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.

GoodDay

More than 20 views

Work can be shown as a list, board, table, calendar, timeline, portfolio or whiteboard, among others. Gantt and map views start at the Professional plan.

Unlimited project hierarchy

Projects nest inside one another without a depth limit, and a single task can belong to several projects. Both are included on every plan.

Action Required

Alongside the usual assignee, each task names the team member responsible for the next action, which makes hand-offs and bottlenecks visible.

Time tracking and reports

Time tracking, reports and advanced analytics come with Professional. The Free plan has dashboards and basic analytics only.

Resource planning and finance

The Business plan adds workload and resource management, a finance module, expense tracking and project baselines.

Automations and API

Unlimited automations, recurring tasks and events, webhooks and the GoodDay API are part of Professional, alongside a Zapier connection.
