Asana charges $13.49 per user monthly for their Premium plan. TaskLoco costs $9.99 per user monthly for Premium features. Both claim to streamline your workflow, but they solve completely different problems.
Asana built an enterprise-grade project management platform with Gantt charts, custom workflows, and reporting dashboards. TaskLoco built a simpler tool around sticky notes that sync everywhere. The question isn't which is better — it's which matches how your team actually works.
TaskLoco Premium is regularly $9.99/month per person. Right now, charter members can lock in 50% off the regular price — forever. That means $4.99/month per person today. And if our price ever goes up, you still pay half. Always.

Pricing: TaskLoco Costs 26% Less Than Asana
Asana Premium costs $13.49 per user monthly when paid annually ($15.99 monthly). TaskLoco Premium costs $9.99 per person monthly — that's $3.50 less per person every month.
For a 10-person team, you'll pay $1,349 yearly for Asana Premium versus $999 yearly for TaskLoco Premium. That's $350 in savings annually just on subscription costs.
Both require individual subscriptions for each team member. Neither offers volume discounts or flat-rate team pricing. Asana's Basic plan is free for up to 15 users but lacks custom fields, timeline view, and advanced search — features you'll need for serious project work.
Feature Comparison: Simple Notes vs Project Management Platform
Asana built a full project management suite. You get timeline views, custom fields, advanced search, project templates, and reporting dashboards. Teams can create dependencies between tasks, set up approval workflows, and track project progress with visual charts.
TaskLoco built around sticky notes that sync everywhere. You create notes, set reminders, attach files, and share with teammates. No Gantt charts, no custom workflows, no reporting — just tasks and notes that work across your phone, computer, and browser.
If you need project timelines, dependencies, or detailed reporting, Asana wins decisively. If you want simple task tracking without enterprise features, TaskLoco does more with less complexity.
Mobile Experience: Native Apps vs Web Wrapper
TaskLoco ships native iPhone and Android apps that work completely offline. The free Lite version stores 20 notes locally with no account required — perfect for personal use without internet dependency.
Asana's mobile apps are solid but require constant internet connectivity. They're essentially mobile versions of the web interface, which works well for checking project status but feels clunky for quick task entry.
Both apps sync across devices, but TaskLoco's offline capability gives it an edge for field work or unreliable connectivity. Asana's mobile experience works best when you're always connected and need full project visibility on the go.
Team Collaboration: Real-Time Updates vs Project Structure
Asana excels at structured team collaboration. You can assign tasks to specific people, set due dates, create project templates, and track who's responsible for what. The timeline view shows how tasks connect and affect project deadlines.
TaskLoco takes a simpler approach — shared notes with real-time sync and email notifications. Team members can edit the same notes simultaneously, attach files, and get reminded about deadlines. No formal task assignment, no project hierarchy.
Choose Asana if your team needs clear ownership, project tracking, and formal processes. Pick TaskLoco if you want flexible note-sharing without administrative overhead.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is TaskLoco cheaper than Asana?
$9.99/month per person (currently $4.99/month per person for first 500 charter members with code CHARTER50)
Can TaskLoco replace Asana for project management?
TaskLoco works for simple task tracking and note organization, but it can't replace Asana's project management features. Asana has timeline views, task dependencies, custom fields, and advanced reporting that TaskLoco doesn't offer. Choose TaskLoco for simple task management, Asana for complex project coordination.
Does TaskLoco work offline like Asana?
TaskLoco Lite works completely offline with 20 notes stored locally on your device. Asana requires internet connectivity for all features. TaskLoco Premium and Lite Plus+ need internet for syncing, but Lite gives you true offline functionality that Asana doesn't match.
Which has better team collaboration features?
Asana wins for structured team collaboration with formal task assignments, project templates, and approval workflows. TaskLoco offers simpler real-time note sharing with email notifications. Choose Asana for organized project teams, TaskLoco for flexible note-based collaboration.
Do both apps work on mobile?
Both have mobile apps, but TaskLoco's are native iPhone and Android apps that work offline. Asana's mobile apps are solid but require constant internet connectivity. TaskLoco's offline capability makes it better for field work or unreliable connectivity situations.
Can I import my Asana projects into TaskLoco?
TaskLoco doesn't have direct Asana import functionality. Since TaskLoco is note-based rather than project-structured, you'd need to manually recreate your tasks as notes. The transition works best for simple task lists rather than complex project hierarchies.
Which tool is easier to set up and learn?
TaskLoco is much simpler to start using — you can begin creating notes immediately without project setup or user configuration. Asana requires more initial setup with project structure, user roles, and workflow configuration, but provides more powerful features once configured.
