Switching to ClickUp for now. Will come back if/when Asana offers such a thing. Later! 
Ditto on what everyone has said above - now Iām giving ClickUp a whirl for personal project planning, despite years spent in the free version of Asana and a preference for Asana due to familiarity with the UIā¦
Because there is still no answer for a previous topic created that got closed, is there any reason why freelancers canāt upgrade to premium just paying 1 member license?

Can you point the topic that was closed please? Re-opening a closed topic might not be the answer though. @Alexis any input for us?

I see Iām not alone in wishing there was a premium option for a single user.
I like Asana, Iāve dipped in and out of the free version for over a year and the premium tools like roadmap look great, they are just what I need!
Unfortunately, 1 user paying for 5 licences is simply not worth it.
Iām in a team of 1 at the moment, it may grow, but itās unlikely to get beyond 3.
A 5 user licence is certainly not going to be approved when the company can simply add me as a user on say, Jira (Iām in marketing, the dev team use Jira) for a much smaller price.
A 30-day trial sounds nice, but with a heavy workload (itās why we need a PM tool!) itās not enough time to invest in building up Asana properly to try and convince other teams to adopt.
So, itās not only freelancers being priced out, itās small teams of 1-3 in companies too. Teams who, if they got to show this tool in meetings, to demonstrate sprint and roadmap planning with Asana would very likely over time win over business to invest moreā¦ and make the leap to the next level of 5+ licences.
So while Iām sure the pricing model has been carefully thought out for growing SMEās, Asana really are shooting themselves in the foot for getting more users on-board who would promote the tool.
I refuse to believe the admin or server space taken by the undoubted surge in premium single users would ruin profits. Iām sure it would actually cement new users into using the system, become advocates and enable small teams to actually be more productive, grow, and spread to the rest of their enterprise.
So come on, Asana, give us a single user premium account at a single-user price.
Iād love to be using the tool, but that first step is too high for tentative single or small team users.

Iām new to the community here, but on the previous closed topic @Alexis noted we could DM any further questionsā¦ Iāve gone through the entire dashboard and canāt see an option to do that.
Iāve a feeling this is a closed shop (I hope Iām wrong - as otherwise Iām a Jira user!)

Agreed. Asana need a premium plan for 1 and 3 users. The current premium plan is too much for freelancers and small teams

Hi, I would like to say that I really will appreciate this feature too. Asana reallly needs an individual plan less than $37 bucks.

I agree, love Asana, but have to look for other alternatives, as no point to pay for 5 users when I am using it aloneā¦

Same here, Really wish there was a premium tier for single to small teams. Frustrating to have such a great feature set so close but not available.

i loved Asana, left and came back and still no premium solo user. This was 2 years ago. Itās hard to believe that itās not a possibility and forcing people to pay $38 for 5 seats that will never be filled is crazy. I could discontinue the use of several programs if I could just use Asana. I feel like the way things are going itāll be another couple of years before itās offered. Sad day.

why this is not merged with other one which has 42 votesā¦plus this oneā¦we are above 50 votes. community manager should merge similar topics to see real upvote.

ping @Marie for a possible merge. However I think Discourse does not sum up votes when merging 
My guess is that the product team knows exactly which topics are ātrendingā, even if the number of vote is not accurate.
Thanks for the mention @Bastien_Siebman! The previous thread has been closed, so I think we shouldnāt merge this one with the previous one. Rather than creating a new thread every time someone new join the community, Iād rather leave this one open so users can continue sharing their feedback.
Weāre aware that this is a popular request, and while I donāt have an update to share at the moment, I can ensure you that we keep monitoring the situation!

Same here. I will not use Asana, and this is because there is no single-user plan.

Throwing in my +1 for this pricing model. I was going to subscribe to Asana for personal use, but I canāt justify the price.
Yep, you asana guys lost another client with this unreasonable pricing scale upā¦ Going for ClickUp instead. Cheers
I agree. ASANAā¦ you are losing out on the possibility of an additional subscription rate of up to $15/ per month for SOLO premium users.
Thanks for the tip!!! Iām going to try ClickUp now!
