What is the Asana charge?

An ASANA* ONLINE, ASANA* PREM, or ASANA* [ID] charge on your bank statement refers to a subscription for the Asana work management platform. Asana is a powerful tool for teams to track tasks and projects. While they offer a robust free version for individuals and tiny teams, their paid plans (Starter, Advanced, and Enterprise) are required for larger groups or professional features like Gantt charts and Resource Management.

Common bank statement descriptors

  • ASANA* ONLINE — typical monthly bill for the Starter or Advanced plan
  • ASANA* [RANDOM STRING] — refers to a specific invoice ID for your organization
  • APPLE.COM/BILL — if you subscribed via the Asana iOS app in the App Store
  • GOOGLE *ASANA — if your subscription is managed via the Google Play Store

Is This Charge Legitimate Or Fraudulent?

Unrecognized Asana charges are almost always "Trial Auto-Renewals." Asana frequently offers 30-day trials of their 'Advanced' tier. If credit card info was provided to access a certain template or timeline feature, the system will automatically bill for the entire team (not just the individual) once the 30 days are up. Fraud is less common but involves stolen card data being used to create high-seat-count Business organizations for spam or data scraping operations.

Why Does This Charge Appear On My Bank Statement?

Asana bills in advance at the start of your service period. Common reasons for the charge include:

  • Team Size Limits: If your free team grows to 16 members, Asana will require a paid upgrade for the entire group.
  • Annual Commits: Asana pushes for annual billing; a large, unexpected charge may be the 12-month renewal of a plan you signed up for a year ago.

  • Organizational Upgrades: If an employee at your company upgrades their individual workspace using a corporate card, it can trigger a recurring 'division' charge.
  • Guest Users: While some guests are free, adding 'Limited Access' members in certain tiers can trigger additional seat charges depending on your specific contract terms.

How To Stop This Charge

How To Dispute This Charge

Always attempt to resolve billing errors with Asana Support (via their Help Center) first. Asana's terms are generally non-refundable, but they specify that annual plans can be refunded within 30 days of the renewal if you didn't intend to renew.

Dispute with your bank if:

  • An Asana charge appears but you have never heard of the company and have no account (stolen card).
  • You cancelled your plan weeks ago and have the 'Cancellation Successful' email, but they billed you again.
  • You were charged for 50 seats when your team only has 5 active users.

Timeline guidance

Contact Asana Support within 30 days for annual plans. For monthly plans, you must act within the first 48-72 hours for any chance of a manual reversal. Bank disputes have a 60-day legal window.

Evidence you'll need

  • Your Billing Invoice from the Admin Console.
  • A screenshot of the Members list showing the actual number of users.
  • The Cancellation Confirmation email from Asana.

Asana is a world-class project management tool, but their transition from 'Free' to 'Paid' is designed for maximum efficiency, which can lead to accidental billing for small teams. Audit your Admin Console's 'Billing' tab once a month to ensure your workspace costs align with your team's actual usage.
