Asana AI pricing: AI Teammates and Dash costs

AI Teammates and Asana Dash are included in every paid Asana plan. Starter and Advanced come with 5 AI requests per user a month, shared across the account and capped at 50, and Enterprise is capped at 250. Extra requests cost $0.50 each prepaid or $0.60 on demand. The seats themselves are $10.99 per user a month on Starter and $24.99 on Advanced, billed yearly.

The account cap determines how far the included requests go. A 10-person team gets 50 requests a month, and so does a 25-person team. Past ten people, the included pool stops growing, and anything beyond it is billed per request or the AI pauses until the next month.

What AI does Asana include?

Every paid plan gets the same 5 requests per user a month for AI Teammates and Asana Dash. What differs is the ceiling: 50 requests per account on Starter and Advanced, 250 on Enterprise. The free Personal plan has no AI Teammates or Dash. Compare seat prices and included AI on the Asana pricing page:

Asana uses two separate billing units. AI Teammates and Dash share a request pool. AI Studio, Asana's tool for building AI workflows, uses credits granted per billing account rather than per user. Its included tier is called AI Studio Basic and comes with rate limits; Plus and Pro are paid upgrades.

Starter and Advanced get the same request allowance, so moving up a plan buys you no extra AI requests. The reasons to pay for Advanced are portfolios, goals, resource management, approvals and native time tracking, not the AI.

What changed in September 2026?

AI Teammates stopped being a separate purchase. Until September 2026 it was an add-on licence bought through Asana's sales team and assigned to individual users, and it appeared in no plan. Now Starter, Advanced and Enterprise include it, together with Asana Dash, as long as an admin has switched Asana AI on for the organization.

AI Teammates are agents that work on tasks inside Asana projects, and you add them to a task; Asana offers more than 30 ready-made ones. Asana Dash is a personal assistant that summarizes meetings, email and tasks and suggests what to do next. Both draw on the same pool of requests.

The pricing model is one flat price per request instead of a credit table. That makes the bill easier to predict than per-feature credit schemes, but it also means the included allowance is small and the rest is metered.

What counts toward Asana's allowance?

A request is one successful piece of work completed by Dash or an AI Teammate. Failed, timed-out and cancelled tasks are not charged. Under Asana's request rules, Dash can complete more types of work without using a request than AI Teammates can.

• Counted: a task an AI Teammate finishes, a follow-up question after it has finished, and every revision you ask for. A draft plus one round of changes is two requests.
• Counted without a mention: if an AI Teammate is a collaborator on a task and decides a new comment is meant for it, it starts working and uses a request.
• Free in Dash: finding tasks and projects, explaining or summarizing work in Asana, catching you up, prioritizing your day, light edits, creating or updating tasks, building projects and rules, and reading attached files.
• Counted in Dash: complex work such as integrations, web search and long-form writing, and anything Dash hands to an AI Teammate.
• Never counted: adding context while an AI Teammate is working, and short replies like "thanks" or "okay".

A team that mostly asks Dash about its own work will use few requests. Delegating tasks to AI Teammates uses the pool faster, because completed tasks, follow-ups and revisions each count.

How many requests per team?

A 5-person team gets 25 requests a month, a 10-person team gets 50, and a 25-person team also gets 50 because of the account cap. The pool is shared, so one heavy user can spend it for everyone, and unused requests expire at the end of the month.

Seats are also sold in steps. Between 2 and 5 users you add one at a time, but from there up to 30 users seats come in fives. A team of six buys 10 seats, $1,318.80 a year on Starter, which is $18.32 a month for each person who actually uses it.

Five requests a person is a light allowance. If each person on a 10-person team hands an AI Teammate one task a week and asks for one revision, that is about 85 requests a month, already 35 past the pool.

What does extra AI cost?

Every request past the included pool costs $0.50 from a prepaid pack or $0.60 on demand. The examples below add tens of dollars a month for a small team, with higher costs as usage grows. These are sample usage levels; Asana does not publish typical numbers.

Over a year, the last row adds $900 prepaid or $1,080 on demand to a $3,297 Starter bill, more than a quarter on top of the seats. Use a month of measured usage to estimate the extra cost.

Prepaid packs behave differently by billing cycle. On a yearly contract they last for the whole term with no monthly reset, so a pack bought in January can still be used in October. On monthly billing, a pack expires at the end of the month. Asana does not refund unused time on a plan, and the same caution applies to packs: buy them after a month of measured use, not before.

What happens at Asana's limit?

AI Teammates and Dash pause until the pool refreshes next month, unless the account has a prepaid pack or on-demand billing. Requests are taken from the included pool first, then from prepaid packs, then from on-demand billing.

