AllScrum vs Asana

AllScrum vs Asana.
Focused on the sprint, not the portfolio.

Pros and cons

Both tools are good at different things. Here is where each one shines, and where it falls short.

AllScrum

Pros

  • A working board the moment you name a project
  • Sprints, backlog, story points and burndown without configuration
  • Keyboard shortcuts: N to add, Ctrl K to search, hold Ctrl for quick actions
  • Works on phones and offline, with changes syncing when you reconnect
  • Passkeys and two-factor sign-in for every account

Cons

  • No timeline, Gantt chart or long-range planning
  • No time tracking or timesheets
  • No custom fields or custom workflows
  • No app store apps: you install it from the browser
  • No importer or integrations marketplace yet

Asana

Pros

  • Many ways to view work: list, board, calendar, timeline and Gantt
  • Goals, portfolios and reporting for managers
  • Forms, rules and approvals to automate requests
  • Suits marketing, operations and other non-software teams

Cons

  • No built-in sprint planning, story points or burndown
  • Free plan is limited to 2 users
  • Timeline, custom fields and reporting need a paid plan

Which one should you pick?

Choose Asana if

You coordinate many projects across departments, need timelines and portfolios, or want forms and approvals for incoming work.

Choose AllScrum if

Your team works in sprints and wants sprint planning, story points and a burndown on a fast, keyboard-friendly board.

Not sure? The board on the home page is a live demo. Drag a few cards, try the shortcuts and see if it feels right, no account needed.

Switching from Asana

There is no automatic importer yet, but moving a team over takes minutes:

  1. Create a project and rename the lanes to match your current columns or lists.
  2. Paste your task titles into a lane’s “Add task” field. Every line becomes a task, up to 100 at a time.
  3. Invite your team by email, or share the whole workspace with a team at once.
  4. Plan the first sprint from the backlog, or simply start moving cards.

FAQ

Questions

Is AllScrum a good Asana alternative?

For a team that works in sprints, yes: AllScrum has sprint planning, a backlog, story points and a burndown built in. For portfolios, goals, timelines and cross-department planning, Asana covers more.

Can I import my Asana tasks into AllScrum?

Not automatically yet. Create a project and paste a list of task titles into a lane: every line becomes a task (up to 100 at a time).

Does AllScrum have a timeline or Gantt view?

No. AllScrum focuses on the board, sprints and backlog. If you plan with timelines, Asana is the better fit.

Is AllScrum free?

Yes, creating an account is free, and your first project is one click away.

Less talk. More done.

Create an account, name a project and drag the first card.
