Asana is the incumbent in many of the teams that move to Planner.day, so this page sets the two side by side on what a team actually decides on: the cost, what an assistant can do with it, and where customer feedback ends up.
Where the two differ
Two things decide most of these evaluations: what an AI assistant can do with the workspace, and where customer feedback ends up.
An MCP server with 43 tools on Basic and above, so Claude or any MCP client can create tasks, change status, assign work and read analytics directly, under the same permission checks as the web interface and capped to the scopes and workspaces you allow.
And a customer feedback loop in the same subscription that runs end to end: an embeddable widget in your own product, a triage queue where approving a submission creates a task, and an automatic email to every linked reporter when that task ships, including everyone whose duplicate was merged in.
Price
Asana Starter is $10.99 per user per month billed yearly, roughly ₹1,040 converted. Planner.day Basic is ₹500, and Pro is ₹1,000. Pro is the full product, including the MCP server, workflow automation, the feedback widget, the public roadmap, whiteboards with AI diagrams, time tracking, dashboards and per-person analytics. Asana Advanced is $24.99, about ₹2,370.
So the whole of Planner.day costs roughly what Asana charges for its entry tier, and well under half of Asana Advanced. For an Indian buyer there is also no forex markup and a domestic GST invoice rather than a dollar charge that moves with the rupee.
What Planner.day gives you
An AI assistant that can genuinely operate the workspace, through 43 MCP tools, scoped per token and capped to the workspaces that token is allowed to touch. And the customer loop: widget, triage, public voting roadmap, and an automatic email to every linked reporter when the work ships.
