The best all-round project management app for teams: clean tasks, timelines and unlimited automation rules from its first paid plan, but the free plan is for two people and seats are sold in blocks.
What it is
Asana organizes work into tasks and projects shown as lists, boards and calendars, with timeline (Gantt) views, reporting dashboards, forms, custom fields and rule-based automation on paid plans, plus portfolios, goals, resource management and approvals higher up. AI Teammates and AI Studio run on requests: each paid plan includes 5 requests per user a month (capped at 50 per account on Starter and Advanced), and extra requests are $0.50 prepaid or $0.60 on demand. US plans: Personal is free for up to 2 users (unlimited tasks and projects, list, board and calendar views, 100+ integrations, no automation rules or timeline); Starter is $10.99 per user a month billed yearly ($13.49 monthly) with timeline and Gantt views, unlimited automations and free guests; Advanced is $24.99 billed yearly ($30.49 monthly) with portfolios, goals, resource management and time tracking; Enterprise and Enterprise+ are on quote. Seats are sold in blocks: 2 to 5 users one at a time, then increments of 5 up to 30 users and 10 up to 100. A limited-time new-customer discount was running on Starter and Advanced. Web, Windows, macOS, iOS and Android. Checked on asana.com November 12, 2026.
