Height vs Teamwork.com: Which AI Tool Is Better in 2026?

No. Height discontinued operations on September 24, 2025, and is no longer available for new sign-ups or existing customer access. The platform was shut down after three and a half years of public availability. Users who relied on Height must migrate to alternative project management tools.

Height's key innovation was fully autonomous AI — rather than adding AI assistants to human-driven workflows like Linear or Jira do, Height's AI autonomously handled bug triage, backlog grooming, and spec maintenance. This meant the AI prioritized and assigned bugs without human input, continuously cleaned up backlogs, and updated documentation in real-time from chat conversations. Most project management tools use AI to assist or suggest; Height's AI acted independently under human supervision.

Teamwork.com is built for agencies, creative shops, consultancies, and professional-services firms that bill clients by the hour and need to track project profitability. It combines task and project management with native time tracking, invoicing, budget forecasting, and AI-assisted resource optimization in one platform — avoiding the tool sprawl of stitching together a PM app and a separate billing system. Horizontal tools like Asana require add-ons for time tracking and billing; Teamwork makes both native.

Height's AI was autonomous and proactive — it continuously triaged bugs, groomed backlogs, and updated docs without human initiation. Teamwork's AI is assistive and human-supervised — it suggests project plans (AI Project Wizard), forecasts profitability, optimizes scheduling, and summarizes status, but humans make final decisions. Height was AI-first; Teamwork is human-first with AI as a productivity lever.

Teamwork.com does not have specific built-in importers for Height data. You must first export your Height data before the platform shutdown (which already occurred in September 2025). When migrating, check whether your target tool (Shortcut, Linear, Jira, or Teamwork itself) supports CSV or JSON imports. Teamwork.com's support team can assist with migration planning for data that can be mapped to its structure.

Height's closure suggests the market was either not ready for fully autonomous project management or the product did not achieve sufficient product-market fit despite strong backing (a16z, Y Combinator, Figma founders). Autonomous features may have been ahead of their time, too complex for simpler use cases, or not aligned with how teams actually wanted to work. Market timing and distribution challenges likely played a role in the discontinuation.

Yes. Teamwork.com includes native time tracking tied to billable rates, automated invoicing, expense management, and project-level budget tracking. This is a core differentiator from horizontal tools like Asana or ClickUp, which require third-party integrations for billing and financial reporting. Teamwork's AI Forecaster can predict project profitability in real-time based on logged hours and budget consumption.
