Run on our managed cloud for zero-ops simplicity, or deploy on our / your servers as per the arrangement or mutual discussion for full data sovereignty.
We handle infrastructure, upgrades, backups and monitoring. You ship features.
Deploy on our / your servers or private VPC as per the arrangement or mutual discussion. Your data never leaves your network — including AI.
Layer on exactly what you need. All add-ons are managed from your workspace settings.
Every competitor either charges extra for AI, locks data in the cloud, or can't convert strategy into tasks. Karyastra does all three — at no extra cost.
These aren't features on a roadmap — they ship today, on every paid plan.
Unlimited AI assistance on every plan. No add-on, no metered credits, no data sent to OpenAI or Anthropic. Your prompts stay on our / your server as per the arrangement.
Drop in a statement of work, contract, or requirements doc. AI reads it, extracts epics, stories, and tasks, and loads a sprint-ready backlog automatically.
Run the entire platform — including AI models via Ollama — on our / your servers as per the arrangement or mutual discussion. Air-gapped environments supported. Ideal for defence, finance, and healthcare.
At 50 seats, Asana Advanced + AI runs ~$1,750/mo. Karyastra Growth with unlimited AI: $250/mo. Same capability, $1,500 saved every single month.

Six capabilities that no single competitor offers — not separately, and certainly not bundled at $5/user.
Drag the sliders to model your situation. Figures are illustrative estimates based on published 2026 SaaS pricing.
Yes. AI task descriptions, tags and basic actions are available on Spark at no charge. The AI Project Planner (SOW/Figma → backlog), standup generator and advanced AI actions unlock on Growth and above.
No. Every AI action runs on open models you self-host via Ollama. On cloud plans, the AI engine runs inside our isolated tenant environment. On self-hosted plans, the models run entirely on our / your servers as per the arrangement or mutual discussion — your data never leaves your network.
A user is any person with a login who can create or edit tasks. Read-only guest / client viewers do not count toward your seat limit on Growth and above.
Absolutely. Your data, projects and history migrate seamlessly when you upgrade. Upgrade at any time from your workspace settings.
Cloud is a fully managed SaaS — we handle infrastructure, upgrades and backups. Self-hosted means Karyastra (and the AI models) run on our / your servers as per the arrangement or mutual discussion via Docker Compose or Kubernetes. Self-hosted is an option on Scale and included on Enterprise.
Yes. We offer 50% off for registered non-profits and YC/accelerator-backed startups under 2 years old. Contact us with proof of eligibility.
Annual plans are refundable within 30 days of purchase. Monthly plans are not refunded mid-cycle. Enterprise contracts are governed by the signed MSA.
Pay upfront for 12 months and receive 20% off the monthly per-user rate. The annual price is locked for the contract term regardless of seat changes mid-year.
Yes — Enterprise plans include custom contracting, data-processing addendums and master service agreements. Contact our sales team.
GitHub and GitLab are built-in on Growth and above. Slack and Zapier/n8n are available as add-ons. A full REST API + webhook system is available on Scale and Enterprise. SSO/SAML is on the roadmap for Enterprise.
