Asana alternative

Your tasks, next to the rest of the work.

ADLR keeps the views teams use Asana for: lists, boards, a calendar and a timeline, with dependencies, automations, forms and workload. Then it adds what Asana leaves to other tools: email on your own domain, team chat, docs, invoices and HR, with Adi, ADLR's built-in AI, in every seat.

$5 per user a month, from the first seat, after 30 days free with no card. Free migration and onboarding included.

A client project's tasks in ADLR's List view, grouped by phase, each with its status, priority, assignee and due date.
A client build in Tasks, List view.

Why teams look beyond Asana

Asana is excellent at planning work. The trouble starts with everything the work touches.

One project, five tabs

With Asana, a client project's tasks are in Asana, its email in Gmail, its chat in Slack and its invoice somewhere else. In ADLR they're parts of one workspace, a click apart.

AI by the request

On Starter and Advanced, Asana's AI Teammates and Asana Dash include 5 requests per user a month, up to 50 for the account. Adi, ADLR's built-in AI, is part of every seat.

Invoices and HR are extra

Asana plans and tracks the work. Email, chat, invoicing and HR are other products to buy and connect. ADLR includes them in the seat.

Built for the way client teams work

Dev shops

A project's chat next to the build

Each project has its own chat beside its tasks, and Tasks has a GitHub view, so a question in chat is one click from the work.

Agencies and services

From the client's email to a paid invoice

Client email on your own domain, the contract they sign and an invoice they can pay by card, all in one workspace.

Remote teams

Stand-ups that keep their notes

A Room keeps a team's meetings, chat and files together, with Adi's minutes when AI is on.

Switching, with help

Bring your Asana projects over from a CSV export. Here is how teams move.

  1. Export from Asana

    Export each project from Asana as a CSV file.

  2. Import it as a board

    In Tasks, Import board reads the CSV. You match its columns to ADLR's, and nothing is created until you press Import.

  3. Book your onboarding call

    Thirty minutes with us, and you leave with a migration plan. Migration help is free.

  4. Keep Asana while you switch

    The two aren't linked, so keep Asana until the last project has moved.

Questions teams ask before switching

Yes. Export a project from Asana as a CSV file, then use Import board in Tasks: you match its columns to ADLR's, and nothing is created until you press Import.

Yes: List, Board, Calendar and Timeline, with task dependencies, sections, custom fields, recurring tasks and board automations. Workload shows each person's hours by week against their capacity.

Your tasks, and everything around them.
