Asana vs. monday.com: which to choose in 2021

Blog: Monday Project Management Blog

Whether you’re still working everyday from the comfort of your pajamas, or are back in the office full time, by implementing a robust project management tool, you could probably work more efficiently.

But have no fear, the right tool to supercharge your work (and team collaboration) is here! But with 289 project management software out there, it can be really challenging to know you’re making the right pick.

We’re here to help, and give you a full breakdown of two of the popular options out there: Asana and monday.com.

First things first:

What is Asana?

Asana is a project management software that was founded in 2008 by former Facebook executives as an internal tool within the company to “help everyone track their work.”

In other words, it’s a project management tool intended to improve team communication and collaboration.

What is monday.com?

monday.com is a Work Operating System (Work OS) where you can create any work software to run all of your work–from projects to workflows and everything in between.

It’s intuitive yet powerful, and helps teams of all sizes adjust to shifting needs, create transparency, collaborate with ease, and automate mundane grunt work.

Yes, you can use monday.com for workflow management, but you can also use it as a CRM, to manage your ad campaigns, to track bugs, automate reminders for upcoming due dates, or just about anything, really.

Asana features: straightforward and minimalistic

For those of us who don’t identify as tech savvy (no shame), Asana has a minimalistic interface. That being said, because of how straightforward it is, it’s less visual than other competitors. Since Asana touts itself as a platform that boosts team collaboration, you can attach a file or add a comment using @ mentions to alert, tag, and notify others.

Asana also offers only six view options (like Gantt charts and calendar), which is less than some of its competitors, like monday.com that offers eight different view options. But, the company offers a feature called Workload, which prevents burnout by letting you set restrictions on team members’ workloads. P.S.—monday.com has a workload view too, just putting that out there…

monday.com features: visual dashboards, automations, and more!

Because monday.com allows you to build any work software on top of it, it has A LOT of features that are simple to use, set up, and master. We’ve narrowed down some of our favorites here:

Asana pricing: different plans for different needs (and pockets)

Basic: For individuals or small teams of less than 15 people, Asana offers their most basic plan as a free version “forever,” and includes unlimited storage, access to its iOS and Android mobile apps, and unlimited projects.

Premium: Asana’s premium plan costs $10.99 per user per month, and grants access to forms, dashboards, and inviting unlimited free guests.

Business: Asana’s business plan sets teams back $24.99 per user per month, offering advanced integrations with Salesforce and Adobe, and customizable forms.

Enterprise: There aren’t huge differences between the business and enterprise plans, except that the Enterprise plan includes user provisioning & de-provisioning (SCIM) and priority support. The cost of Asana’s Enterprise plan is not listed on their website.

monday.com pricing: from free to tailored enterprise plans, there’s something for everyone’s budget and needs

Our pricing operates on a “price-per-seat” model. How much you pay will depend on how many seats you need, what features you’re looking for, and whether you want to pay annually or monthly.

Individual plan: 

monday.com’s Individual tier is a forever free plan that includes all of the Basic plan’s features (keep reading to learn more), but it’s limited to 2 seats and 200 items. But it’s completely free and who doesn’t love that?

You can access it upon completing the 14-day trial free trial, which you can sign up for without a credit card.
