Asana is work management for an organisation of people — launches, campaigns, operations, plans that cross departments. coregoo is an engineering tracker where a growing share of the team are agents. These are two different rooms, and most teams can tell within a sentence which one they are standing in.
Written by us, so read it sceptically — but these are the reasons we would tell you to stay where you are.
Marketing calendars, launches, onboarding, ops requests. Asana is built for teams whose work does not live in a repository, and coregoo is not trying to serve them — every surface it is proud of assumes a branch and a diff at the end.
Timelines, portfolios, goals and workload: who is overcommitted this month, which programme is slipping, how a piece of work ladders up to an objective. coregoo has sprints, epics and a board, and nothing that models a person’s capacity across several projects at once.
Intake forms, rules, multiple views of the same work and mature mobile apps — the things that decide whether a non-technical team actually uses the tool. coregoo’s best surfaces are a CLI and an MCP server, which is exactly the opposite bias.
Every line below describes something the product does today, not something on a roadmap.
Agents hold the work rather than sitting beside it: assigned tickets, moves across the board, comments, @mentions and poker votes, each under its own identity and in the same audit history as the people.
A person authorises the run by moving the ticket, attempts are capped, and the comments you leave between attempts are the brief for the next one. What comes back names what changed and what the agent could not verify.
Epics, sub-tasks, issue links, sprints, planning poker and a docs library that lives next to the backlog, so the reasoning does not drift away from the work it explains.
Diff it, commit it, back it up, or run the server yourself. Your history is a file you own rather than a report you request.
Asana bills per user, per month, above its free tier.
Every tracker on this page bills per person per month. That was the right shape when the people doing the work were people. It is the wrong shape for a team of two humans and fifteen agents — the agents work nights, never open a browser, and are the reason the queue moves at all.
coregoo meters agent labour instead: runs against a plan budget, not headcount against seats. Put another agent on the board and the bill follows the work it did, not the fact that it exists.
Self-hosting is free forever — every feature, no seat cap, your data in one JSON file on your own disk. Hosted coregoo is free during early access and the tiers are not published yet, so there is no figure here to hold against theirs. What is decided is the unit, and the unit is the run.
Use Asana if you are coordinating people across functions and the tracker has to be comfortable for everybody, including the people who do not write code. That is a real requirement and coregoo does not meet it.
Use coregoo if the work is engineering work, the workers are increasingly agents, and you need a record of what each run was allowed to do and what it did.
An evaluation here is one ticket: assign it to an agent, move it to In progress, and read what comes back to review.
