What does Asana cost for 5, 8, 10, 15 and 25 people?

Asana charges a flat amount per user per month, so the bill is the headcount multiplied by the plan price; the table below does that multiplication for the team sizes people most often ask about. Prices are from asana.com/pricing, checked November 2026. Prices change; check the official pricing page before deciding.

All figures are per month before tax. Annual billing is charged up front: $1,055.04 for 8 people on Starter, $2,399.04 on Advanced. Monthly billing costs about 23 percent more over a year but lets you drop seats when someone leaves.

What is included in Asana Starter and Advanced?

Starter is the plan most 8-person teams end up on: it adds timeline, workflow builder, dashboards, forms and custom fields to the free plan. Advanced adds goals, portfolios, workload, approvals, time tracking and a larger monthly rules budget.

• Personal (free, up to 10 people): list, board and calendar views, unlimited tasks. No timeline, custom fields, forms or rules.
• Starter: timeline and Gantt, custom fields, forms, workflow builder, dashboards, private projects, admin console.
• Advanced: portfolios, goals, workload, approvals, time tracking, advanced reporting.
• Enterprise: custom pricing, SSO and SAML, premium support.

For an 8-person team the question is whether portfolios and workload are worth an extra $112 per month. If you run one or two projects at a time, they rarely are.

Why does Asana have a 2-seat minimum?

Asana sells paid plans in a minimum of 2 seats, so a solo user on Starter pays $21.98 per month, not $10.99. For 8 people the minimum changes nothing, but it matters if you hoped to pay for the two people who manage projects and leave the other six on the free tier.

That split does not work. Asana bills per member of the paid team or division; once you upgrade a team, every member of it is a paid seat [VERIFY: Asana billing rule for mixed free/paid members].

What are the hidden costs of Asana for a small team?

The main hidden cost is that anyone who needs to edit a task is a full-price seat, whether they are a founder, an intern working two days a week, or a client who wants to tick off their own review step. The only free role is a guest with limited access, and guests must be outside your email domain.

Three cases that catch 8-person teams:

1. The contractor. A freelance designer on a six-week project is a ninth seat at $10.99 or $24.99 for the whole billing period. On annual billing you pay until renewal unless you reassign the seat.
2. The client. A client on a different email domain can be a guest and comment on projects they are invited to. The moment they need to create tasks across the project, they need a seat.
3. Staying on Personal. The free plan handles 10 people, which sounds right for 8. But without custom fields there is no priority or type on a task, without forms there is no intake, and without timeline there is no planning view. The jump is straight to $87.92 per month.

The deeper issue is structural: an 8-person team pays 8 times the price of 1 person for the same board and the same features. That is the subject of the pillar article in this cluster, why per-seat pricing punishes small teams.

What are the cheaper options for 8 people?

For 8 people, Trello Standard costs $40 per month, ClickUp Unlimited $56, and Moxboard Team 10 €25 (annual billing for the per-user tools, checked November 2026); each of them costs less than Asana Starter and all three do less than Asana Advanced. Moxboard is a simple kanban board for small teams, with one price per workspace, set by team size, instead of per-user billing, and every feature on every plan.

Trello Standard and Moxboard are honest trade-downs: a board, cards, labels, checklists and due dates. Moxboard also includes Timeline, a Dashboard per project and Reports across projects on every plan; on Trello, Timeline and Dashboard are Premium, at $80 a month for 8 people. ClickUp Unlimited is closer to a like-for-like replacement for Asana Advanced, paid in configuration time rather than dollars.

Moxboard's price works differently. It is one price per workspace, set by team size, with every feature included: free up to 2 members, €15 per month up to 5, €25 up to 10, €45 up to 20, €100 up to 50 and €175 up to 100. Guests are free, read-only and do not count (what counts as a member), so a team of 8 with two clients watching their boards pays €25, not €25 plus two seats. The mechanics are in what is per-workspace pricing, the plans on /pricing, and the trade-offs against Asana in Moxboard vs Asana.
