Editorial verdict

Strong PM Platform, But US-Centric for AU Users

Asana's paid USD list is unchanged at Starter $10.99 / Advanced $24.99 annual, but the free Personal plan for new accounts is two users, not ten. Timeline, Gantt/dependencies, unlimited automations and unlimited free guests start on Starter. Workload waits until Advanced; org-wide capacity is Enterprise. AU data residency is still an Enterprise+ opt-in, not a Starter feature. GST/VAT can be charged; there is no AUD card.

Best for
Mid-size to enterprise teams that need structured project management with workflow automation, goal tracking, and cross-project reporting. Particularly suited to marketing, operations, and product teams.
Not ideal for
New teams that expected a 10-user free plan, buyers who need AU hosting without Enterprise+, or anyone who needs printed AUD prices and AEST phone support.

Overview

Asana is work management platform for teams and projects. Founded in 2008 and headquartered in San Francisco, CA, USA, it serves Australian businesses.

Feature highlights

These highlights come from vendor documentation and editorial analysis of public sources. They are not firsthand test results or a claim that every listed capability was exercised in a trial.

  • Personal is 2 users for new accounts

    Current free Personal is one or two people. Legacy 10-seat Personal is only for accounts created before 12 November 2025.

  • Timeline/Gantt and unlimited automations on Starter

    Starter prints Timeline and Gantt (task hierarchy) and unlimited automations. Unlimited free guests also start on Starter.

  • Workload is Advanced; capacity is Enterprise

    Portfolio Workload is Advanced. Universal workload and capacity planning are Enterprise, not Starter.

  • USD list; GST/VAT may apply

    Cards are USD. FAQ: tax from billing address; GST-registered numbers can be added at checkout. Not an AUD price list.

  • AU residency is Enterprise+

    Trust page names Australia as a residency option. Pricing treats data residency as Enterprise+ / opt-in. Not on Starter or Advanced.

  • Timesheets add-on $5.99

    Timesheets and Budgets is a separate US$5.99/user/month annual add-on, not included in Starter.

AU Compliance Scores

These scores apply to Australian tax, payroll and banking capabilities where they are relevant to Asana. They are SoftwareHQ editorial judgements from public documentation, not firsthand product tests.

Not applicable means this product type is not scored on that dimension (for example BAS lodgement on a CRM). Not supported means the vendor does not offer it. Unknown means we could not verify it from public sources — that is not the same as unsupported.

BAS LodgementNot applicable

Project management tool. BAS stays in accounting software.

STP Phase 2Not applicable

No native AU payroll.

Payday SuperNot applicable

No payroll.

Modern AwardsNot applicable

No payroll.

GST HandlingNot applicable

Not an invoicing/BAS product. Subscription GST/VAT may still apply at checkout.

Bank FeedsNot applicable

Not a bank-feeds product.

How this review was made

Reviews separate vendor documentation, editorial analysis and firsthand records. They are not interchangeable.

  • Vendor documentation — Public pages from Asana and other sites. Recorded HTTP(S) URLs are listed under Sources. A source URL is a document we recorded, not a claim that every sentence on this page was checked against that URL.
  • Editorial analysis — SoftwareHQ's written verdict and scores for Australian buyers. The header score is an editorial assessment, not a user-review average, not a lab result, and not a number derived from how many evidence records exist.
  • Firsthand records — This review has no firsthand observation records, trial walkthroughs, or screenshots from a logged-in SoftwareHQ account. Missing tests stay not tested.

This page does not rank products by speed or security from documentation or from evidence count.

Checked by SoftwareHQ Editorial Team. There is no named author profile for this page; attribution stays with the SoftwareHQ editorial team. How we test and the editorial policy for scoring, independence and affiliate rules.
