Open Source Alternative to Asana
Asana costs US$10.99 per user monthly. OpenProject is the open-source project suite with Gantt, kanban, and budgets.
What the paid app costs: US$10.99/user/mo
Why switch?
Project management per-seat pricing punishes growing teams. OpenProject gives unlimited users the full suite, timelines, sprints, wikis, on your own server. Growing the team never grows the bill.
