Pros & Cons
Pros
- Generous free plan supporting up to 10 users with unlimited tasks and projects
- Australian data residency available on Enterprise+ plan (AWS Sydney) — rare among global PM tools
- Powerful workflow automation builder to reduce manual project management overhead
- Multiple project views including list, board, timeline (Gantt), and calendar
- 200+ integrations including Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Workspace, Jira, and Salesforce
- Strong enterprise security with SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001:2022, HIPAA support, and EKM
- AI-powered features for task summarisation, status updates, and workflow recommendations
- Goals and portfolios provide cross-project strategic alignment (Advanced plan and above)
Cons
- All pricing in USD only — no AUD pricing page, so AU customers face currency conversion costs and exchange rate fluctuations
- Australian data hosting requires Enterprise+ plan (custom pricing) — not available on Starter or Advanced
- Support hours are US Eastern (8am-7pm EST), with limited overlap to AEST business hours — expect delayed responses during AU daytime
- No Australian phone support line or AU-based support team
- Per-user pricing adds up quickly for larger teams — a 20-person team on Advanced costs ~US$500/month (annual billing)
- Seat purchases use tiered increments (5, 10, etc.) rather than exact headcount — you may pay for unused seats
- Single assignee per task limitation may frustrate teams used to multi-assignee tools like monday.com

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Asana offer Australian data hosting?
Yes, but only on the Enterprise+ plan. Enterprise+ customers can choose to store their data in an Australian data centre (AWS Sydney). Standard plans (Personal, Starter, Advanced) host data in the US by default. There is no option to choose AU hosting on lower-tier plans.
Is Asana priced in AUD for Australian customers?
No. Asana prices all plans in USD globally. Australian customers pay in USD and should factor in currency conversion fees and the exchange rate when budgeting. GST may apply on top of the listed USD prices depending on your billing arrangement. As of March 2026, Starter is US$10.99/user/month (annual) and Advanced is US$24.99/user/month (annual).
Can I get phone support from Asana in Australia?
Asana does not offer an Australian phone support line. Support is US-based, operating Monday to Friday 8am–7pm US Eastern Time (roughly 11pm–10am AEST). Paid plan users can escalate issues via the in-app chatbot to a live agent. Phone support is reserved for Enterprise customers only.
How does Asana compare to monday.com for Australian teams?
Asana offers Australian data residency (Enterprise+) while monday.com does not have AU data centres. Asana's Starter plan ($10.99 USD/user/month) is slightly cheaper than monday.com's Basic plan ($12 USD/seat/month). However, monday.com offers more visual customisation and multiple assignees per task. Both price in USD for AU customers.
Is Asana free to use?
Yes. Asana's Personal plan is free forever for up to 10 users. It includes unlimited tasks and projects, list/board/calendar views, basic integrations, and mobile apps. The free plan lacks Timeline (Gantt) views, custom fields, workflow automation, and reporting — you need the Starter plan ($10.99 USD/user/month annual) for those features.
What security certifications does Asana hold?
Asana holds SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001:2022, ISO 27017, ISO 27018, and ISO 27701 certifications. Enterprise+ plans also support HIPAA compliance and enterprise key management (EKM). Security reports are available through Asana's Trust Center at trustcenter.asana.com.
