Asana alternative

The Asana alternative with chat, docs, and video built in

Asana is a strong task manager — but it's only a task manager. Teams using Asana still need Slack for chat, Google Drive for files, Notion or Docs for documents, and Zoom for calls.

Workel covers the same project and task management ground (kanban, list, and calendar views, assignees, priorities, due dates) and builds the rest of the work stack into the same app, so your tasks, conversations, files, and docs stay connected.

Frequently asked questions

Is Workel a good Asana alternative?

Yes — Workel covers Asana's core task and project management (kanban boards, list views, calendar views, assignees, priorities, due dates) and adds built-in chat, file storage, docs, calendar, and video calls, replacing the separate tools Asana teams usually run alongside it.

Can I import my Asana projects into Workel?

Yes. Workel supports importing projects and tasks from Asana, Trello, Jira, and CSV files via an import wizard.

How much does Workel cost compared to Asana?

Workel Pro is $9 per user/month versus Asana Premium at $10.99 per user/month — and because chat, docs, files, and video are included, most teams also drop their Slack, Notion, and Zoom subscriptions.
