Hey Asana. Client projects are more than task lists.
Asana is a superb way for a team to organize its own work. Progense is built for the relationship across the table — where status has to be honest, sign-off has to be the client's, and scope has to be on the record.

Status is a written update
Health is a colored label and a status note someone types. It's only as current as the last person who remembered.
Scope lives in comments
Approvals exist for assets, but there's no formal scope-change record tied to the work and the client.
Budget is a paid add-on
Time tracking arrives on higher tiers and budgets are a separate add-on, not a default part of delivery.
What Asana is great at
Asana is one of the most refined work-management tools available — fast, calm, deep automation and reporting, a huge integration ecosystem, and genuinely free unlimited guests so clients can collaborate without a seat cost. For coordinating work inside a company it's excellent. Where Progense differs is focus: Asana is a horizontal task tracker; Progense is a vertical accountability system for client-facing delivery, with computed status, a client completion gate and a scope trail built in.
