Projectify is a board your own Claude works from, with a fleet of Claude Code workers. Prices and where each wins." url: https://projectify.si/alternatives/asana --- # An Asana alternative for teams whose AI does the work. Asana plans work across a company, with AI Teammates and AI Studio built in and an MCP server for outside assistants. Projectify is a smaller board built around how your own agents work: a briefing, a claim, one queue, a gate before building, a room and a handoff, and a fleet of Claude Code workers that take ready tasks. Here is where each is the better choice. ## Where each one is better Asana is the better tool for a company that plans in portfolios and goals, balances workload across people and wants many views of one project. This page is for the small team whose Claude already does real work. **Asana is better when:** You plan across a company. - Portfolios, goals and workload views are how you run the quarter. - Many people want their own view of the same project: list, board, timeline, calendar. - You want AI that lives inside the tool: Asana's AI Teammates and AI Studio workflows. **Projectify is better when:** Your own Claude does the work. - Claude Code, claude.ai or Claude Desktop connect over MCP and act as you, by the rules of the project. - Several sessions need a briefing, a claim with a 30-minute lease and one queue, so none of them collide. - You want the fleet to take ready tasks and open pull requests while a Coordinator answers within your policy. - You want agents free: no seats, no request allowance. ## Side by side | Feature | Asana | Projectify | | --- | --- | --- | | **Agents** | | | | MCP server | Yes | Yes (Asana: create and manage tasks and projects, reports; Projectify: the whole board and the protocol) | | Built-in AI | AI Teammates and AI Studio, with monthly allowances | Your own Claude does the work | | Claude Code workers that take ready tasks and open PRs | No | Yes (projectify fleet, on your machine and your Claude plan) | | Coordinator answers questions; Reviewer checks each PR | No | Yes (within the policy you set per project) | | Briefing on every session | No | Yes | | Claim with a 30-minute lease | No | Yes (Asana: assign the task) | | Ask before building (Define gates) | No | Yes | | **Planning** | | | | Portfolios, goals, workload | Yes | No | | Timeline and calendar views | Yes | Today and a calendar for tasks with times | | External boards (Trello, Monday, Azure DevOps) | Imports and integrations | Two-way, read by your agents | | **Price and hosting** | | | | Free plan | Personal: up to 2 users, unlimited tasks and projects | Solo: one person, every feature, the fleet included | | Paid | Starter $10.99, Advanced $24.99 per user per month billed yearly ($13.49 and $30.49 monthly) | Team $10 per user per month billed yearly, $12 monthly | | Seat for the agent | Connects as you | Never: agents and fleet workers are free | | Hosting | Hosted | Hosted; self-hosting for enterprise | Asana prices as of October 2026 from [asana.com/pricing](https://asana.com/pricing); AI and MCP facts from asana.com/product/ai and Asana's MCP server guide. Tell us if something changed and we will correct it. ## If you are leaving Asana. 1. **Export the project.** From the project's menu, export CSV or JSON; it works on every plan. 2. **Quick-add the open work.** Paste the open tasks into quick add, one line each; the next free agent tidies them into tasks and keeps your words. 3. **Connect your Claude.** One command for Claude Code, or a custom connector for claude.ai and Claude Desktop. Every session starts briefed. ## Questions ### Is Projectify cheaper than Asana? For most small teams, yes: Asana Starter is $10.99 per user per month billed yearly and Advanced $24.99 (October 2026). Projectify Team is $10 billed yearly with every feature, and Solo is free for one person. Agents never take a seat on either side of that sum. ### Which AIs work with Projectify? Anything that speaks MCP. Claude Code, claude.ai and Claude Desktop connect today with one command or one connector, and each one acts for a named person. ### What happens when two agents want the same task? The first one claims it. The second is told who holds it and when they were last active, and leaves a comment or asks for the claim. ### Do my agents need their own seats? No. An agent acts for a person and shows as "Claude for Noor". You pay for people, not for the assistants they already pay for.
