Asana\u2019s Starter plan for that number of people would cost you $3,297 annually, whereas Plaky\u2019s Pro plan would set you back $1,197 per year.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What\u2019s more, Plaky\u2019s most expensive tier is more affordable than Asana\u2019s cheapest plan, making Plaky a better alternative for cost-conscious teams.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, both Asana and Plaky offer a 2-week free trial, so you can explore each app thoroughly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"container plaky-gradient-bundle pt-5 ps-lg-5 z-0 mb-5  \" >\n    <div class=\"d-flex flex-column flex-lg-row align-items-center justify-content-center justify-content-lg-between gap-1 gap-lg-5\">\n        <div class=\"banner-text text-center text-lg-start text-white\">\n            <span class=\"translation-block lh-1 fs-16 text-white\">\n                Enhance your productivity with the CAKE.com Bundle!            <\/span>\n            <p class=\"translation-block mw-300 fs-12 mb-2\">With the CAKE.com Bundle, you get Enterprise subscriptions for Plaky, Clockify (a time tracking tool), and Pumble (a team communication tool) at a 53% discount!<\/p>\n            <div class=\"cta-btns pt-4 d-flex align-items-center justify-content-center justify-content-lg-start gap-4 mb-4 mb-lg-0\">\n                <a aria-label=\"Sign up\" href=\"https:\/\/cake.com\/try\" class=\"btn rounded py-1 px-2 fs-12 btn-light\">\n                    Sign up                <\/a>\n                                <a aria-label=\"Learn more\" class=\"text-white px-2 fs-12\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/cake.com\/bundle\">\n                    Learn more                <\/a>\n                            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        <picture>\n            <source srcset=\"https:\/\/plaky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/cake-blog\/theme\/images\/banners\/bundle@2x.png 2x\" alt=\"Plaky logo\" media=\"(min-width: 998px)\" \/>\n            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"max-w-350 img-fluid \" src=\"https:\/\/plaky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/cake-blog\/theme\/images\/banners\/bundle.png\" alt=\"Plaky screenshot\" \/>\n        <\/picture>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n    \n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"both-apps-have-neat-uis-but-plakys-more-user-friendly\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Both apps have neat UIs, but Plaky\u2019s more user-friendly<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Asana\u2019s interface has a nice, clean design, offering you a choice between a dark and a light theme. I personally prefer the light one as it makes the warm colors of project icons or status fields easier on the eyes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you create a new project in Asana, you are immediately taken to a template list of Asana\u2019s workflows \u2014 so you don\u2019t have to start your projects from scratch.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if you want to create your own project, like I did, you should know that you can only create subtasks in a task details pane \u2014 an unnecessary complication for such a simple step, if you ask me.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, Asana keeps task status and priority information within a task pane (task card), which I don\u2019t find really practical. I prefer having such data right in front of me, i.e., on the board. Still, you can add these fields by creating them on your own or by choosing them from your organization\u2019s library.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1199\" height=\"684\" src=\"https:\/\/plaky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Example-of-a-task-list-and-a-task-pane-in-Asana-1-min.png\" alt=\"Task pane example in Asana project management software\" class=\"wp-image-14447\" srcset=\"https:\/\/plaky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Example-of-a-task-list-and-a-task-pane-in-Asana-1-min.png 1199w, https:\/\/plaky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Example-of-a-task-list-and-a-task-pane-in-Asana-1-min-526x300.png 526w, https:\/\/plaky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Example-of-a-task-list-and-a-task-pane-in-Asana-1-min-1110x633.png 1110w, https:\/\/plaky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Example-of-a-task-list-and-a-task-pane-in-Asana-1-min-768x438.png 768w, https:\/\/plaky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Example-of-a-task-list-and-a-task-pane-in-Asana-1-min-18x10.png 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1199px) 100vw, 1199px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Example of a task list and a task pane in Asana<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Moving on to Plaky, this tool also has a clean and vibrant design, and you can choose between a light and dark theme, just like you do with Asana. Although Plaky\u2019s colors are vivid, they only add to better visibility of important project details.