I've been in the Asana beta for a while & while it's a nice product, as far as I can tell, http://www.getflow.com/ is better in nearly every way. I just logged into Asana again today & it looks like they have started copying some elements from GetFlow, like the tabbed projects/tags/people bar on the left.

Anyone seriously use both tools & have an idea of their comparative strengths and weaknesses?

Just Flow, not GetFlow ;-) Appreciate the kind words.

The iDevice emphasis is a big turnoff for me. I'd have been more inclined to try it out if it only had a web mode, rather than touting its Mac and iPhone integration.

Hard to explain why. It almost feels like an elitist snub, or something.

Hm. We do have an awesome web experience—it's our primary focus—and we're working on a mobile-friendly web version as well.

Really love Flow. Tried Asana, but Flow is just better. My one critique - Flow MUST be cheaper to allow me to get my whole team on it. Come out with Team plans for $14.95 (5 people) to $24.95 (10 people), and I will have all of my friends and colleagues on it fast.

www.orchestra.com (notable for being the App Store "App Of The Week") has an eerily similar layout as well. I wonder why this space became so hyper-competitive seemingly overnight.

For me, a strength of Asana is it's free (under 30 users)
