Can Taskora Replace Asana for a 10-Person Team?
Written by Georgii Garanin, Founder, Taskora
TL;DR: If your 10-person team runs its work on boards and sprints and wants the docs and the reports in the same workspace on one flat plan, Taskora can carry that. If the team leans on Asana's intake forms and approvals, its workload view, its portfolios, or the integration ecosystem, staying on Asana is the right call, and the section below names those cases. On price, the flat plan carries everything, including the docs and wiki Asana does not market as a standalone team wiki, and there is no tier above it to buy. A 10-seat team on Taskora bills $100 a month with yearly billing, or $130 monthly. Asana Starter comes to $109.90 a month for the same ten seats and Advanced to $249.90, both from list rates of $10.99 and $24.99 per user per month billed yearly. Over a first year that is $1,200 on Taskora against $1,318.80 at Starter and $2,998.80 at Advanced. On the work, the switch is export-only: Taskora ships no importer, so you pull your data out and rebuild the live work by hand. Every Asana price here was pulled from asana.com on 2026-10-08, so check their pricing page before you act on any of it.
Taskora vs Asana: what the question really covers
The question arrives at the growth moment. A founder or an ops lead runs a company of two to fifteen people on Asana's free plan or on Starter, the month arrives when the free plan stops being enough, and the upgrade screen asks a second question: how many of the features your team actually came for sit on the tier above the one you just priced? Anyone typing "asana alternative for small teams" or "asana free version limitations" into a search box is living that moment.
Taskora's answer covers the everyday part of that decision. It is task management software and a wiki for growing teams: kanban boards organized into streams (a stream is a project with its own board), sprints on custom cycles (a cycle is your sprint length), docs and wiki with version history, subtasks, dependencies, comments and mentions, reporting, and members and admin roles, all in one workspace on one flat plan. The sprints page shows one cycle running end to end.
Asana goes deeper in five places, and the depth is real. Its intake forms and cross-team approvals run requests through structured flows, and Taskora has no equivalent. The workload view on Advanced is how Asana handles resource management, and Taskora has no counterpart for it. Portfolios, on Advanced, roll many projects into one report. The integrations directory is far larger than Taskora's, which ships none. And Asana AI, including its studio for building automated workflows, is shipping today where Taskora's AI assist is in development. For teams that live inside those five places, Taskora is not the right tool.
A note on bias: we build Taskora, and every Taskora gap below is stated for exactly that reason.
What each tool does for a 10-person team
A dash means that side lacks the capability. Taskora's dashes are bare, and Asana's carry the tier gate, because on Asana, which tier carries a feature is often the fact that decides.
| Capability | Taskora | Asana |
|---|---|---|
| List, board, and calendar views | Kanban boards organized into streams, a stream is a project with its own board | List, board, and calendar views from the start |
| Docs and team wiki in the product | Yes, with version history | -, Asana ships project briefs and a project description, and does not market a standalone team wiki |
| Subtasks | Included, with priorities, attachments, and an activity log | Yes |
| Dependencies between tasks | Included on the flat plan | On Starter and above |
| Timeline view | - | On Starter and above |
| Workload view | - | On Advanced and above |
| Portfolios across many projects | - | On Advanced and above |
| Forms and approvals | - | Forms on Starter and above, approvals on Advanced and above |
| Automations | - | Unlimited rules on Starter and above, AI Studio credits metered by plan |
| Reporting | Burndown in reports. No velocity chart. | Tier-gated, reporting and admin controls sit on paid plans |
| AI features | -, AI assist in development | Shipping on paid tiers: AI Teammates, Dash, and AI Studio |
| Integrations directory | - | A broad directory of integrations |
| SAML single sign-on | Enterprise arrangements on request at hello@taskora.ai | At Enterprise |
| Pricing model | One flat plan, $10 per seat billed yearly or $13 monthly | Per-seat on every paid tier |
In plain words, the dash cells say: automations, a workload view, portfolios, forms, timelines, and integrations are open gaps as this page is written. The AI row gets its own paragraph in the losses section below. The Asana cells state the tier gates, and the pricing section prices them directly.
