user-minimum Agency plan.
How do the financial features compare?
Both tools go deep on agency-specific financial controls. Workamajig supports Fixed Fee, Time & Materials, retainer, advanced/pre-billing, WIP, and media billing methods, with WIP postings to unbilled revenue and an Advanced Billing feature for revenue recognition. Magnetic includes WIP management with three revenue recognition methods, purchase order management with supplier invoicing, and baseline budget tracking with variance reporting from the Essentials and Pro plans — at roughly a fifth of Workamajig's per-user cost, with no 10-user minimum.
How do the pricing models compare?
Magnetic publishes simple, feature-based tiers: Essentials at £9/user/month and Pro at £17/user/month (both min. 5 users), with a 14-day free trial and no credit card required. Workamajig's pricing is volume-based rather than feature-based — $49/user/month at 10+ users, dropping to $45/user/month at 50+ users, with a 10-user minimum and Enterprise tiers (100+ users) requiring a custom quote. Workamajig offers no free trial and no free plan; you go straight to a sales conversation.
Which tool is better for resource planning?
Both offer solid resource scheduling — skills and availability visible on a live dashboard, capacity forecasting, and automatic conflict detection for double-bookings. Magnetic includes this from the Essentials plan with AI-assisted resource suggestions and full leave management (balances, approvals, public holidays). Workamajig's resourcing is built for agency production teams specifically and is a genuine strength of the platform, but it comes bundled into a $45–$49/user/month plan with a 10-user minimum rather than being available at Magnetic's lower entry price.
Which tool offers better customer support?
Workamajig, as a higher-touch agency platform, is typically sold and onboarded with more hands-on implementation support given its accounting depth. Magnetic provides personalised onboarding on all paid plans, monthly live training sessions for new and existing team members, and a hands-on customer success approach — without the higher per-user cost or 10-user minimum.
