Comparison

Clientia vs. Asana
One workspace,
not four subscriptions.

Asana tracks your delivery work. Clientia handles everything around it — the contract that governs the engagement, the retainer that funds it, the license seats you provision, and the billing that runs itself.

The difference

Why firms choose Clientia over Asana.

Asana knows every task. It doesn't know the contract behind the engagement, the retainer that funds the project, or which client license seats expire next quarter. Clientia does.

Contracts Asana doesn't know about

Asana has no contract module. Your MSA, SOW, and NDA live in a folder somewhere. Clientia's contract module holds the full lifecycle — drafting, clause library, e-signature, obligation tracking, and audit trail — so the work and the agreement that governs it are in the same system.

Retainers that run themselves

Asana has no billing. Most agencies bolt on Stripe, FreshBooks, or Harvest — and those tools know nothing about the Asana project they're funding. In Clientia, a retainer is created from the signed contract. The billing schedule, the seat count, the renewal date — all derived from the source of truth.

License seats with expiry memory

If you sell software licenses alongside services, Asana is the wrong ledger. Clientia tracks every seat — provisioned, suspended, expiry date, which contract it belongs to. No more expiry surprises.

Pricing

Add a person. Their bill grows.
Ours doesn't.

Asana charges per seat for project management only. Add DocuSign, a billing tool, and a client portal to match what Clientia covers — and you have three subscriptions, three logins, and three data models.

Common questions

Switching from Asana.

What firms ask before moving from Asana to Clientia — answered honestly, in plain language.

Does Clientia replace Asana?
No, and it's not trying to. Asana is the right tool for task and project delivery. Clientia handles the client operations layer that sits around the delivery work — contracts, retainers, license seats, billing, and the long client relationship. Most agencies keep both: Asana for delivery, Clientia for the relationship that governs it.
What does Clientia add that Asana doesn't have?
Asana has no contract management, no e-signature, no retainer billing, no client-facing portal, and no license seat tracking. Most agencies running Asana also subscribe to DocuSign, Stripe or FreshBooks, and a portal tool. Clientia consolidates those into one workspace.
Is Clientia an Asana alternative for agencies?
Clientia is a client operations platform, not a project management replacement. If you're looking for a simpler Asana — fewer features, lower cost — there are purpose-built PM tools for that. If you're looking for a platform to manage client contracts, retainers, and billing alongside Asana (or instead of a patchwork of additional tools), Clientia is the answer.
How does Clientia's pricing compare to Asana for an agency team?
Asana Advanced at €26/user/month for a 10-person agency is €260/month — and you still need DocuSign (~€25/mo) and a billing tool (~€50/mo) for full client ops coverage. That's €335/month. Clientia Atelier covers all of it at €119/month, with contracts, retainer billing, and a white-labeled portal included.