Asana pricing for 10 users: the flat plan against per-seat tiers
Two billing rules matter before the numbers. First, every Asana paid tier is per-seat, and no flat or one-price plan exists in Asana's pricing. Second, the rates Asana advertises are the per-user monthly rates on yearly billing, and billed-monthly rates run higher ($13.49 Starter and $30.49 Advanced per user per month in current USD), which is why the table below prices both cycles.
| Seats | Taskora yearly billing | Taskora monthly billing | Asana Starter billed yearly | Asana Advanced billed yearly | Asana billed monthly |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5 | $50/mo ($600/yr) | $65/mo | $54.95/mo ($659.40/yr) | $124.95/mo ($1,499.40/yr) | $67.45 to $152.45 |
| 10 | $100/mo ($1,200/yr) | $130/mo | $109.90/mo ($1,318.80/yr) | $249.90/mo ($2,998.80/yr) | $134.90 to $304.90 |
| 50 | $500/mo ($6,000/yr) | $650/mo | $549.50/mo ($6,594/yr) | $1,249.50/mo ($14,994/yr) | $674.50 to $1,524.50 |
Asana list rates as of 2026-10-08 from asana.com. Asana Enterprise is quote-gated, so no enterprise row appears.
Read the 10-seat row slowly. Taskora's yearly bill at $100 sits under Asana Starter at $109.90, and Taskora is one plan while Starter is the entry tier. The features a growing team actually reaches for on Asana, the workload view and the portfolios that roll projects into one report, sit on Advanced and above. The same ten seats bill $249.90 a month there because the per-seat rate multiplies across seats and tiers. That spread is the per-seat tax with a tier gate on top: the flat plan's $100 carries every feature, so the honest comparison for most ten-person teams is $100 against $249.90 rather than against Starter.
The free plan belongs in this arithmetic too, because that is where the spreadsheet-and-chat setup usually begins. Asana's free plan is built for one or two people managing personal projects, so a growing team usually runs into the paid tier early, and the growth moment is the point at which the calm, familiar interface starts asking for $10.99 or $24.99 per user. The free Personal card covers 2 users, unlimited tasks and projects, list, board, and calendar views, unlimited storage capped at 100MB per file, status updates, and time tracking through integrations, and the automations, timeline and Gantt views, custom fields, forms, and reporting dashboards all sit on Starter and above.
If you are still pricing several tools at once, how to choose a team task management app scores five vendors against a checklist, and what a seat actually costs walks through what your first year really costs, seat creep included. The pricing article takes the whole market in one table, so this page deliberately stops at Asana.
Who should stay on Asana
Staying is often the right call, so this page names the five cases that keep you on Asana.
Intake forms and approvals. Asana is strongest for cross-team approvals and forms. If incoming briefs, requests, and signoffs run through structured flows, that machinery does a job Taskora cannot do. Forms sit on Starter and above and approvals on Advanced and above, so check the current shape on asana.com before acting.
Workload and resource management. On Advanced and above, the workload view is Asana's answer to who-can-take-what, and it is a genuine product feature. Taskora has no workload view, so if capacity management is how your week gets planned, that row is a reason to stay.
Portfolios. If your leads report across many projects in one place, portfolios on Advanced and above do it, and Taskora's streams are deliberately one project per stream with no cross-project roll-up.
Integration breadth. If the week runs through a stack of connected apps, Asana's directory is far larger than Taskora's, which ships none. Tool-to-tool plumbing you rely on today would end at Taskora's boundary.
The calm interface, company-wide. For non-engineers, the chooser guide calls Asana's interface the calmest of the other four platforms it scores, and teams that keep everyone in one familiar tool for months of adoption time are buying exactly that. A lower line item does not pay for the adoption cost of retraining a team that is settled and happy.
If your needs sit past one flat plan, enterprise arrangements are on request at hello@taskora.ai, with no self-serve checkout. If your needs sit inside one flat plan, the next section is the part to read.
What moving from Asana to Taskora takes
Taskora's side of the exchange is export, and nothing else. You can request a full export at any time. There is no importer and no integrations, so nothing arrives in Taskora automatically.
