Why teams look
beyond Asana.

Seats come in blocks.

Above 5 users Asana sells seats in steps of 5, then 10. A team of 7 pays for 10 seats. Asana’s own forum has long threads asking to remove the banding.

The useful parts cost more.

Native time tracking, portfolios and goals are on Advanced at $24.99 per user a month, more than twice Starter.

Meetings happen in another app.

Asana has no built-in video meetings, so teams keep Zoom, Meet or Teams alongside it.

TO BE FAIR

What Asana
does better.

  • Asana has portfolios and goals for running many projects at once. Snappi has dashboards and sprints but no portfolio or goals module.
  • Asana Advanced includes native time tracking. Snappi does not have built-in time tracking yet.

HOW TO MOVE

Three steps.
Keep Asana running meanwhile.

  1. 1

    Export from Asana

    In an Asana project, open the project menu and export it as CSV.

  2. 2

    Import into a Snappi board

    On a Snappi board, open the arrow next to New task and choose Import tasks. Snappi recognises a Asana export and maps the columns for you. Task names, sections (as groups), due dates and notes come across, and tasks with a Completed At date arrive as done.

  3. 3

    Invite your team

    People who edit count toward the package; people who only need to look, like clients, join as free viewers or single-board guests and never count.

  • Start on Free with no card for boards, tasks and messages, and run both tools side by side while you decide. Free takes 7 people, and more at $4 a month each. Meetings, calls, forms and automations start on Starter, which also includes 250 AI credits a month.
  • Pay monthly if you would rather not commit to a year. On a paid package, a month when fewer people than the package’s threshold use Snappi and nobody meets, calls or uses AI costs half (the Quiet-Month Promise, up to 3 times in 12 months).
  • On Team with yearly billing and still locked into another tool? We credit one month of overlap on your next invoice, checked by hand, so you are not paying twice while you move.
  • Cancel any time; your plan runs to the end of the period you paid for.
  • One price for your entire team, with the people included; viewers, board guests and meeting guests are never billed (meeting guests count toward the meeting’s people limit).
  • Every board exports to CSV or Excel whenever you want your data out.

Questions about moving

What comes across from Asana?

Task names, sections (as groups), due dates and notes come across, and tasks with a Completed At date arrive as done. People, comments, attachments and custom fields are not imported; invite your team and add those as you go.

How big an export can I import?

As big as you need. Snappi imports in batches of 500 tasks, one after another, and makes any groups (lists, sections) that do not exist yet.

Do we have to move everyone at once?

No. Start a free Snappi workspace for one team or one project while the rest stay on Asana. Move the next board when you are ready.

What about meetings and chat?

Video meetings with guest links, recording, screen share and a whiteboard, plus 1:1 voice and video calls, start on Starter, so there is nothing extra to buy for them once you are on a paid package. Direct messages are on every plan, Free included. The AI note taker is paid from AI credits (250 a month from Starter) or notes pages, which Free can prepay for.

What if we need help moving?

Write to the Snappi team through the contact page. Agencies in Sri Lanka can ask about the Founding Agency offer, which includes moving one existing system across with you.
