Basic
Asana’s Basic plan is for individuals or teams just getting started with project management. It allows teams to collaborate with up to 15 members. The Basic plan includes unlimited tasks, projects, messages, activity log and file storage (although the files are limited to 100 MB per file). Project managers can also organize tasks using a Kanban-style board to quickly view a project’s overall status, pull up a to-do list to manage every step from start to finish or generate a calendar view. The free version also includes more than 100 integrations to further customize the experience.
For basic task management, Asana’s free version is great. For complex projects and large teams, it might not be a good fit because it does not include a timeline view or advanced search and it limits administrative control. The free version is a great option for small companies, entrepreneurs or for teams of up to 15 members.
Premium
Asana’s Premium plan is $10.99 per user per month when billed annually or $13.49 per user per month if billed monthly. In addition to everything in the free version, the Premium plan includes a Workflow Builder to create automatic processes to coordinate with teams. It also enables advanced searches to filter projects and tasks by parameters such as due dates, completion status and attachments, unlimited dashboards, unlimited guests and the implementation of custom fields.
Premium plan subscribers also unlock a timeline view using the Gantt chart format to chronologically visualize dependent, overlapping and unscheduled tasks with ease. This gives project managers a complete bird’s-eye view of complex projects.
Business
For $24.99 per user per month if billed annually or $30.49 if billed monthly, Asana’s Business plan offers greater interdepartmental and inter-project control, making it ideal for teams and companies that need to manage work across multiple initiatives. One of the main reasons to advance to this tier is to significantly enhance customizations. One way it does this is with integrations such as Salesforce, Adobe Creative Cloud, Tableau and Microsoft Power BI. It also includes form branching, which further improves customization by enabling project managers to follow up on queries associated with particular responses to drop-down questions. To better manage teams, leaders can use the approval feature to clarify the approval process for their team members and the proofing feature to provide feedback on images.
Enterprise
Asana also has a completely customizable plan called Enterprise. With Enterprise, team leaders can use advanced features such as more advanced administrative controls, custom branding and expedited ticket support. In addition, Enterprise comes with the most advanced security features including two-factor authentication, SSO and SAML 2.0, data export, data deletion, encryption in transit and at rest, cross-regional backups and Audit Log API to get critical security alerts. The Enterprise plan is also the only plan that includes 24/7 support.
