Why SEO Agencies Look Beyond Asana
You build the SEO system yourself. Asana works for any team, so audits, backlink work and monthly content cycles are projects and templates you set up and keep up to date.
Approvals sit on the higher plan. Starter doesn't include approvals. You need Advanced, at $24.99 per user per month.
What Changes When You Run Retainers in OthFlow
OthFlow comes ready for SEO retainers: audits, backlinks, content cycles and approvals are already structured. Every client gets a health score that updates on its own from overdue work, open concerns and invoice status, and each point links to its cause. Clients see progress and approve work in their portal, and invoices sit beside the delivery they cover.
General Work Management vs SEO Retainer Operations
Asana is designed to organise work for any team, with timelines, goals, portfolios and automations. OthFlow is designed around one kind of work: monthly SEO retainers, with delivery, approvals, client health and invoice tracking in one workspace. Asana also sells a separate Client Management product for agencies, priced on its own.
If your agency runs many kinds of projects and wants one flexible tool, Asana covers a lot of ground. If you sell SEO retainers, OthFlow fits the way that work actually runs.
OthFlow vs Asana Pricing
Asana charges per user. Starter is $10.99 per user per month billed annually ($13.49 monthly), and Advanced, where approvals start, is $24.99 ($30.49 monthly). A five-person team on Advanced pays about $125 a month on annual billing.

Why SEO Agencies Choose OthFlow
Built by SEO specialists, for SEO agencies.
The fields, workflows and language are shaped around audits, backlinks, content cycles and approvals. You don't start from a blank board.
One workspace instead of five tools.
Delivery, client updates, approvals, client health and invoice tracking live together, so your team stops copying information between apps.
See client risk while there's time to act.
Health scores flag accounts slipping on delivery, concerns or invoices before the renewal conversation.
Clients stop chasing updates.
The portal shows what's moving and what needs their input, so the "quick update?" emails drop off.
