Comparison
LiteTracker vs Asana
Asana manages projects. LiteTracker runs agile sprints. If your team works in iterations with story points and velocity, a purpose-built agile tool beats a general-purpose PM tool every time.
Feature by feature
| Asana | LiteTracker | |
|---|---|---|
| Story Points | Custom field — no velocity model | Native Fibonacci points with automatic velocity |
| Velocity Tracking | Not available | Automatic rolling velocity per iteration |
| Sprint Planning | Timeline / workload — not velocity-driven | True agile iterations with velocity targets |
| Accept / Reject | Not available | Full XP accept/reject story workflow |
| Pricing | Per-user, premium features expensive | Free plan + $10/seat/mo Pro — all features, no tier upgrades |
| Pivotal Import | Not available | One-click CSV import of full history |
| Best for | General project management, cross-functional teams | Agile sprint teams, Pivotal-style workflows |
Built for agile — not bolted on
Every feature in LiteTracker exists to make sprints work. No project management bloat — just the agile workflow your team needs.
Velocity-Driven Planning
Automatic rolling velocity after every sprint. Plan future iterations based on what your team actually delivers — not timeline guesswork.
Real Sprint Iterations
Time-boxed sprints with backlog management, velocity targets, and one-click start. Asana's workload view is not an agile sprint.
Fibonacci Story Points
Native Fibonacci estimation on every story, driving your velocity model. In Asana, story points are just a custom field with no velocity logic behind them.
Accept / Reject Workflow
Full XP accept/reject — the step that closes the loop between delivery and acceptance. Asana has task completion, not story acceptance.
Simple Pricing
Asana's advanced features are locked behind pricier tiers. LiteTracker Pro gives your whole team full sprint access at one per-seat price — start free, no card needed.
Pivotal Import
Moving from Pivotal Tracker? Upload your CSV export and bring full project history — stories, epics, labels, and points — in one shot.
What You're Working Around
Asana is task management, not sprint planning
Asana is excellent at tracking tasks and projects — but it wasn't built for agile sprints. Teams using it for sprints end up hacking timelines into iterations, manually counting points, and completely missing the accept/reject workflow that keeps sprint quality high.
| Experience | Asana | LiteTracker |
|---|---|---|
| Sprint planning | Timeline projects — not real sprint iterations | Native sprint iterations, one-click start |
| Cost as team grows | Per-seat Premium — every hire adds to the bill | Free plan available — $10/seat/mo Pro |
| Velocity tracking | No sprint velocity — task completion only | Automatic sprint-by-sprint velocity |
| Story acceptance | No accept/reject workflow | Full Pivotal-style accept/reject |
Monthly Cost as Your Team Grows
Relative to year-one baseline — same work, growing bill
Asana Premium charges per seat and still lacks real sprint velocity — you pay more and get less for agile teams.
The Bill
Per-seat Premium costs scale without sprint value
Asana Premium starts at $13+ per user per month. As your team grows, the cost compounds — while the core sprint gap stays unchanged. Every new engineer adds to the bill with no improvement in how the team plans, measures, or forecasts their sprints.
Purpose-built beats general-purpose
Asana handles projects. LiteTracker handles agile — and the difference shows in every sprint.
Velocity-Driven Planning
LiteTracker automatically calculates rolling velocity from delivered points. Plan future sprints based on how fast your team actually ships — not guesswork.
Real Iterations
Time-boxed sprints with backlog management, velocity targets, and one-click start. Asana's timeline view is not the same as agile iteration planning.
Simple Pricing
Asana's advanced features are locked behind pricier tiers. LiteTracker Pro gives your whole team full sprint access at one per-seat price — start free, no card needed.
The right tool for agile teams
If your team runs sprints, LiteTracker is built for you — not bolted on top of general project management. Free to start.
