The Asana alternative
that runs the rest of your stack

Asana is a genuinely good project manager — and that's all it is. ADLR keeps the views you came for (board, list, calendar, timeline, dependencies, recurring tasks, automations, time tracking) and adds email, team chat, docs, HRMS, finance and an AI that turns a client brief into tasks. One workspace instead of ten tabs — free for teams up to 5.

Why teams look for an Asana alternative

🧩 Projects live in a silo

Asana manages tasks beautifully, but your email is in Gmail, chat is in Slack, docs are in Notion and invoices are in QuickBooks. ADLR puts all of it behind one login and one search.

🤖 AI that only sees Asana

Asana's AI works inside Asana. ADLR's AI is workspace-aware across email, projects, chat, docs, calendar, HR and finance — so it has the full picture when it drafts a reply or builds a plan.

📥 Tasks get re-typed by hand

A client brief lands in your inbox and someone copies it into tasks. In ADLR you paste the brief and the AI extracts the tasks and builds the timeline for you.

🧱 Stacking tools as you grow

Adding HR, invoicing and a CRM means more subscriptions and more context-switching. ADLR ships HRMS, finance and a CRM in the same workspace as your projects.

Asana plan limits and features are as commonly published and may change — check asana.com for current terms. Asana's dedicated project-management workflows, template library and reporting are mature and a genuine strength.

Switching from Asana is mostly copy-paste

Recreate a project in minutes — or paste the client brief and let the AI build the board for you. Your tasks keep board, list, calendar and timeline views, dependencies and assignees, and from day one they sit next to the inbox they came from, the chat where the team coordinates, and the invoice you'll send when the work ships. For dev shops, connect GitHub and your projects line up with Open PRs, CI build health and assigned issues on the dashboard.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a free Asana alternative for small teams?

Yes. ADLR is free for teams of up to 5 seats with everything included — board, list, calendar and timeline views, task dependencies, recurring tasks, automations and time tracking, plus email, chat, docs and invoicing. Pricing for larger teams is custom; contact sales.

Does ADLR have the same project views as Asana?

Yes. ADLR projects support Board (Kanban), List, Calendar and Timeline views with drag-and-drop, plus task dependencies, due dates, priorities, custom fields, recurring tasks and per-board automations — the surface most teams use Asana for.

What does ADLR add that Asana doesn't?

ADLR bundles what Asana leaves to other tools: custom-domain email, real-time chat, docs, calendar, HRMS, finance/invoicing, a credentials vault and a CRM — all sharing one data model and one AI layer.

Can ADLR turn a client brief or email into tasks?

Yes. Paste a client brief or email and the AI extracts the tasks and builds a timeline. The same AI is workspace-aware across email, projects, chat, docs, calendar, HR and finance.

Is ADLR good for dev shops and software teams?

Yes — it's the primary wedge. ADLR connects to GitHub and surfaces Open PRs, live CI build health from GitHub Actions and assigned issues, with dashboard cards like Active Builds and Specs Delivered.

How does ADLR pricing compare to Asana?

ADLR is free for teams of up to 5 seats with every feature included — no per-feature tiers. Pricing for larger teams is custom; contact sales.
