My Hours vs Asana
A side-by-side editorial comparison of My Hours and Asana — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
My Hours vs Asana: at a glance
What is My Hours?
My Hours 10.3 makes invoice dates editable and lets invoices carry a Detailed report.
10.3 makes the issue date editable on draft invoices, adds account and per-client default due dates, and lets users edit the email subject, preview the email and attach a Detailed report when sending. Daily Track gets a cleaner layout and filters get a redesign. It follows 10.2's lifetime project profitability, 10.1's audit log and 10.0's timesheet periods and locking.
What is Asana?
Asana lets Division admins run their own custom roles, on top Enterprise plans only.
Asana's fall releases split between new structure and tighter control. Tables arrived on October 29 as a new object type; since then it has added a Client portal tab in Inbox, collapsible headings in Pages and hourly credit limits for AI Studio automations. The November 12 release lets Division Admins assign roles and build custom roles from Member or Guest, with one role per person across all Divisions.
My Hours vs Asana: editorial side-by-side
My Hours
5.0PM
My Hours 10.3 makes invoice dates editable and lets invoices carry a Detailed report.
◆ Current state
10.3 makes the issue date editable on draft invoices, adds account and per-client default due dates, and lets users edit the email subject, preview the email and attach a Detailed report when sending. Daily Track gets a cleaner layout and filters get a redesign. It follows 10.2's lifetime project profitability, 10.1's audit log and 10.0's timesheet periods and locking.
◆ Where it's heading
My Hours keeps shipping every one to three weeks, and the work is concentrated on the billing end: invoices, profitability and approval controls. It is moving from a time tracker toward the system agencies use to bill clients.
◆ Prediction
Expect more invoicing controls, such as recurring invoices or payment tracking, given four straight releases touching billing. The September MCP server has had no follow-up in these entries.
Asana
6.3PMCOLLAB
Asana lets Division admins run their own custom roles, on top Enterprise plans only.
◆ Current state
Asana's fall releases split between new structure and tighter control. Tables arrived on October 29 as a new object type; since then it has added a Client portal tab in Inbox, collapsible headings in Pages and hourly credit limits for AI Studio automations. The November 12 release lets Division Admins assign roles and build custom roles from Member or Guest, with one role per person across all Divisions.
◆ Where it's heading
The governance thread is getting more granular: rules that run with their owner's current permissions, credit caps per automation, and now role control pushed down to Division level. Asana is building the admin layer large companies need before they let AI Studio and new objects like Tables spread across departments.
◆ Prediction
Expect further admin and permission controls for Tables and AI Studio, likely gated to Enterprise tiers as this one is.
