Before you replace Asana, ask these five

  1. What does the full product cost?

    Pro is ₹1,000 per user per month and includes the MCP server, workflow automation, the feedback widget, the public roadmap, whiteboards, time tracking, dashboards and per-person analytics.

  2. What exactly can your AI assistant do, and under whose permissions?

    The MCP server has 43 tools covering tasks, projects, people, sprints, comments and chat. Every token is limited to its scopes and to the workspaces you allow, and every call runs the same permission checks as the web interface.

  3. Where does customer feedback go?

    An embeddable widget in your own product feeds a triage queue. Approving a submission creates a task, and every linked reporter is emailed when it ships, including merged duplicates.

  4. Is time tracking on the plan you will buy?

    Time tracking is built in: start a timer or log time, mark it billable, and see it measured against the estimate.

  5. Will the invoice match your books?

    Prices are set in rupees with a GST invoice, so there is no forex markup and the amount does not move with the exchange rate.
