# Make Asana Google Sheets scenarios vs Asana to Sheets

Make Asana Google Sheets scenarios against Asana to Sheets: Make credits, a 15-minute free interval, 90 Asana modules, Bulk Add Rows, and who should pick which.

## Key takeaways

- Make bills in credits: the free plan gives 1,000 a month, and Core starts from $9 for 10,000.
- Make's free plan runs a scenario every 15 minutes at most, and paid plans go down to 1 minute.
- Make's Asana app has 90 modules, 8 of them triggers, and none watches for deleted tasks.
- In Make, matching rows to tasks is yours to build: a search on the task ID, a router, then an update or add module.
- Asana to Sheets costs a flat $9 to $39 a month and does the matching, subtasks and multi-project tasks for you.

Somebody on the team likes building things. They open Make, drag an Asana module onto the canvas, wire it to Google Sheets, and 40 minutes later the scenario runs. New tasks show up as rows. For a week it looks done.

Then a task moves section, a due date slips, and a client asks why the sheet says 23 open tasks when Asana says 17. A Make Asana Google Sheets scenario does exactly what you drew it to do. Keeping a whole project in step is a bigger drawing.

The short verdict. Pick Make when the job has branches: filter here, route there, write to Sheets and 2 other apps in one run. Make shows that logic as a drawing. Pick Asana to Sheets, an [Asana to Google Sheets™](/) add-on, when the job is a tab that mirrors an Asana project. Make's Core plan starts from $9 for 10,000 credits. Asana to Sheets costs a flat $9 to $39 a month and comes with the matching built.

## Make scenarios: Asana modules into Sheets rows

Make calls a workflow a scenario. A step is a module, and you lay them out on a canvas like a flowchart.

Make's Asana app has 90 modules. 8 are triggers, such as Watch New Tasks, Watch Completed Tasks, Watch Tasks or Subtasks and Watch Webhook Events. 59 are actions and 23 are searches. On the Google Sheets side there are 27 modules, including Add a Row, Update a Row, Bulk Add Rows and Bulk Update Rows.

The starter build is Watch New Tasks into Add a Row. A task appears in Asana, a row appears at the bottom of the tab. It works for a log of new tasks.

Bulk Add Rows matters most for reporting. It writes many rows in one module run. A scheduled scenario can search a project's tasks, gather them, and write the batch in one go. That's closer to a sync than anything a one-row-per-event tool does.

## The matching job is yours

The hard part of a sync is knowing which row belongs to which task. Make leaves that to you.

To update a row when a task changes, the scenario has to find the row first. That means a search module keyed on the Asana task ID, then a router: update if found, add if not. Routers are free in Make's credit model. The search and the write still cost credits.

Then the edge cases arrive. A task in 2 projects can show up twice unless you handle it. Subtasks need their own trigger, and Asana nests them up to 5 levels deep. A new custom field in Asana means a new mapping in the scenario. Make's 8 Asana triggers include no watcher for deleted tasks. The tidy path for deletions is a full rebuild of the tab on a schedule.

Asana to Sheets ships with that work done. The sidebar picks a workspace, a team and a project. A filtered sync narrows by section, assignee, tag, completed or due window. It writes a task in several projects once. Subtasks arrive with their parent's name. Custom fields land in columns: text, number, currency, percentage, single-select, multi-select, date, people, formula and reference.

The trade is control. Make lets you shape every row. Asana to Sheets gives you a fixed layout, and asks you not to delete or rearrange its columns. Resizing and hiding are safe. Reports go on a second tab with `QUERY` or `FILTER`.

## Make credits and run intervals

Make has billed in credits since 27 August 2025. Most module actions cost 1 credit. Routers and error handlers cost nothing.

The free plan gives 1,000 credits a month, and a scenario can run at most every 15 minutes. Paid plans go down to 1 minute. Core starts from $9 for 10,000 credits, per Make's own comparison page. The plans go by Free, Core, Pro, Teams and Enterprise.

