Tired of paying for features your team doesn't need? Clopad is the purpose-built, free Asana alternative that gives fintech teams structured workflows, secure collaboration, and real project visibility — without the complexity or cost.
Trusted by fintech teams across product, engineering & ops
Asana was built for general teams. Fintech organisations have unique demands that generic project management tools simply weren't designed to meet. Here's what teams tell us they struggle with.
Advanced features like custom rules, timelines, and reporting are locked behind expensive premium tiers, making it hard to justify for growing fintech teams.
Fintech requires controlled visibility, structured access, and auditability. Asana's general-purpose access model isn't designed for regulated operations.
Engineering tickets, product tasks, and operational requests end up in different systems, breaking visibility and creating coordination gaps.
Asana's feature bloat creates friction for teams who need clear, structured workflows — not an overwhelming array of options that require hours to configure.

Asana lacks fintech structure
One system for development tickets, product tasks, and operational requests. No more context-switching between tools.
Replaces Asana + Jira combo
Role-based access ensures the right people see the right information — critical for fintech compliance and data governance.
