- Built for enterprise workflows
- Overkill for small-to-medium teams

- £12/user/month - everything included
- Time tracking built in from day one
- Simple structure: Boards → Tasks
- Built for teams who ship work
- Perfect for 5-50 person teams
Simple. Focused. Affordable.
No enterprise complexity. Just boards, tasks, and time tracking that work.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about switching from Asana to Task Board
Why is Asana so much more expensive?
Asana is built for enterprise teams with complex needs: portfolios, workload management, advanced reporting, goals tracking, and extensive customisation. These features require significant development and support resources. If you need those enterprise capabilities, Asana might be worth it. But most small-to-medium teams don't use 80% of what they're paying for. Task Board focuses on the essentials at a fraction of the cost.
Does Task Board have Asana's project templates?
Task Board doesn't have templates because we've found they often create more work than they save. Instead of spending time customising a template, you can create a board and add tasks in under a minute. Our approach is to make board creation so fast and intuitive that templates become unnecessary. If you do have a repeating project structure, you can duplicate existing boards.
Can I migrate my Asana projects to Task Board?
We don't offer automatic import from Asana, but the simpler structure of Task Board means most teams can recreate their active projects quickly. Many users find the migration is actually a good opportunity to declutter and focus on what's currently important rather than importing years of project history they'll never reference again.
What about Asana's team hierarchy features?
Asana uses a complex hierarchy: Organisations, Teams, Projects, Sections, Tasks, and Subtasks. Task Board simplifies this to Boards and Tasks. You can still organise work by creating multiple boards for different projects or clients. For most teams, this simpler structure is easier to maintain and navigate, without the overhead of managing hierarchies.
Does Task Board have automation like Asana?
Task Board doesn't have built-in automation rules like Asana. We've intentionally kept the product simple. If you need automation, our Zapier integration connects Task Board to 5,000+ apps, giving you flexibility without building complexity into the core product. Most teams find they don't need automation when the core workflow is simple enough.
Is Task Board suitable for larger teams?
Task Board works well for teams of 5-50 people. Beyond that, you might benefit from Asana's enterprise features like advanced permissions, audit logs, and admin controls. But for most growing teams, Task Board provides everything you need at a price that scales sensibly. Our per-user pricing means you're not locked into enterprise minimums.
