If your team already plans its work in Asana, the 2026 question is less about features than about AI. How much of it comes with the seat, and what does the rest cost? Asana's homepage now calls the product the OS for human-agent teams. Underneath, the core hasn't changed. Tasks still have owners and deadlines. Projects still show as lists, boards or timelines, with goals and portfolios above them. What's new is a set of AI Teammates that do work inside those projects. The pricing changed too, because the seat buys the project tool and AI is mostly paid per request.

Read the AI row carefully. Five requests per user a month sounds reasonable until you see the cap. On Starter and Advanced, an account gets at most 50 included requests a month, however many people it has. A 40-person team on Advanced shares the same 50 requests as a team of ten. Beyond that, Asana charges a flat rate. Prepaid packs cost $0.50 per request and last for the whole contract instead of resetting monthly. Pay as you go costs $0.60 per request, billed monthly with a spending cap you set.
The flat rate is easier to budget than credit tables that vary by model. Asana also doesn't charge for administrative Dash tasks, such as prioritizing your day or analyzing data in your work graph. AI Studio, Asana's builder for AI steps inside workflows, runs on a separate pool of credits per billing account. A team that wants agents doing real work every day should budget for request packs from the start.
AI Teammates are ready-made agents, more than 30 of them, that take on project work. They can plan a launch, prepare enablement material or draft a pricing strategy, and they learn from the workflows they run. Admins get governance controls. Asana Dash is the personal side. It summarizes meetings and email, keeps track of decisions and next steps, and suggests what to do next. Both build on Asana's work graph: the tasks, owners and dependencies teams have been filling in for years. That history is Asana's edge over newer AI-first tools.
The Personal plan works well for a freelancer or a couple running a side project: unlimited tasks and projects, three views, status updates and integrations. It stops at two users and has no timelines or automations. On paid plans, guests are free and unlimited, which keeps client-facing projects cheap compared with tools that charge for every collaborator.
A worked example makes the choice concrete. A 12-person team pays about $132 a month on Starter billed yearly, or $162 on monthly billing. The same team on Advanced pays about $300 a month, billed yearly. Adding 200 prepaid AI requests costs $100, spread over the contract.
Freelancers and pairs can stay on Personal. A small team running client projects gets most of what it needs from Starter. It has timelines to plan launches, automations to route work, forms for requests and free guests for clients. Advanced is for a department juggling several projects at once. Its portfolios and workload views, plus time tracking, show whether the plan is realistic. Enterprise is mainly a security and administration purchase, for companies that need SAML sign-in, automated provisioning and view-only licences for stakeholders.
Monday.com and ClickUp Brain are the closest rivals. ClickUp sells its Brain AI per user with a larger allowance, while Monday prices AI as an account-level credit pool. Linear is the better fit for software teams, and Notion AI for teams whose projects live in documents. Motion is the choice when the problem is scheduling each person's day rather than managing projects.
Asana remains a strong default for cross-functional teams that plan around timelines and dependencies. Its free guests also make it friendly to agencies. Its AI pricing rewards restraint: use the included requests and Dash for summaries, and buy packs only once a specific AI Teammate is saving measurable time.
For one or two people, yes. The Personal plan is free forever for up to two users, with unlimited tasks and projects, list, board and calendar views, unlimited storage at up to 100 MB per file and 100+ integrations, but no AI allowance. Larger teams need Starter at $10.99 per user a month billed yearly.
Starter costs $10.99 per user a month billed yearly or $13.49 monthly, Advanced $24.99 or $30.49, and Enterprise and Enterprise+ are quoted by sales. Guests are free on paid plans, so clients and contractors don't add to the bill.
Paid plans include five AI Teammate and Asana Dash requests per user a month, capped at 50 per account on Starter and Advanced and 250 on Enterprise, plus AI Studio credits per billing account: 50,000 on Starter, 75,000 on Advanced and 200,000 on Enterprise. Extra requests cost $0.50 each in prepaid packs that last the whole contract, or $0.60 each on pay as you go with a monthly cap. Administrative Dash tasks, such as prioritizing your day, are free.
Starter covers project work for a team: timelines and Gantt charts, dashboards, unlimited automations, forms, custom fields and templates, and unlimited guests. Advanced adds portfolios, goals, resource management, approvals and proofing, branching forms, native time tracking and connections to Salesforce, Tableau and Power BI, for teams that manage capacity across several projects.
