Opaque and sneaky pricing, getting in touch with support is a pain The product itself is decent enough, but the overall experience was terrible. The pricing is intentionally confusing and opaque, and they overcharged me $60 out of the blue. - Website says the starter price is $10.99, but there is no option to get a single seat so the minimum you'll pay is twice that. - The starter plan says it includes unlimited guests so I had team members on the project (who weren't really using the tool, I only needed them on the plan as guests). The first two months I got charged the correct amount, third month I get charged over $100 because they automatically upgraded me to more seats. I didn't ask, approve, or need the upgrade. I contacted customer support and they refused to issue a refund even though I immediately removed the additional people from the list of project members. They site their terms of service which apparently gives them the right to auto-enroll you in a higher plan. - It was difficult to reach customer support since they don't have any live phone or chat service, only a useless and frustrating chatbot. If you're super diligent and don't run into any issues, you'll probably be fine since the product itself is useful (hence the two stars). But I don't like having a product from a company I don't trust that I feel can sneak up charges on me at any moment and then refuse to refund.

I'd rather collaborate with my team via fax than use Asana Where to begin...? How about the fact Asana cost me THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS after I hired one of their incompetent "certified pros" and then proceeded to gaslight me for 6 months, claiming he set up a perfect system? At one point during the tortuous experience emailing back and forth for months, they offered compensation (I think...) and then WITHDREW IT because the guy who offered it left the company! Switching my whole business workflow over to another company has been a hassle but more than worth it - just to avoid paying Asana (a company who makes millions but can't compensate a loyal customer a cent) any more money. Sheesh.

Awful Customer Experience I've spent nearly the past month trying to update our billing information. The "billing owner" left the company, so it's been a pain to get it updated. This was supposed to changed over to me last week, but alas, it did not happen. Now our paid service has been shut down which impacts our day to day operations. I've reached out to their support team several times and they are extremely unhelpful. They keep saying they are escalating it, but I haven't been contacted, there's no phone number. By far the worst customer support I've experienced in all of the vendors I've worked with. We're trying to pay, but it seems you have to jump through multiple hoops to be able to do so.

A great tool for teamwork I have been using Asana for over a year now. It is a convenient tool for teamwork. In marketing, there are always many chaotic and inconsistent tasks, so such a platform helps us to structure our work. The only thing I don't really like are the constant mail notifications that are by default. Every morning you have to clean your mail from dozens of notifications.

Good software, dishonest pricing Good software, but the pricing is borderline misleading. It's advertised at $10 per seat, but in reality, you have to purchase seats in increments. Since we have six employees, we had to pay for ten seats, which is frustrating and leaves a bad taste, especially after spending a week on a free trial. In their community forums a lot of people complain but ASANA answer is bascially "screw you, take it or leave it". We've now purchased it for six people for one year (the lowest plan), and it cost us $1,437, which is $20 per month per person, not $10. If ASANA doesn't prove to be the absolute best software we've ever used with exceptional customer service, we will be switching.
