Asana is mature project management for running team work. AgencyKit runs the client relationship, from proposal to paid. They solve different problems.
Asana is best-in-class team project management, but it has no proposals, contracts, e-signature, invoicing, or online payments, and native time tracking only on its higher tiers. AgencyKit runs the entire client relationship end to end, so a client-facing business needs the latter, or Asana plus a stack of add-on tools.

Asana is excellent for coordinating team work: assigning tasks, mapping dependencies, and tracking many projects at once. What it does not do is the client-facing money side, so proposals, contracts, invoicing, and payments live in other tools. A common setup is Asana for internal delivery and AgencyKit for the client-to-cash workflow.
You can manage the work on Asana, but not the client-to-cash side. Asana has no proposals, contracts, e-signature, invoicing, or online payments, so you would add separate tools for each. AgencyKit runs that workflow natively.
Only on its Advanced tier and above, and it is basic. Most teams add a tool like Toggl or Harvest. AgencyKit includes built-in time tracking on every plan, with hours flowing into invoices.
No. Asana has no native invoicing and cannot collect payments. AgencyKit includes invoicing on every plan and online payments on the Agency plan.
Many teams do. Run internal project and program management in Asana, and run proposals, contracts, invoices, and payments in AgencyKit.
Asana is billed per user, so cost scales with your team. AgencyKit is billed per account and starts at $9 a month, with the full Agency plan at $39, regardless of how many teammates are on that tier.
