What kind of Asana alternative is it

Asana is a work management platform for planning and tracking tasks and projects. Hub for Teams is a collaboration suite from Liberation Technology Services, a US-based company. As an Asana alternative, its Teams+ plan includes a Project Manager for tracking work, plus team chat and custom workflows, in the same workspace as your files and email.

A Project Manager for large and small projects.

Why people look for a Asana alternative

People look for an Asana alternative when the tool has grown larger than the team needs. A small team wants a shared list of work, a clear owner for each item and a way to see what is slipping. Everything else is a bonus.

A second reason is tool overlap. Chat, files, video and tasks often come from four vendors, each duplicating part of the others. A suite that keeps them together means fewer logins and less to explain.

A third reason is price per seat. Per-user pricing adds up quickly across a whole team, so a plan that includes more is easier to budget.

What project management software should do for a small team

Good project management software answers three questions without a meeting: who owns this, when is it due, and where did we talk about it? A small team does not need every feature of an enterprise tool.

The test is simple: will your team open it on a busy Tuesday? If not, the feature list does not matter.

Keep conversations next to the work

Decisions get lost when they live in a chat thread while the task lives somewhere else. Hub for Teams puts chat, files and the Project Manager in one workspace.

That makes it easier for a new person to see what happened and why.

Permissions and file editing

Custom permissions let you control who can see and change what, which matters when clients or contractors join a project. File editing in the workspace saves a round trip to another tool.

Analytics show where work is stuck, so you can act before a deadline slips.

What your team can do in one workspace

Hub for Teams brings the daily tools of a small team together:

Plan projects and assign tasks with owners and due dates.. Chat about work next to the tasks.. Share and edit files without leaving the workspace.. Build custom workflows for repeat processes.. Add email, calendar and video on higher plans.. You can start with Teams+ and move up if you need video conferencing or more storage.

Works with what you already have

Hub for Teams works in the browser and fits teams that already use our business email and hosting. You do not need to be a Liberation hosting customer to use it.

If you also want meetings, our video conferencing is part of the Teams+ Talk plan.

Moving from Asana to Hub for Teams Project Manager

Switching is easier if you start small. Export your tasks from Asana, recreate your main projects in Hub, run both for a short overlap, and then retire the old tool once your team is comfortable.

Choose one pilot project first, so the team learns the tool on real work. If you would like help, our team can help structure your projects.

Who a Asana alternative is built for

Based on the organizations we serve:

Small businesses with a team of 3 to 50. Churches, schools and nonprofits. Professional services firms. Agencies running client projects. Independent media teams. Teams that want chat, files and tasks from one vendor. If your team spends more time managing the tool than the work, a simpler suite is worth a trial.

What it costs and how to get started

The Teams+ plan, which includes the Project Manager, team chat and custom workflows, is $9.75 per user per month. Other Hub plans start at $7.49 per user per month, and Teams+ Talk, with video conferencing, is $14.95.

To get started, begin the 30-day free trial from our project management page. You can test it on a real project before you pay.

Is a Asana alternative right for you

Choose Hub for Teams if you want a simple project manager with chat and files, a US-based vendor and a free trial. Stay with Asana if you depend on its advanced features or integrations and the cost is justified.

Either way, test any tool on a real project with your real team. A good Asana alternative should make that easy, and our team will tell you honestly whether we fit.
