Asana vs Freedcamp

Asana

• Teams coordinating projects across several departments
• Organizations that tie project work to company goals
• Nonprofits and schools that qualify for the 50% discount

Freedcamp

• Small businesses wanting tasks, time tracking, CRM and invoicing in one tool
• Teams working with clients, since read-only and guest users are free on paid plans

Asana

• The free Personal plan is limited to 2 users; timeline and Gantt views, forms and custom fields start on Starter.
• Seats are sold in fixed steps: one at a time from 2 to 5 users, then blocks of 5 up to 30 and blocks of 10 up to 100.
• Portfolios, goals, approvals and built-in time tracking need the Advanced plan at $24.99 per user / month.
• The download page lists Mac, Windows, iOS and Android apps but no Linux app.

Freedcamp

• Gantt chart view, custom fields, custom statuses, Wiki, Issue Tracker, CRM, Invoices+ and reports all need the Business plan.
• The Free plan has no email-in, cloud-drive links, recurring tasks or two-factor authentication, and limits each upload to 10 MB.
• SAML single sign-on and white labeling are Enterprise only, and a private cloud instance costs a fixed extra yearly fee.
• Unlimited storage on every plan is subject to a fair usage policy.

Asana

Project views

Show a project as a list, board, calendar, timeline or Gantt chart. Timeline and Gantt views start on the Starter plan.

Rules and forms

Rules automate routine steps and forms turn incoming requests into tasks. Both start on Starter; form branching needs Advanced.

Goals and portfolios

Goals link projects and tasks to company-level objectives, and portfolios track groups of related projects in one place. Both are part of the Advanced plan.

Workload and resource management

Shows how much work each person has so tasks can be rebalanced. Capacity planning across the organization is an Enterprise feature.

Reporting dashboards

Charts built from live project data to show the state of a team's work, included from the Starter plan.

AI Teammates and AI Studio

AI Studio builds AI-driven workflows from a monthly credit pool: 50K credits on Starter, 75K on Advanced and 200K on Enterprise. Extra AI requests are billed per request.

Freedcamp

Tasks in several views

Tasks can be shown as Kanban cards and columns, with assignees or statuses as the columns. Table view starts on Pro, and the Gantt chart view with dependencies needs Business.

Time tracking

The Time app records how long tasks and issues take, and is one of the core apps on every plan. Multi-level grouping of time records starts on Pro.

Milestones and calendar

Milestones mark key project deadlines, and the calendar collects task and project dates. Calendar sharing is on every plan; Google Calendar sync and recurring events start on Pro.

Issue Tracker and Wiki

The Issue Tracker turns a project into a bug-reporting system, and the Wiki holds long-term project knowledge. Both are available from the Business plan.

CRM and Invoices+

A built-in CRM keeps track of customers and follow-ups, and Invoices+ produces invoices and estimates. Both need the Business plan or above.

Shared password manager

The Passwords app, for sharing credentials securely with a team, is a core app included on every plan, the free one too.
