Nymble vs Workamajig: Modern Stack or Proven Production Tool?
Workamajig has been running creative agencies since the early 2000s, and if your shop lives by a production schedule with dependencies and traffic management, it's still one of the few tools that takes that seriously. Nymble is the newer, narrower product: sales, contracts, time, and invoicing for a small team, with AI and automation built in rather than bolted on.
We make Nymble. The Workamajig numbers below come from their pricing page as of September 2026, and an earlier version of this post got them badly wrong, so check for yourself.
What each one costs
Workamajig is $49 per user per month for agencies with ten or more users, $47 at 25, and $45 at 50. There's no free tier and no self-serve trial; enterprise deals above 100 users are quoted. Every plan includes the full project management suite, the accounting package, and personalized training and support. Pay annually and the twelfth month is free.
Nymble is $29 (Core) or $49 (Pro) per user per month, or $19 and $32 billed annually, with no seat minimum. Automation, team skills, custom roles, and assignments start at Pro, and Core is capped at 100 contracts. Every plan includes AI credits. Fourteen-day trial, no card. Full table on the pricing page.
So for a ten-person shop, Workamajig is about $490 a month all in. Nymble is $290 on Core, $490 on Pro, the plan most ten-person agencies will want. Same money at Pro. The difference is what you're buying, not how much.
Project management
Workamajig wins this outright. Gantt charts, task dependencies, resource scheduling, digital proofing, traffic management, client and vendor logins. Two decades of creative-agency production workflow are in there.
Nymble has contracts, projects, tasks, and assignments, with earned value on the contract (planned value, actual cost, SPI, CPI) so you can see a job drifting mid-month. It does not have Gantt charts, dependencies, proofing, or a board view. If your day is spent moving a 40-task production schedule around, that's disqualifying, and we'd rather you hear it here.
CRM and sales
Nymble has accounts, contacts, companies, and a weighted pipeline where each stage carries a probability, plus competitor tracking per deal. It imports contacts, companies, and deals from HubSpot on demand (one direction, HubSpot to Nymble). BuiltWith enrichment pulls a prospect's tech stack into the record when you ask for it.
Workamajig's agency plan includes a sales CRM with revenue forecasting. It's a straightforward pipeline without weighted scoring or enrichment.
Our take: Nymble, if the pipeline matters to you as much as delivery.
Time, contracts, and invoicing
Both track time against projects and turn it into invoices, and both handle receivables and payables. Workamajig's accounting package is the deeper of the two: estimates, budgets, purchase orders, chargebacks, and books that an accountant can work in directly.
Nymble's edge is the contract: services and rates on the contract, hours flowing to the client invoice at the right rate, and the same hours landing on the contractor's invoice to you if a contractor did the work. Contractors submit from their own My Invoices page. E-sign agreements, change orders, and online proposals are included on every plan.
Our take: Workamajig if you want accounting inside the platform. Nymble if half your bench invoices you as contractors.
Resource management and skills
Workamajig's resource scheduling is visual with capacity planning weeks ahead. Nymble reports utilization (weekly billable share per person, availability surveys on timesheets) rather than scheduling it, and adds a skills inventory with scoring on the Pro plan so you can see who has done this kind of work before.
AI and automation
Nymble has Ask Nymble, which answers from your own records (hours, invoices, pipeline) within each person's permissions, and AI on the record page to summarize a client, write a status update or draft a message. The same AI runs inside automations. The automation engine triggers on record events, schedules, or webhooks, checks conditions, then sends email or Slack, updates records, calls webhooks, or runs an AI step. Pro plan and up.
Workamajig's automation is approvals and task routing inside projects. No native AI assistant.
Our take: Nymble, and this is the largest gap between the two.
Permissions
Nymble has 46 permission policies you can assign to custom roles (Pro and up), which matters when employees, contractors, and client contacts all touch the system. Workamajig uses role-based access that covers most team shapes with less granularity.

Which one
Workamajig if you're a creative production shop that runs on a schedule with dependencies, wants accounting inside the tool, and has ten or more seats to fill.
Nymble if you're a smaller services agency where the same few people sell, deliver, and invoice, you work with contractors, and you'd rather have automation and a real pipeline than Gantt charts.
If you're on the fence, the trial decides it. Nymble's is 14 days and self-serve. For Workamajig you'll book a demo, and that's worth doing before you commit a year.
