Asana vs Toggl Track

Our Verdict

Asana and Toggl Track are different tool categories — project management vs time tracking — and most consultants use them together rather than choosing between them. Asana manages project delivery: tasks, assignments, deadlines, and multi-project oversight. The free plan (up to 10 users) covers most consulting team needs. Its strength is keeping everyone aligned on what is due and who owns it. Toggl Track manages time data: tracking hours, generating timesheets, and producing reports for billing. The free plan supports up to 5 users with unlimited tracking. Its strength is simple, accurate time capture without friction. For hourly-billing consultants, both tools are essential. Asana tracks what you are working on; Toggl Track tracks how long it takes. Toggl's native Asana integration lets you start timers directly from Asana tasks, connecting the two workflows. For fixed-fee consultants, Asana is the priority (you need to manage deliverables), and time tracking becomes optional — useful for profitability analysis but not revenue-critical. In this case, Asana's built-in time tracking (on paid plans) may be enough, eliminating the need for Toggl entirely.
