So, how are they different? Let’s look at pricing. Asana and Wrike both use a freemium, tiered model. They allow unlimited third-party collaboration which includes vendors, contractors, freelancers, and third parties to access approved projects for free. Asana is free for up to 15 users with limited functionality.
Wrike is free for up to 5 users with limited features. If you are looking to expand features and functionality, each has a subscription based plan. With Asana you are looking at spending 21 dollars per month for 5 users and 53 dollars per month for 15 users.

To utlize Marketing Automation, Wrike integrates with Hubspot when Asana integrates with MailChimp and Campaign Monitor. On the Sales Side, Wrike integrates with salesforce, whereas Asana integrates with Zapier, which can link Asana’s platform to a number of different SaaS Solutions.
Wrike may seem like it leans more toward integration for enterprise companies, it would be worth mentioning that that both companies offer a flexible API to fit your needs. The last difference we will look at is support. Asana offers email support, FAQs, a knowledge database and troubleshooting videos. Wrikes offers the same mix with the additional phone and live chat support. So Indy, which cup will you choose? Asana’s goal is to get you out of email and puts everything you need to do your job at your fingertips.
