- Work must be coordinated from tasks and projects through portfolios and company goals: Advanced and higher tiers connect project execution with portfolios, goals, workload, and cross-project reporting.
- External clients or contractors need scoped collaboration without broad organizational access: Asana guests see only explicitly shared work, while read-only links and enterprise invite controls add additional sharing options.

Asana pricing table
Pricing checked: Aug 10, 2026
Official factConfidence 99%1 linked source
Personal is free for up to two users. Starter is USD 10.99 per user per month billed annually or USD 13.49 billed monthly. Advanced is USD 24.99 per user per month billed annually or USD 30.49 billed monthly. Enterprise and Enterprise+ require sales contact. Timesheets and Budgets and compliance capabilities can be separate add-ons.
Official pricing pagePricing cautions
- Advanced time and cost controls require an add-on: Timesheets, budgets, user rates, billable revenue, and enhanced cost reporting are licensed through the separate Timesheets and Budgets add-on for eligible paid tiers.
- Enterprise pricing is not public: Enterprise and Enterprise+ require a sales quote, so their recurring cost and commercial terms cannot be calculated from the public page.

How the score is calculated
The score uses the category-specific buying dimensions below and their displayed weights.
This page is based on public product information, official sources, structured feature data, and multi-model AI evaluation. It is not a hands-on lab test unless explicitly stated. Confidence percentages describe our research indicators, not the probability that a claim is true or a measured accuracy rate.

Why this confidence level
- Evidence confidence uses source level and claim-to-source support; AI claim confidence is shown separately.
- Required-field evidence status measures whether weighted required claims have evidence links; it does not mean every product behavior was independently verified.
- 8 of 8 weighted claims have evidence links.
- 0 A1 documentary official sources and 7 A2 official product sources are linked.
- 3 independent review sources are retained, including 1 professional sources with an explicit hands-on method.
- 4 weighted claims are past the review window.
- No blocking evidence conflict was identified.
Planning and work execution20%
85Enables diverse planning perspectives including lists, boards, timelines, and calendars to manage recurring execution, though advanced workflow capabilities require upgrading.
Collaboration and adoption15%
80A permanent free Personal plan for up to two users plus scoped guests and read-only links lowers entry and external participation barriers, while broader team collaboration still requires paid seats on Starter or above.
Portfolio and program visibility15%
79Portfolios and goals on Advanced and higher provide multi-project and objective visibility for program leaders, while Personal and Starter do not include portfolios per plan positioning.
Resource, capacity, and schedule management15%
71Offers native time tracking on Advanced, but full capacity planning requires Enterprise, and timesheets or budget tracking require a separate paid add-on.
Automation and integrations13%
81Provides automated rules, workflow bundles, and integrations, though standardizing workflows across departments requires Enterprise-level administration.
Reporting, controls, and governance12%
76Offers robust basic dashboards, but advanced compliance, SIEM integration, and managed-workspace controls require upgrading to Enterprise or Enterprise+ tiers.
Usability, support, and total cost10%
69Starter at USD 10.99 per user per month billed annually or USD 13.49 billed monthly and Advanced at USD 24.99 or USD 30.49 on the same billing choices, plus a free two-user Personal plan and free trials, make entry pricing visible, but quote-only Enterprise tiers and the Timesheets and Budgets add-on leave higher-end total cost incomplete without sales.

GeminiAI-assisted buyer perspective79
Asana is a highly adaptable work management platform that scales from simple task boards to multi-project portfolios, but buyers must carefully evaluate steep plan boundaries for resource planning, governance, and cost tracking.
- Review confidence
- 79/100
Model details
- Strengths
- Provides flexible planning layouts including task lists, kanban boards, calendars, timelines, and Gantt charts to suit varied team workflows.
- Facilitates secure external collaboration through scoped guest access and read-only shareable links for client visibility.
- Streamlines recurring processes using customizable forms, automated rules, templates, and cross-functional workflow bundles.
- Cautions
- Gates essential visibility tools including portfolios, goals, critical path tracking, and project workloads to the Advanced tier or higher.
- Excludes financial and billing utilities like project budgets, timesheets, and user rates, which require a separate paid add-on.
- Requires transitioning to custom-quoted Enterprise tiers to access universal capacity planning and core administrative controls like SAML and SCIM.
GPTAI-assisted buyer perspective78
Asana fits teams that need structured project planning, cross-project visibility, and governed collaboration, especially when they can use Advanced or Enterprise tiers for portfolio, workload, and reporting needs; buyers should check whether their required planning depth, time and cost controls, or administration controls sit in the base tiers or require an add-on or quote-based plan.
- Review confidence
- 78/100
Model details
- Strengths
- The product supports multiple planning views including task, list, board, calendar, timeline, and Gantt planning, which gives teams several ways to organize work.
- The product includes projects, portfolios, goals, dashboards, and status reporting, which supports tracking work across initiatives rather than only at task level.
- The product includes rules, forms, templates, workflow bundles, and integrations, which can support standardized workflows and repeatable intake processes.
- The product supports project and portfolio workload plus enterprise capacity planning, which can help buyers match staffing visibility to their operating model.
- Cautions
- Portfolio visibility, workload, critical path, and advanced reporting require Advanced or higher, so teams that need those controls will not get them in the lower public tiers.
- Capacity planning and several governance controls require Enterprise or Enterprise+, so buyers with centralized administration requirements need to verify the target edition before purchase.
- Timesheets, project budgets, rates, billable-time controls, and enhanced cost reporting are separated into an add-on, so time and financial controls are not fully bundled with the core subscription.
- Enterprise and Enterprise+ pricing is quote-based, so buyers cannot compare those recurring costs from the public price page alone.
xAIAI-assisted buyer perspective78
Asana fits cross-functional teams and program leaders that need multi-view project planning, rules-based workflows, and guest collaboration, with portfolios, workload, and native task time available on Advanced while capacity planning, stronger identity controls, and detailed cost tracking require Enterprise tiers or a separate add-on.
- Review confidence
- 78/100
Model details
- Strengths
- Task work can be structured in list, board, calendar, timeline, and Gantt views inside projects, which lets teams choose the planning format that matches each workflow.
- Rules, forms, templates, and workflow bundles support repeatable intake and handoffs so recurring processes can run with less manual coordination.
- Advanced portfolios and goals give program leaders a place to track multi-project progress and objectives alongside day-to-day execution.
- Guests limited to explicitly shared work, plus controlled read-only views, allow external participants to join specific work without full internal seats.
- Cautions
- Portfolios, project or portfolio workload, critical path, and advanced cross-project reporting require Advanced or higher, so multi-project oversight is not available on Personal or Starter.
- Universal workload and capacity planning require Enterprise or Enterprise+, which limits organization-wide resource planning on lower tiers.
- Timesheets, budgets, user rates, billable time, and enhanced cost reporting are licensed through the separate Timesheets and Budgets add-on even when native estimated and actual task time starts on Advanced.
- Enterprise and Enterprise+ pricing is quote-based only, so buyers cannot finalize seat cost or commercial terms from public rates alone.
