The Quick Verdict
Three reasons Salesforce teams pick Delivery Hub over Asana.
Free vs $10.99+/user/mo
Delivery Hub is free forever. No per-seat pricing, no premium tiers, no surprise invoices. Asana starts at $10.99 per user per month and scales up fast.
Salesforce-Native vs External SaaS
Delivery Hub lives inside your Salesforce org. Your data never leaves. Asana is a separate platform that requires an add-on to connect to Salesforce.
Work Items Tied to Accounts vs Disconnected Tasks
Every work item in Delivery Hub connects natively to Salesforce accounts, contacts, and opportunities. In Asana, tasks exist in a vacuum.

Features Asana Can't Match
The latest Delivery Hub release adds capabilities no external tool can replicate inside Salesforce.
Built-in Invoice Automation
Auto-generate invoices from tracked hours on configurable schedules. No third-party billing tool needed. Asana has zero invoicing capability.
Velocity & Capacity Planning
Native team velocity charts, developer utilization tracking, and projected completion dates with what-if analysis. Asana has no velocity tracking at any tier.
Self-Service Client Portal
Clients see their own work items in real-time. One-click onboarding with auto-provisioned access. Asana requires paid guest seats for any client visibility.
Multi-Workflow Engine
Not just software delivery. Configure workflows for any process type with dynamic phases, ETA calculations, and per-workflow dashboards. Asana limits you to templates.
Enterprise-Grade Quality
89%+ test coverage, 225 Apex classes, 68 LWC components, automated scanner pipeline
Free & Open Source
100% free on GitHub. Asana charges $10.99–$24.99/user/mo and the source is closed.
Why Delivery Hub Over Asana for Salesforce Teams
Your Data Stays in Salesforce
No syncing, no data sprawl, no third-party servers holding your client information. Delivery Hub stores everything inside your Salesforce org, governed by the same security model, sharing rules, and compliance controls you already have in place. When an auditor asks where your project data lives, the answer is simple: Salesforce.
Clients Don’t Need Another Login
Delivery Hub includes a public status page and a client dashboard out of the box. Your clients see real-time progress without creating an Asana account, learning a new tool, or paying for guest access. Share a link. They see what’s done, what’s next, and when to expect it.
Work Items Connect to Your CRM Data
Every work item in Delivery Hub can be linked to Salesforce accounts, contacts, and opportunities natively. No mapping tables, no custom integrations, no middleware. When a deal closes, the delivery work is already tied to the right account. When a client calls, you see their open items instantly.
Free Means Free
No per-seat costs that scale with your team. No premium tier to unlock the features you actually need. No annual contracts. Delivery Hub is open-source under BSL 1.1 and completely free to install, use, and extend. Add ten users or a hundred — the price stays the same: zero.
Common Questions
Can Delivery Hub replace Asana for my Salesforce team?
Yes. Delivery Hub covers task tracking, Kanban boards, time logging, recurring tasks, file management, and workflow automation — all inside Salesforce. If your team already works in Salesforce, Delivery Hub eliminates the need for a separate tool entirely.
What does Delivery Hub have that Asana doesn’t?
Cross-org bidirectional sync, a built-in escalation engine with SLA alerts, native Salesforce data connections (accounts, contacts, opportunities), a self-service client portal with one-click onboarding, automated invoice generation from tracked hours, velocity and capacity planning with what-if analysis, multi-workflow support for any process type, document versioning, email-to-comment threading, real-time Platform Events, and AI-powered estimation — all included for free, backed by 89%+ test coverage.
Is Delivery Hub really free?
Yes. Free to install, free to use, no per-seat pricing, no premium tiers. It’s open source under BSL 1.1 and available on GitHub.
How long does it take to switch from Asana to Delivery Hub?
The install takes about 3 minutes. Delivery Hub includes a CSV import tool, so you can bulk-import your existing tasks from Asana. Most teams are up and running the same day.
Does Delivery Hub work with multiple Salesforce orgs?
Yes. Cross-org sync is built in. Work items, comments, files, and stage changes replicate bidirectionally between any two Salesforce orgs with retry logic and echo suppression.
Ready to Ditch
the Extra Tab?
Your Salesforce org already has everything you need. Stop paying for a separate tool that duplicates your data and disconnects your team.
