Spedy vs. Asana
Asana is project management for every team. Spedy is project management for software teams — with a built-in AI coding agent and GDPR hosting in Germany.
The verdict
Asana is excellent for marketing, operations, and cross-functional teams — friendly UX, many templates, broad adoption. But if your team builds software, Asana isn't a strong fit: no first-class Git integration, no sprint mechanics, no coding agent. Spedy is engineering-first, with wiki and time tracking built in. If your team consists of developers, switch. If your team is designers, sales, and operations, stay with Asana.
Where each tool wins
Both products are good. They just play in different leagues, depending on your region, stack philosophy, and workflow.
Spedy is strong when …
- Engineering-first: Git/PR integration, pipeline view, issue tracking
- AI coding agent included — a real differentiator
- GDPR-native, EU hosting, DPA included by default
- EUR pricing, no USD exchange-rate risk
- Wiki + time tracking built in (third-party in Asana)
Asana is strong when …
- Best UX on the market for non-technical teams
- Massive template library (marketing, OKRs, events, HR)
- Goals & OKR tracking as a first-class feature
- Workflows + forms for cross-functional processes
- Premium reporting (dashboards, portfolios, workload)
How to choose
Pick Spedy if:
- Your team builds software (5-50 developers)
- You need Git integration + a coding agent inside your PM
- EU/DACH with GDPR requirements
- You want fewer tools, more bundled
Pick Asana if:
- Your team is non-technical (marketing, ops, sales)
- OKR/Goals tracking is central to your org
- You need a wide template library for many use cases
- Your team is global, not DACH-centric

Frequently asked questions
- Can Spedy manage marketing projects too?
- Yes — boards and tickets are generic enough. But Spedy’s strength is engineering. If your team is primarily marketing, Asana is probably better. Spedy makes sense when your team builds software AND wants to manage some marketing in the same tool.
- Does Spedy have OKR tracking like Asana Goals?
- Spedy has no dedicated Goals feature. You can recreate OKRs with wiki pages + releases + custom fields, but Asana Goals is more specialized for that use case. If OKRs are central to your org, Asana is ahead here.
- How does Spedy replace Asana’s workflow builder?
- Spedy has an automations engine (status transitions, assignments, webhooks). For classic software workflows (ticket → in progress → review → done with auto-assignments), this is enough. For complex cross-functional approval chains à la Asana Advanced, it’s less mature.
- Can we migrate from Asana?
- Yes. Migration is currently a manual process: Asana provides per-project CSV export, and we recreate tickets in Spedy via script/API. A dedicated importer is planned. Custom fields and goals may need to be remodeled. For teams of 10+ users we handle the migration at no cost.
- How does the cost compare?
- On the free tier: free. Asana Starter ($10.99/user) and Spedy Pro (€9/user) are close on list price; EUR pricing removes the FX risk. Higher Asana tiers (Advanced/Enterprise) include features Spedy intentionally doesn't ship (e.g., Goals, Portfolios, approval chains) — a 1:1 price comparison there isn't apples-to-apples. The meaningful comparison is Asana at a similar feature scope to Spedy Pro, i.e. Starter/Standard.
