OpsLink vs Asana
OpsLink is an Asana alternative with built-in CRM, HR, payroll, client portals, and Aria voice AI — one platform replaces your entire tool stack.
Project management plus CRM, HR, payroll, and more - all in one platform.
Quick Answer: Asana is great for task management. OpsLink is built for operations teams that manage projects AND clients AND invoices AND HR together. If your team tracks projects in Asana, CRM in another tool, invoices in a spreadsheet, and payroll with an accountant, you're managing 4+ databases manually. OpsLink connects all of that in one platform. Try it free for 14 days — you'll know in hours if it's the right fit.

Why Choose OpsLink Over Asana?
Asana Is a Task Manager; OpsLink Is Your Business OS
Asana tracks what your team does. OpsLink tracks everything: projects, clients, invoices, payroll, fleet, HR—one database, zero syncing.
Aria Qualifies Leads from Your Website
Asana has no lead qualification. Aria books appointments automatically while your team delivers. CRM is built in, not bolted on.
Stop Paying for Tools That Don't Talk to Each Other
Asana + CRM + invoicing + payroll = 5 databases with manual reconciliation. OpsLink = 1 platform with automatic data flow.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Asana really costing you when you factor in CRM, invoicing, and HR?
Asana Basic is $12-25/user/month. But you still need: CRM ($50/user), invoicing ($50-300/month), time tracking ($500-1,000/month), HR/payroll ($300-2,000/month), and fleet management if applicable. That's $500-3,000/month total. OpsLink is $49-149/user/month, all-in.
Why would we switch from Asana to OpsLink?
Asana is excellent for task management. But if your business also juggles clients, invoicing, HR, operations, and sales, you're managing 5+ databases with manual reconciliation. OpsLink connects projects → clients → invoices → accounting → HR in one platform. No syncing, no data silos, no lost information.
Does OpsLink have all of Asana's project management features?
Yes. OpsLink includes kanban boards, Gantt charts, timelines, task dependencies, team collaboration, workload management, and custom fields. It's simpler to set up than Asana but handles the same workflows — and ties directly to clients, billing, and payroll.
Can we migrate from Asana to OpsLink?
Yes, we provide free migration assistance to import your projects, tasks, timelines, files, and team assignments from Asana to OpsLink.
Does Aria (our voice AI) work with Asana?
Aria is an OpsLink feature. It qualifies leads from your website and books appointments automatically without leaving your CRM. If you keep Asana for projects, you lose Aria — and you still need a separate CRM tool anyway.
What if we love Asana for projects but need operations tools?
You can keep Asana. But you'll manage projects there, CRM elsewhere, invoicing elsewhere, and payroll elsewhere — four databases that never sync. OpsLink is built for operation-driven businesses: projects, clients, invoicing, HR, and fleet in one place. One database, one source of truth, less mental overhead.
