Asana review

Asana ranks first because its Starter plan covers the full loop of planning, tracking and deadline review without add-ons. The free Personal plan gives 2 users unlimited tasks and projects with list, board and calendar views, so a team lead can set up a pilot project at no cost. Starter costs $10.99 per user a month billed annually, or $13.49 billed monthly, and adds timeline and Gantt views with task dependencies, reporting dashboards, unlimited automations, intake forms that create tasks, custom templates and custom fields. It also removes the seat cap and lets clients and contractors join as free guests. Advanced at $24.99 adds portfolios, goals, resource management, approvals and proofing, and time tracking that compares estimated and actual hours. The weak points are the 2-user free plan and the jump in price for portfolio views, which matter most for teams running many projects at once.
