ProTasks vs Asana: built for client work, not just projects

Asana is one of the most polished project management tools ever built, and for internal product or marketing teams it's a strong pick. The gap appears the moment clients enter the picture.

The client-work gap

Asana has no concept of a client. There's no branded external view, no feedback inbox, no way to bill for the hours your team logs — because there's no native time tracking at all (it's Advanced-tier only, via integrations for everyone else).

ProTasks treats client work as a first-class citizen:

• Client views — a white-labeled, read-only link per board, with internal columns and fields hidden.
• Client feedback inbox — clients comment on the shared view; feedback lands in your inbox and converts to tasks in one click.
• Time → invoice — timers on every task roll up into reports and one-click invoices.

Pricing reality check

Asana's free tier is generous, but the jump to Starter and then Advanced is steep — and features like forms branching, approvals, and time tracking keep climbing tiers. ProTasks includes forms, automations, time tracking, and client tools on straightforward plans.

Where Asana shines

Asana's goals and portfolio features are excellent for large internal orgs tracking OKRs across dozens of teams. If that's your world, Asana earns its price. If your world is clients, deliverables, and invoices — that's ours.
