What it does
Workast organizes project spaces, tasks and subtasks, assignments, deadlines, recurring due dates, and views including list, board, calendar, and timeline. The product also supports reporting and Slack-based task capture and updates. Its pricing page confirms a free Essential plan and a 14-day Pro trial but did not expose paid-plan amounts in the page text reviewed; Essential is Slack-only, while Standard adds the web app.
Workast is a fit for teams that want project tasks to live close to Slack conversations. Users can create spaces, assign tasks and subtasks, set deadlines or recurring due dates, and review work in list, board, calendar, or timeline views. The vendor’s pricing page confirms an Essential free tier and a 14-day Pro trial, but the opened content did not reveal a paid amount. The Slack dependency matters: the vendor says Essential task management is Slack-only, while Standard adds access through the web app.
