Quoted by the vendor
Enterprise is priced through Asana's sales team.
Each button opens Asana, Inc.'s own page in a new tab, where you buy or sign up. Prices are the vendor's, shown in rand.
Asana lists 3 priced plans: Personal at no cost, Starter at R182 /user, Advanced at R413 /user. Every figure is shown in rand, converted from the vendor's own price at the day's reference rate.

Starting prices of the priced products in the same category, cheapest first. This is a price sort, not a ranking: the cheapest product is not the best one, and some are priced per user, some per month and some excluding VAT.
Bar lengths use a square root scale, so a very high price does not flatten the rest. The figures are exact.
The middle starting price of the paid products here is R170.
A dot is one plan. Free plans and plans on request have no price to place. A per user price is the price of one user.
A founding year says how long a company has existed. It says nothing about how good the product is.

Asana is a project and work management tool built around tasks, projects and views. The free plan allows unlimited tasks and projects, list, board and calendar views, file uploads up to 100 megabytes and more than 100 integrations, but only for two users.
The free plan is small, the AI allowance is limited, and the features most teams grow into, such as goals and resource management, sit two tiers up. The page we read mentions no free trial.
Against monday.com, Asana is more task centric and monday.com is more configurable. See the full comparison.