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I must say I enjoy Plaky\u2019s intuitive, easy navigation, and the accessibility of key features. Plaky\u2019s buttons and icons, situated around the board, clearly show what they\u2019re for, making the user experience much better.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More importantly, in Plaky, you can easily choose a custom field from a dropdown menu that pops up once you click on the + button on the board. In addition, you can create subtasks right on the board, without opening the task card (though there\u2019s a tab for those in the card itself too).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"659\" src=\"https:\/\/plaky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Example-of-a-board-and-a-task-card-in-Plaky-1-1-min.png\" alt=\"Task card example in Plaky project management software\" class=\"wp-image-14448\" srcset=\"https:\/\/plaky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Example-of-a-board-and-a-task-card-in-Plaky-1-1-min.png 1200w, https:\/\/plaky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Example-of-a-board-and-a-task-card-in-Plaky-1-1-min-546x300.png 546w, https:\/\/plaky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Example-of-a-board-and-a-task-card-in-Plaky-1-1-min-1110x610.png 1110w, https:\/\/plaky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Example-of-a-board-and-a-task-card-in-Plaky-1-1-min-768x422.png 768w, https:\/\/plaky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Example-of-a-board-and-a-task-card-in-Plaky-1-1-min-18x10.png 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Example of a board and a task card in Plaky<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group pro-tip\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p>\ud83d\udca1 <strong>PLAKY PRO TIP<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How does Plaky compare to other task and project management tools?

The first is actually the Files view that displays all files attached to a project. I\u2019m not sure how this gallery-like view helps as I\u2019d always go to a task pane first to find the files I need.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the same time, I really like Asana\u2019s built-in messages that allow you to send private, team, and project messages. The idea of sharing messages right in your PM tool is great for project announcements, welcoming new team members, or strategy changes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, I would like for Asana to add a reply option in its task comments sections. I\u2019m not quite sure how large teams manage to follow and understand comments without proper comments threads.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To compare, Plaky has comment replies available, making it much easier to grasp all task updates and changes. What\u2019s more, Plaky lets each team member customize notifications and choose what they want to receive. For example, you can get notified only for items assigned to you, or for those that you\u2019re following. Plus, you can receive notifications right in the app, via email, or in Pumble!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"595\" src=\"https:\/\/plaky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Use-replies-to-keep-your-comments-organized-in-Plaky-min.png\" alt=\"Comments and replies in Plaky project management software\" class=\"wp-image-14452\" srcset=\"https:\/\/plaky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Use-replies-to-keep-your-comments-organized-in-Plaky-min.png 1200w, https:\/\/plaky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Use-replies-to-keep-your-comments-organized-in-Plaky-min-605x300.png 605w, https:\/\/plaky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Use-replies-to-keep-your-comments-organized-in-Plaky-min-1110x550.png 1110w, https:\/\/plaky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Use-replies-to-keep-your-comments-organized-in-Plaky-min-768x381.png 768w, https:\/\/plaky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Use-replies-to-keep-your-comments-organized-in-Plaky-min-18x9.png 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Use replies to keep your comments organized in Plaky<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"container plaky-gradient-landing-1 pt-5 ps-lg-5 z-0 mb-5  \" >\n    <div class=\"d-flex flex-column flex-lg-row align-items-center justify-content-center justify-content-lg-between gap-1 gap-lg-5\">\n        <div class=\"banner-text text-center text-lg-start text-white\">\n            <span class=\"translation-block lh-1 fs-16 text-white\">\n                Free Asana alternative            <\/span>\n            <p class=\"translation-block mw-300 fs-12 mb-2\">Want to avoid potential misunderstandings that can jeopardize your projects?

