Sprint Track vs Asana
Sprints, custom issue types, time tracking, and docs. Everything Asana's plan tiers lock away, ready on Sprint Track from the free tier.
Why teams switch from Asana
What we hear from PM, ops, and engineering leads on every Asana migration call.
Asana has no sprint concept. Running a cycle means stitching sections and custom rules together. Sprint Track ships cycles with velocity and burndown built in.
Time tracking on Asana means installing Toggl, Harvest, or a marketplace clone. Sprint Track tracks billable and non-billable time on every issue out of the box.
Custom fields, rules, portfolios, and reporting unlock on Asana Business at $24.99 per user per month. Sprint Track ships them on the free and Launch tiers.
No GitHub PR sync, no Bug or Story issue types, no burndown charts. Engineering teams keep a second tracker open just to do real work.
Side-by-side comparison

Comparison reflects publicly published features and pricing as of June 2026. Competitor capabilities verified against their own documentation.
Where we are different
The capabilities Asana either skipped, paywalled, or shipped as a third-party add-on.
Built for technical teams too
Bug, Story, and Task as first-class issue types. Cycles with velocity and burndown. GitHub PR status on every card. The engineering surface Asana has avoided for a decade.
Time tracking without extra tools
No Toggl, no Harvest, no Clockify. Click play on any task, mark the entry billable, export the weekly timesheet to CSV when invoicing time comes round.
More for less
Custom fields, automation rules, dashboards, reporting, and guest access ship on Sprint Track Free and Launch. No Business tier upgrade just to get the basics.
One tool for dev and non-dev
Engineering sees the sprint board with PR sync. Product runs the roadmap timeline. Ops drives the list view. Nobody is forced into the wrong shape for their work.
Move from Asana
The Asana importer brings across tasks, custom fields, sections, attachments, and comments. Sections become statuses, projects stay as projects.
Authenticate Sprint Track with your Asana workspace over OAuth. No tokens to copy.
Tasks, sections, custom fields, and projects auto-map to Sprint Track equivalents. Sections become statuses, projects stay as projects.
Run a dry-run preview first to check the mapping. Then kick off the real import. Most Asana workspaces finish in under thirty minutes.
Validate the imported workspace, run both tools in parallel for a week if you want, and cut over when the team is ready.
Asana stays read-only during the import. The whole process can be rolled back per-project at any point. Bring your team across one project at a time if you prefer.
Cost comparison
Asana Advanced plus a third-party time tracker against Sprint Track's bundled AI tier.
Based on published per-seat list pricing as of June 2026. Contracted volume rates vary. Sprint Track pricing reflects the AI tier with everything bundled.
What Asana switchers say
Our PMs and engineers finally use the same tool. Asana never gave the dev team a real sprint board, and our engineers refused to use it. Sprint Track works for both halves of the team.
We were on Asana Advanced for 30 seats. The bill alone justified the switch. The time tracking and burndown charts we got for free were the surprise upgrade.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. The List and Calendar views work exactly like Asana. Non-technical teams keep their familiar shape, technical teams get the board and burndown. Same workspace, different views.
Yes. Gantt is built in and works across projects and modules. Drag to reschedule, link dependencies, and see the full delivery picture without unlocking a higher tier.
Sprint Track Modules cover goal-to-issue linking with progress roll-up to a parent goal. A dedicated Goals surface is on the roadmap.
Yes. Custom fields auto-map by name and type during import. The mapping screen shows everything before you commit, so you can adjust anything ambiguous.
Automation rules need to be recreated in Sprint Track because the rule engines are different shapes. The Sprint Track automation builder is point and click, so most teams rebuild their rule set in an afternoon.
Connect your Asana workspace, pick a project to migrate, and start running cycles in Sprint Track the same afternoon.
