Frequently asked questions

What are the features that make 5day.io the best alternative to Asana?

A good work experience is created with multiple small features. 5day.io is home to small but powerful features that make your everyday work life less frustrating. For example:

You cannot assign the same task to multiple people in Asana. On paper, it’s not that bad. But when you want to execute a task that needs a copywriter, designer, and an editor to work on it, it can be frustrating to create multiple tasks every single time. With 5day.io, this becomes easy.

Privacy is at the center of any business. A necessary feature like custom roles and permissions is only available to enterprise customers with Asana. At 5day.io, you can get all the premium features in just one plan.

In Asana, something as fundamental as a start date is a paid feature. It is a building block of every task. 5day.io has that feature for everyone, regardless of the plan.

Can I set up 5day.io to work for different departments in my company?

Yes, 5day.io is a sector agnostic tool similar to Asana. It is built by keeping in mind all the different teams within a company. You can run your entire operation, from IT to HR, within our platform.