On-demand billing is off until an admin turns it on, and Asana says it never switches itself on. Without it, people see a message that AI usage has run out and can ask their admin for more.

Admins get alerts at 65%, 85% and 100% of the monthly pool, a dashboard of usage by person and by AI Teammate, a monthly spending cap for on-demand billing, and a per-user switch for AI access. Only admins and billing owners can buy more. If one person is spending the team's requests, the per-user switch is the control to use, since the pool has no per-person limit.

When is Asana AI worthwhile?

Asana AI is worth paying for when a team already uses Asana's portfolios and goals and has repeatable tasks to delegate. AI Teammates work inside Asana projects, so they are a closer fit when the work and its context already live there.

• Worth it: teams on Advanced that use portfolios and goals every week, with recurring work such as intake triage, status reports across many projects, or first drafts of briefs that follow the same pattern.
• Worth trying: any paid team, since the first 50 requests a month cost nothing extra. Leave on-demand billing off for the first month and see where the pool runs out.
• Not a reason to buy Asana: a small team that mainly needs tasks, owners and due dates. It pays for seats first and requests second, and 5 requests a person is not enough to change how the team works.

Dash can handle routine questions without using the request pool. Questions about your own work, summaries and catch-ups are free, so a team can get a fair amount from Dash without spending requests at all.

How do competitors bill AI?

Most project tools now combine an included allowance with metered extra use, but the unit differs. Asana charges per completed request at one rate.

Atlassian meters Rovo credits per user with a price per credit, and different actions use different numbers of credits. New monday.com accounts buy a monthly credit bundle with their seats. ClickUp sells Brain as an add-on on top of the plan, and Notion ties its AI credits to the Business and Enterprise plans.

Compare the cost of the same month of work, not the price of one unit. A request that writes a full status report and a credit that answers one chat question are not the same thing. The wider AI tools comparison covers features and fit as well as price.

When is simpler software enough?

If the team mostly needs a shared board with owners, dates and comments, a simpler per-user tool usually costs less, and the AI can come from an assistant the team already pays for. If it depends on portfolios, goals or AI Teammates working inside projects, Asana is the better fit and the request bill is part of the price.

Breeze costs $9 per user per month billed yearly, or $10 billed monthly, with every feature included: boards, lists, a calendar and timeline, time tracking on tasks, task dependencies, automations, forms and reports. Clients join as client users at no charge.

Breeze AI answers questions about your projects inside the app. The Breeze MCP server connects the team's own Claude, ChatGPT or another MCP assistant to its projects. The connection is part of the Breeze plan and Breeze does not charge per AI action; you pay the assistant provider separately.

Through the MCP connection, the assistant can answer what is overdue, turn meeting notes into tasks, assign them, log time, move cards and leave comments, using the connected person's account and permissions. Bulk changes and deletions are previewed and require confirmation. Setup is a connector address and a sign-in, covered in the assistant setup steps.

Take a sample case: a 10-person marketing team that runs campaigns on boards and wants AI mainly to turn call notes into tasks and to ask what is late. On Asana Starter it pays $1,318.80 a year for seats, gets 50 requests a month and pays per request past that. On Breeze it pays $1,080 a year, and people who already have a Claude or ChatGPT subscription use it against the projects with no per-action charge from Breeze.

Breeze has no AI Teammates working in the background, no agent builder like AI Studio, and nothing like Asana's portfolios and goals. Breeze is a project management tool, not a CRM or an ERP. Stay with Asana if your team depends on those features.

If you move, the Asana import brings lists, tasks, descriptions, due dates, assignees, tags, custom fields, comments, subtasks and logged time, but not attached files. You can compare the two tools in more detail or consider other task management options.

Which Asana plan fits?

Pick the plan for the project features you need, then treat AI as a metered extra. The allowance is the same on Starter and Advanced, so AI alone never justifies the upgrade.

• Personal: one or two people who want lists and boards and no AI.
• Starter: teams that need timelines, dashboards, forms and automations, and want to try AI Teammates on the included pool.
• Advanced: teams that live in portfolios, goals and resource management, and are the most likely to get value from AI Teammates.
• Enterprise: larger organizations, mainly for SAML, SCIM and the 250-request pool.
• A per-user tool with your own assistant: small teams that need tasks, owners and dates and would rather not pay per request.

Start with on-demand billing off and measure usage for a month. Compare the requests used with the account's pool, five per person up to 50 (250 on Enterprise), and you will know whether the AI line on the bill is $0 or a real cost.
