4myprojects: the Asana alternative for teams
Updated 10 June 2026
Short answer
A good alternative to Asana is 4myprojects: it brings real FS/SS/FF/SF Gantt dependencies and native time tracking — exactly what Asana offers only partially or via an external tool. At $5/user/month you also get sprint planning, AI prioritization and self-hosted in the EU with GDPR by default. For technical teams that want rigorous planning, not just task lists, it is a more complete replacement.
Why 4myprojects as a Asana alternative
- Real FS/SS/FF/SF Gantt dependencies — Asana offers Timeline only on higher plans and more limited.
- Native time tracking included — Asana has no native time tracking; it relies on external integration (Harvest etc.).
- Sprint planning and prioritized backlog included, for agile technical teams.
- Self-hosted in the EU + GDPR by default — Asana is cloud SaaS, with no self-hosted option.
- Price $5/user vs. Asana entry at $10.99, with more capabilities in plan.

When Asana stays the right choice
Asana remains the right choice for certain teams:
- Marketing and operations teams, non-technical, that prioritize a very friendly UI and simple task workflows.
- Organizations that lean heavily on Asana automations (Rules) and its marketing integrations library.
- Teams that do not need rigorous Gantt planning or time tracking and prefer a minimal learning curve.
