Ask HN: Are you using Asana premium and do you find the pricing misleading?

Was getting ready to try Asana premium but was rather frustrated with their pricing setup. It is advertised as $7.50 a month "per member per month" That number goes up as your organization falls into different pricing tiers.

But they don't actually charge you "per member per month" they charge you for the maximum amount of members you can have in the tier you selected. So 16 members means you pay $11.99 x 20 = $239.80 per month. But 16 members x $11.99 = $191.84

Seems very disingenuous to list your pricing per member when you are actually just pricing it per tiered level.

I was about to pull the trigger as I had convinced myself I could get over the arduously slow load times, but the fancy footwork with the pricing scheme makes me want to switch to give Trello a try. (Where aparently $9.99 per user per month means $9.99 per user per month.)
