What sets us apart
Asana does one job. Spodus does five.
Everything you'd bolt onto Asana, and pay for separately, is already in one Spodus seat.
Asana
The work management tool
- $10.99 per user a month on Starter billed annually, $24.99 on Advanced.
- Projects and tasks only, with no CRM, invoicing, help desk or HR anywhere in it.
- The work about a customer, while the customer themselves lives in a different tool.
- Every teammate is a seat, so the bill rises in a straight line with the team.
Spodus
The whole suite, one seat
- One rate per seat, billed annually, with a five-seat minimum and no packs.
- Five finished products, CRM, finance, HR, support and a shared inbox.
- The customer and the work together, one record carrying the deal, the invoice and the ticket.
- Board, table and calendar views over records that already know what they are.
What the bill is counted by
Ten people, two bills.
Asana Starter is $10.99 per user a month billed annually, so a team of ten is $109.90 before you have bought a CRM, an invoicing tool.
Asana figures are their own published prices as of August 2026.
A Spodus bill has one meter.
- Seats, and only seats: the people you give a login.
- Not contacts, not the customers in your portal, not payroll headcount.
- No packs, no bands. The eleventh person is one more seat.
- One rate covers all five products. A plan sets limits and controls, never which products you get.
The argument
Why teams switch.
Three arguments for moving off Asana, the row-by-row table behind them, and one argument against.
- 01
The customer, not just the task about them
A deal, its invoice and its tickets are one record. In Asana the task references a customer who lives somewhere else entirely.
- 02
One bill instead of five
Asana plus a CRM plus invoicing plus a help desk plus an inbox is five subscriptions. Spodus is one bill with all five inside it.
- 03
One rate per seat, at every size
Ten people on Asana Starter is $109.90 a month. On Spodus the fiftieth seat costs exactly what the first one did.

The honest part
Being fair about it.
Where Asana fits better: it is a far deeper project tool.
Can Spodus replace Asana?
For task and project tracking around customer work, yes: tasks, assignment, due dates, and board, table and calendar views on any record. For complex portfolio management with dependencies and workload balancing, no, and we would rather say so than have you find out in week two.
Can I move my projects across?
Export from Asana and import tasks and projects by CSV or a guided import, mapped onto Spodus records. Anything Spodus does not cover can stay in Asana; the two are not mutually exclusive.
Do external collaborators cost a seat?
No, and to be fair neither do Asana's: they include unlimited free guests. The difference is the paid seats. Asana charges per user; Spodus is per seat at one flat rate, with five products instead of one.
