Which Asana plan do you need for Gantt charts, portfolios, and goals?
Summary
Starter includes Gantt and timeline views. Advanced is needed for portfolios and Goals. On annual billing their US prices are $10.99 and $24.99 per seat per month; an eight-person team must budget for a 10-seat subscription, not eight individual seats.
A schedule and a portfolio answer different questions
A list shows who owns each task; a board groups tasks by stage; a calendar shows their dates. These views are available on Personal. Timeline and Gantt add a view of the sequence and overlap of work, which is useful when a launch depends on design finishing before production starts.
Switching views does not create another set of tasks. Contributors can update the list while the project lead reads the same work as a schedule. Asana’s project views guide explains how the views work.
A portfolio groups several projects. Goals connects day-to-day work with broader objectives. These Advanced features suit a manager who needs to follow several launches or check which projects support a quarterly target. Buying Advanced solely to draw one project’s Gantt chart adds a cost that Starter avoids.
The price of moving eight people to Advanced
The pricing page sells two to five seats individually, then seats in blocks of five up to 30. Eight internal members therefore need 10 seats. The following US-dollar example excludes tax and assumes annual payment for the same team on either plan.
| Plan | Annual payment | What the difference buys |
|---|---|---|
| Starter | $10.99 × 10 × 12 = $1,318.80 | Gantt and timeline for individual projects |
| Advanced | $24.99 × 10 × 12 = $2,998.80 | Portfolios, Goals, approvals, proofing and native time tracking |
The annual difference is ($24.99 − $10.99) × 10 × 12 = $1,680. The quoted monthly equivalents are not the amount paid each month under annual billing. The listed monthly-billing rates are $13.49 and $30.49 per seat, or $134.90 and $304.90 for 10 seats per month. Contract length and payment frequency should be read separately on the order.
Choose around the work you need to see
For a project schedule, start with Starter. For a view across related projects or progress against company goals, consider Advanced and price the whole paid team. If one or two people only need task lists, boards and a calendar, Personal may cover the work without a paid schedule view.
