Asana wins if you only need tasks: Starter for 10 people is $109.90 a month, less than Core, and the free Personal plan covers 2 users. Add an invoicing tool to every Asana figure above.
PLYNTUM has no Asana importer. Its CSV import covers clients, employees and expenses; projects and tasks are set up by hand.
