The verdict
Our take on Asana
Asana is one of the most polished project management tools available. The Starter plan at $10.99/user/month is well-priced for small teams that need automations and Gantt views. Advanced adds the portfolio and goals layer that growing teams need to connect execution to strategy. The free Personal plan is genuinely usable for individual work but limited to 2 users.