An estimate, to show the shape of the bill. A search, a router and a write cost about 2 credits per task handled, since the router is free. 500 task events a month is about 1,000 credits, the whole free allowance. A scheduled rebuild with Bulk Add Rows is cheaper per task, but every run spends credits whether anything changed or not. Run it every 15 minutes and that's 2,880 runs in a 30-day month.

Asana to Sheets prices the account. Starter is $9 a month ($90 a year) for up to 3 manual syncs. Pro is $19 a month ($190 a year) and adds unlimited syncs, a sync every 3 hours, time entries and users. Business is $39 a month ($390 a year) and adds two-way sync, live sync and reports. The detail is on the [pricing page](/pricing).

Make wins on raw speed for a schedule. A Sheets add-on lives under Google's cap of roughly one scheduled run an hour, and ours runs every 3 hours. Live sync on Business is the faster path. It listens for Asana's own change notices, which reach our server, and the sheet updates in seconds. Manual and scheduled syncs run in your Google account.

Both tools meet Asana's request limit. Asana slows any connection that asks too often, at about 150 requests a minute on free workspaces and 1,500 on paid ones. A scenario that loops over 600 tasks in a minute on a free workspace will hit it. The detail is in [Asana rate limits](/blog/asana-rate-limits).

## Pick Make for visual multi-step logic

Pick Make when the work branches. A task moves to "Ready for invoice". A router sends it to the billing sheet, a second path creates a draft invoice and a third pings the account manager. Make draws that on one canvas.

Pick Make when Asana is one of several apps in the flow. Asana to Sheets connects Asana and Google Sheets and nothing else.

Pick Make when you want to shape each row yourself. A scenario can combine fields, rename statuses and drop tasks that fail a filter.

Pick Make when your volume is small. 1,000 free credits a month covers a light log of new tasks.

And pick it when someone on the team enjoys building and will maintain the scenario next quarter. That person is the real cost of Make, and some teams have them.

## Pick Asana to Sheets for a project mirror

Pick Asana to Sheets when the tab has to match the project, today, with no scenario to babysit.

Pick it when subtasks, multi-project tasks and custom fields have to land right on the first sync.

Pick it when the bill should stay flat however busy the project gets.

Pick it when edits in the sheet should go back to Asana. On Business that covers name, notes, assignee, dates, section move, completed and custom fields. Formula fields stay read-only, and Asana allows one assignee per task.

Pick it when you also want time entries or a user list. Both come with Pro. Time entries need an Asana workspace on Advanced or higher, and each entry holds a date and a duration only.

## Frequently asked questions

### How many Make credits does an Asana to Google Sheets scenario use?

Most modules cost 1 credit per run, and routers and error handlers are free. A search-then-write path costs about 2 credits per task handled. A scheduled rebuild spends credits on every run, even when nothing in Asana changed.

### Can Make keep a whole Asana project in sync with a sheet?

It can, if you build the matching. That means a search for the row by task ID, a router, and update or add modules, plus handling for subtasks and tasks in several projects. A scheduled rebuild with Bulk Add Rows is the simplest route to a full mirror.

### Is Make cheaper than Zapier for Asana and Google Sheets?

Make's Core starts from $9 for 10,000 credits. Zapier's Professional is $19.99 a month on annual billing for 750 tasks. The units differ, so compare on your own volume. The full Zapier side is in [Zapier compared with Asana to Sheets](/blog/asana-to-sheets-vs-zapier).

### How often can a Make scenario run on the free plan?

Once per 15 minutes at most. Paid plans can run as often as every minute. A Google Sheets add-on can't schedule itself more than about once an hour, and Asana to Sheets runs every 3 hours on Pro.

### Does Asana to Sheets connect to apps other than Asana?

No. It syncs Asana and Google Sheets only. If the flow also has to touch Slack, a CRM or an invoicing tool, Make is the right tool for that part.

## Draw the scenario before you buy

Sketch the scenario on paper: trigger, search, router, write, subtasks, deletions. If the drawing has branches into other apps, build it in Make. If the drawing is a tab that copies a project, start the 7-day trial from the [pricing page](/pricing).
