Instagantt Works With Asana, Not Instead of It
Instagantt connects to your Asana workspace and shows your Asana projects as Gantt charts. Changes sync in both directions: move a bar in Instagantt and the task's dates update in Asana; reassign a task in Asana and the chart updates. Your team keeps using Asana for day-to-day task management.
Asana has its own Gantt view on its Starter plan and above, so the real question is whether that view covers what you need.
When Asana's Own Gantt View Is Enough
On Starter, Asana's Gantt view includes dependencies, milestones and one baseline per project. Critical path and workload management require Advanced, at $30.49 per user per month, or $24.99 billed yearly. If your team is on Starter and does not need critical path, Asana's view may be all you need.
Instagantt adds value in three cases: your team is on Asana's free Personal plan, which has no Gantt view; you need critical path without upgrading everyone to Advanced; or you want to share a read-only Gantt chart with clients, since Asana's read-only links do not cover the Gantt view.
Cost for an Asana Team
Asana is priced per user across the whole team. Moving a team of 10 from Starter to Advanced to get critical path costs $140 more per month, billed yearly.
Instagantt is priced separately: free on up to three Asana projects, $12 per month for a single user, or $24 per month for three collaborators, plus $8 per extra collaborator. Instagantt seats are only needed for the people who work on the Gantt chart; the changes they make sync to Asana for everyone else.
Our Verdict
If your team is on Asana Starter or Advanced and happy with Asana's Gantt view, you may not need anything else. Instagantt is worth adding if you are on Asana's free plan, need critical path without upgrading everyone, or want to share Gantt charts with people outside Asana.
