Where Asana frustrates teams
- No native time tracking — you need Harvest, Everhour or Toggl on top.
- Timeline and Portfolios are locked behind the $24.99 Advanced tier.
- No built-in invoicing, so agencies bolt on a second tool.
- Guests count toward your seat count on some plans.
- Automations ("Rules") are limited on lower tiers.
What you get with ManageYourProject

- Native invoicing turns approved billable hours into an invoice in one click.

Where Asana is still the better pick
A calm, familiar task list and strong mobile apps. If that is the core of your workflow, stay where you are — we would rather you kept a tool that fits.
The price difference on a 15-person team
Asana lists at $10.99–$24.99/user/mo. At the top of that range, 15 people costs $4,498/year. The same team on our Pro plan billed annually costs $720/year — a saving of $3,778 per year (84%). Add the time tracker and invoicing tool most teams buy alongside Asana and the gap widens further.
