Asana

Work-management tool with a free plan for two people and paid plans that add timelines, workload and time tracking.

88/100

#4 of 11 project management tools
Facts checked 8 Oct 2026

In short

Asana suits small teams that need planning views, forms and dashboards on the first paid plan1. Five people pay about $55 a month on Starter, billed yearly1. The catch is the free plan, which allows only two users, and workload and time tracking, which need the $24.99 Advanced plan1. SAML single sign-on is an Enterprise feature1.

Best for: Teams that want planning views and reporting and can pay per user.
