Shares here are read over the models both editions asked, so they can differ by a point or two from the standing above, which counts every model in this edition.

The floor is 13 points of share, measured: how far the models move a leader on their own when the same questions are asked twice with nothing changed. A larger change is movement; a smaller one is noise, and both are shown. Movement is read over the twelve models both editions asked; GPT-6 Luna, Muse Glimmer 30B joined this edition and are in the standing but not yet in the comparison.

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“If you already live in Asana, don't buy a new tool. Use their native "Goals" module to lower adoption friction.” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Goals and OKRs · paraphrase prompt · alternative
“It lacks some specific OKR features like confidence scoring or peer review cycles found in dedicated tools.” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Goals and OKRs · comparative prompt · alternative
“If you already use Asana, its built-in goal management could be the most seamless option.” Mistral Small · Goals and OKRs · paraphrase prompt · alternative
“If your company already uses a project management tool like Notion, Asana, or Trello” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Goals and OKRs · budget prompt · alternative

And against it

Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.

“"Not a developer issue tracker, an OKR specialist, or a BI tool — the moment any of those needs dominates, a dedicated product usually wins."; "These tools were never made to help you achieve goals."ance” Muse Glimmer 30B · Goals and OKRs · negative prompt · hard negative
“tools like Trello, Asana, Jira, Monday.com, or ClickUp to manage leave, but these should generally be avoided” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Leave · negative prompt · hard negative
“Avoid using these as your *primary* home for OKR tracking” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Goals and OKRs · negative prompt · hard negative
“Platforms like Asana, ClickUp, monday.com, and similar that tacked on a "goals" object tend to be weak in outcome tracking.” MiniMax M2.5 · Goals and OKRs · negative prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Asana. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, five of the fourteen in this edition, so these counts come from 54 of the 72 answers that named Asana and are not a share of its labels.

Search figures are US estimates from DataForSEO, read September 28, 2026; AI search demand is its modeled, directional estimate, not a count of queries to any assistant. The answers are this edition's. Two measurements side by side: neither is read as the cause of the other.

Most recent

How it is countedHide how it is counted

Every page asana.com exposes, subdomains included. Kind is read from the address and title. The last 90 days, the latest date and the twelve months count pages by when they were published, from the site's feeds, a date in the address, or the page's own publication date, read from up to a hundred of its most recently changed pages; a page that says only when it last changed is counted in its kind but not in when, so the recent counts are a floor, and a kind none of whose pages gives a publication date reads undated. An event counts as online when its address or title says so (webinar, on demand, virtual or online summit); a conference, summit, trade show, expo or roadshow that does not say so is counted as a conference or event, which on a vendor's site is mostly in person. Read September 29, 2026.

Names read as Asana

What the judge wrote, as written, with how often. The vendor table decides that these count as Asana; a claim can dispute any of them.

Is this your product?

Claim this page

Claiming is free and changes nothing in the data. A claimed page shows a verified contact who is told when each edition publishes and when Asana's standing changes by more than the noise floor; the right to propose corrections to the vendor table, meaning names the judge wrote that should or should not read as Asana, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.

What a new claim receivesHide what a new claim receives

A new claim receives the current edition's vendor brief for Asana by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:

  • where Asana is named, by buyer and by framing, and which cells hold its first choices;
  • the claims the models make when they name it, ranked, with the strongest and the weakest quoted;
  • its vocabulary against the segment leader's, and the pages the models cited;
  • who was chosen in the answers that did not name Asana, and every reason the record gives;
  • a battlecard for each top rival: the head-to-head split, why they win, and the reservation quoted against them;
  • one page of published figures cleared to show a buyer.

A verification link goes to your work email; an address at asana.com is approved on the spot, any other is reviewed by hand. Your email is never published. Claiming gives no say over labels, shares, verdicts or which quotes appear.