So, if you are ready to cough up more money, you can count on features such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Goals<\/strong> \u2014 Track personal, team, or company goals, and see how your own work contributes to your team and the entire organization.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Milestones<\/strong> \u2014 Use milestones to identify critical points in your projects.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Reporting dashboards<\/strong> \u2014 Visualize your project data in real time with charts and graphs, and add widgets to display specific information.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Time tracking<\/strong> \u2014 Monitor how much time your team members spend on their tasks and improve your budget planning.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/plaky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Dashboard-view-in-Asana-min.png\" alt=\"Dashboard view in Asana project management software\" class=\"wp-image-14453\" srcset=\"https:\/\/plaky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Dashboard-view-in-Asana-min.png 1200w, https:\/\/plaky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Dashboard-view-in-Asana-min-528x300.png 528w, https:\/\/plaky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Dashboard-view-in-Asana-min-1110x631.png 1110w, https:\/\/plaky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Dashboard-view-in-Asana-min-768x436.png 768w, https:\/\/plaky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Dashboard-view-in-Asana-min-18x10.png 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Dashboard view in Asana <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>But Plaky is also well equipped with various progress-tracking features, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Multiple board views<\/strong> \u2014 Apply different board views (Table, <a href=\"https:\/\/plaky.com\/kanban-tool\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Kanban<\/a>, or <a href=\"https:\/\/plaky.com\/features\/chart-view\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Chart<\/a> on the free plan, and <a href=\"https:\/\/plaky.com\/gantt-chart-software\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Gantt chart view<\/a> on the paid plans) to display the information you need in a way that suits you best.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/plaky.com\/features\/sort-filter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Sort and filter<\/strong><\/a> \u2014 Save time navigating your boards and narrow your focus down to the specifics. For example, you can sort tasks by due date to see which should be completed first. Also, you can use Plaky\u2019s filters to quickly find specific tags, people, or tasks assigned to one of your team members.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/plaky.com\/features\/activity-log\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Activity log<\/strong><\/a> \u2014 Get a real-time record of all project activities for full transparency.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/plaky.com\/features\/summary\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Summary row<\/strong><\/a> \u2014 Aggregate data from multiple fields and get an overview of the number of tasks, total costs, or other key project details.

Still, those come at a hefty price.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1199\" height=\"590\" src=\"https:\/\/plaky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Plakys-Chart-view-is-free-and-ideal-for-deep-data-analysis-min.png\" alt=\"Chart view in Plaky project management software\" class=\"wp-image-14454\" srcset=\"https:\/\/plaky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Plakys-Chart-view-is-free-and-ideal-for-deep-data-analysis-min.png 1199w, https:\/\/plaky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Plakys-Chart-view-is-free-and-ideal-for-deep-data-analysis-min-610x300.png 610w, https:\/\/plaky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Plakys-Chart-view-is-free-and-ideal-for-deep-data-analysis-min-1110x546.png 1110w, https:\/\/plaky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Plakys-Chart-view-is-free-and-ideal-for-deep-data-analysis-min-768x378.png 768w, https:\/\/plaky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Plakys-Chart-view-is-free-and-ideal-for-deep-data-analysis-min-18x9.png 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1199px) 100vw, 1199px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Plaky\u2019s Chart view is free and ideal for deep data analysis<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 id=\"both-plaky-and-asana-offer-great-administration-options\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Both Plaky and Asana offer great administration options&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Asana solves administration matters via its admin console \u2014 a central interface you can use to manage:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>All users and teams,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Permissions,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Authentication settings,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sharing rules, and much more.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You can easily access the admin console via your profile menu in the top-right corner of Asana&#8217;s workspace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With Asana, you can also set up permissions and control who has access to what information. The permissions can be customized for different user roles, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Super Admin<\/strong> (top-level role with full control),<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Admin<\/strong> (has access to the admin console and can manage teams and members),&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Member<\/strong> (default role for users with internal email addresses), and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Guest<\/strong> (a user with an external email address).&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, Asana has different object access levels:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Access levels for goals<\/strong> (editor and viewer) and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Project access levels<\/strong> (admin, editor, commenter, and viewer).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>I guess all these levels and layers come in handy for Asana\u2019s users.