The Asana side is yours to run. Asana lets you export a project as a CSV or JSON file, and the CSV export is selected from the project's actions menu. Admins can restrict dashboard and reporting exports, so begin by asking your admin what this workspace allows.
After the exports comes the rebuild, and the rebuild is manual. It goes best when you move live work only. Create one stream per real project, set the status workflow your team already runs, set the cycle length, and hand-move the current work, not the history. Write the decisions that mattered into docs as you go. Let the past rest inside the export files, where it stays readable, and keep the old Asana workspace around read-only for a couple of weeks while the new one settles in. There is no shortcut through this, and there does not need to be one.
One more difference in how the products deploy: Asana is a cloud product, and there is no self-managed Asana edition. Taskora runs differently, because self-hosted deployment on your own servers and fully air-gapped deployment are both available on request, at the same flat price.
What a 10-person team loses in the switch
Most of what a team this size gives up sits in the dash cells of the table above, so this section expands on two of them instead of repeating the row.
AI features. Asana ships its AI as AI Teammates, AI Studio (a no-code builder for automated workflows), a Dash AI assistant, and AI connectors for external tools, included on paid plans only and metered by plan. If AI inside the tracker is part of how you evaluate tools, Asana has a working AI story today and Taskora does not. AI assist is in development and rolls out to early members first, so it is not live just yet.
Automations. Taskora lists no automations, and Asana includes unlimited automation rules on Starter and above, with AI Studio automations metered by credits per plan. If your week runs on Asana automation rules, treat that as a reason to stay. If you are deciding whether a premium tier is worth it just to unlock dependencies and subtasks, the dependencies and subtasks guide covers what is worth doing without a premium tier at all.
Everything else in those dash cells, a workload view, forms, timelines, portfolios, and the integrations themselves, matters in proportion to how your team hands off work. Score the dash cells against your own week, and ignore the row count. Capability nobody touches costs nothing to lose, and capability the team leans on daily was the point of paying for Asana in the first place.
FAQ
Can Taskora replace Asana?
Yes, with a limit worth naming. Taskora covers task management with kanban boards, sprints on custom cycles, docs and a wiki with version history, subtasks, dependencies, and reporting, on one flat plan. Where Asana needs to be Asana (intake forms and approvals, the workload view, portfolios, the integration directory, and its AI tooling), the replacement does not hold, and this article says so where it matters.
What does Asana cost for 10 users, and how does Taskora compare?
As of 2026-10-08 on asana.com, Asana Starter charges $10.99 per user per month and Advanced charges $24.99, both on yearly billing, so ten seats come to $109.90 or $249.90 a month. Taskora's flat plan bills $10 per seat per month on yearly billing, $100 at 10 seats, or $13 monthly, $130, with every feature included and nothing held for a higher tier. Rates adjust with Asana's billing cycles and plan line-up, so confirm the current rates on asana.com before you switch anything.
Who should stay on Asana?
Teams whose week depends on intake forms and approvals, capacity and workload management, portfolios across many projects, a broad integration directory, or company-wide adoption of an interface their people already run well. Some of those are capability requirements rather than preferences, and paying a per-seat bill for capabilities in daily use is a reasonable call. Nobody has to apologize for it. The flat plan is the better buy when a team wants one workspace with the board, the docs, and the reports, and does not lean on Asana's depth.
Does Taskora import data from Asana?
No. Taskora has no importer, so the move is export and rebuild. You can request a full export of your Taskora data at any time, and from Asana you take project exports through their interface where your admin allows it. Move the live work by hand and leave settled history in the export files.
Is Taskora free?
Free to start until November 1, no credit card. After that, there's a 14-day free trial. We don't offer a permanent free tier today.
Try Taskora while the free-start window is open
It's free to start until November 1, 2026, no credit card. Take one real project out of Asana, rebuild it as a stream with the statuses your team already says out loud, and run one cycle on the board. If the flat plan carries a real week of your work, that is your answer. If the forms, the workload view, or the integrations pull you back, that is your answer too, and we mean it the same way in both directions. You get direct founder support while you decide.
No credit card, and early members lock in up to 70% off at launch.
