Todo4you vs Asana

A faster, more focused alternative for teams that work in tickets, not tasks.

Why teams move from Asana to Todo4you

Asana excels at marketing and operations workflows, but engineering-heavy teams often find its task model awkward and its boards slow at scale. Todo4you is purpose-built around tickets, statuses, and engineering integrations, with a real-time board that stays fast.

  • Engineering-first integrations: GitHub, GitLab, Gitea, Bitbucket, Slack, Telegram.

  • EU hosting (Germany) and GDPR-compliant by default.
  • One simple plan with predictable user packs - no per-seat surprises.

When Asana is still the right choice

Stay with Asana if your work is mostly project portfolios, goals, and cross-functional planning rather than ticket-driven engineering work.

Frequently asked questions

Is Todo4you cheaper than Asana?

Yes for most small teams. Todo4you is one flat €9.99/month plan that includes 3 users, with packs of 5 extra users for €7.50/month per pack. Asana typically charges per seat with multiple plan tiers and paid add-ons for time tracking, automations or AI - costs that add up quickly past 3-5 users.

Can I migrate my data from Asana?

Yes. Todo4you has built-in importers for Jira, Trello, Asana, Pivotal Tracker, Zoho Projects, Zendesk and a generic CSV importer that covers most other tools, including Asana. The import preserves stories, statuses, owners, labels, comments and timestamps, and runs in under a minute for projects of a few thousand items.

Does Todo4you include time tracking and AI features?

Yes, both are included in the standard €9.99 plan with no add-ons. Time tracking has start/stop/pause timers, manual entries and per-user breakdowns. AI features include email-to-ticket (drop in an .eml and get a structured ticket), ticket summarization, translation and standup digests.

Where is my data stored compared to Asana?

Todo4you hosts all data in Germany (EU) and is GDPR-compliant by default - not as a paid Enterprise upgrade. Asana often defaults to US hosting and only offers EU residency on higher-tier plans, if at all.

How long does it take to switch from Asana?

Most small teams move from Asana to Todo4you in an afternoon. Export from your current tool, run the importer, map your statuses, and your team can keep working on the same tickets the next morning. The 15-day free trial gives you time to migrate without committing.
