Project management is the work itself: the projects, the tasks under them, and the hours that went in. These apps answer what is being done, by whom, and how far along it actually is.

Your team plans in Asana and keeps each project’s cost in a spreadsheet next to it. Put the effort and cost on the tasks instead, and the project adds them up.

Agency and consulting teams fill in the week on one grid, against the projects already in the Projects app, and the lead sees billable hours per project.
Every app here installs on its own and works on its own. Adding a companion is what makes both do more.
