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.

Nozbe

Projects, tasks and comments

Work is split into projects that hold tasks, and discussion happens in the comments on each task, where files and documents can be attached.

Priority, Incoming and Activity views

Priority is a list you fill yourself. Incoming gathers today's and overdue tasks, reminders, assignments and mentions. Activity shows changes in the projects you follow.

Calendar and time tracking

Tasks take deadlines and reminders and can be scheduled in a Calendar view. Recording the time needed and time spent on a task requires Premium.

Nozbe AI

Describing a project in a prompt, or importing a CSV file, creates a project with sections, tasks and comments. Free spaces get 3 requests; Premium gets up to 1,000.

Multiple spaces

One account can own or join several spaces, for example for work and private life. Each Premium space is billed on its own; Business covers unlimited spaces.

Integrations and API

Integrations with Google Calendar, Outlook Calendar, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Dropbox, OneDrive, Evernote and Zapier are open to every plan, and there is a REST API.
