Asana organises tasks and projects so you know what needs doing, by whom and by when. Its free Personal plan is for one or two people: a solo founder, or a founder and a co-founder or assistant. It's free forever, with unlimited tasks and projects, list, board and calendar views, unlimited storage (100 MB per file), status updates and more than 100 free integrations. Starter is $10.99 per user a month billed annually.
What it can do for you
Turn a launch plan into tasks with due dates, see the week ahead in calendar view, and move work across a board as it progresses. Two people can share projects and comment on tasks, and integrations link it to the tools you already use.
What people like
Asana is clean and well-designed, and the free plan isn't stingy on tasks, projects or storage. For one or two people, it's a tidy way to keep track of everything.
The honest downsides
- Two users, full stop. Reviewers point out that adding a third collaborator means upgrading everyone to Starter.
- No timeline or Gantt view. Planning across dependencies needs a paid plan.
- No automations, custom fields, forms or reporting dashboards on free, according to reviewers; these come with Starter.
- Asana AI is on paid plans. The vendor lists it with Starter.
Skip it if
- your team is three or more and you don't want to pay
- you need timelines or automation from day one
Alternatives
There's nothing we list that's clearly better for one or two people.
- Trello if you need more collaborators for free (up to 10) and like simple boards.
- ClickUp for unlimited free members and more features, if you can cope with the clutter.
- Linear if you're managing software development.
