Boards and cards for people who hate project plans
Boards and cards instead of Asana's structured lists and timelines; a free tier plus paid plans from $6 make it the lighter, cheaper pick.
Docs, tasks and dashboards in one place
Docs, tasks and dashboards in one place, with a free tier and paid plans from $7 undercutting Asana's $10.99.
A task list that survives being ignored for a week
A plain task list from $5 with a free tier; suits a solo creator who wants deadlines tracked without buying Asana's team process.
A database that behaves like a spreadsheet
A database that behaves like a spreadsheet, so a publishing pipeline becomes tables rather than task lists; free tier, then $20, nearly double Asana's start.
Where most creators end up planning everything
Where most creators end up planning everything; a looser docs-and-tasks workspace from $12 with a free tier, against Asana's who-owes-what-by-when tracking.
Boards you can shape into whatever the work is
Boards you can shape into whatever the work is, free tier included and paid from $12, slightly above Asana's $10.99 start.
Flat pricing that stops caring how big you get
The same team project tracking with flat pricing that stops caring how big you get, useful once you pass the two-collaborator cap on Asana's free plan.
Builds the day's schedule from the task list
Motion at $29 builds the day's schedule from the task list itself, so the plan updates when the work slips rather than waiting to be redrawn.
