Where TaskRox wins
Zero construction features in Asana
Asana has no RFI feature, no QA, no HSE, no document management with transmittals, no Gantt with CPM, no site diary, no BOQ, no MOC. It's a task manager, not a construction PM platform.
Right-shaped for construction teams
Asana charges per user across multiple tiers for general task management. TaskRox is priced per billable user in AUD with viewers and external contacts free — and you get all 49 construction-specific platform features without paying for general-purpose flexibility you do not need.
Complete replacement
TaskRox isn't a supplement to Asana — it replaces it entirely, plus all the other tools you're using alongside it.
Built for your industry
Every feature in TaskRox was designed by a construction PM for construction teams. Asana was designed for marketing teams and software companies.
Choose Asana if
You're a software team, marketing agency, or knowledge worker who needs clean task management. Asana is excellent at what it does — it just doesn't do construction.
Choose TaskRox if
You're a construction team using Asana because you couldn't find anything better, and you're supplementing it with Excel, shared drives, and email for everything Asana can't do.
Switching path
Export your Asana projects as CSV and import tasks into TaskRox. All the construction features you've been missing are ready to go — no configuration needed.
