Is Stelaah a good Asana alternative for client work?

Yes. Asana is great at projects but does not handle contracts, invoicing, or client CRM. Stelaah keeps the project management and adds the client side.

Can Stelaah track time and bill it?

Yes, time tracking flows straight to invoices. Asana includes native time tracking on Advanced but has no native client billing.

Which is better for an agency?

Stelaah, because it carries projects, clients, contracts, and invoices together, where Asana covers the project layer only.
