Speaker 1: Monday versus Asana project management comparison. Hey guys in this video We're going to be doing a quick project management comparison between monday.com and Asana and which is the better project management tool So let's get into it now starting off with their dashboards I'm gonna log into both of my accounts on both of these platforms now you can see over here This is the basic dashboard of monday.com and this is the basic dashboard of Asana Both are pretty neat and clear and both of them follow a pretty similar aesthetic overall Generally speaking, you're going to find a lot of similarities in both of these project management softwares and you're going to find that there are little to no differences in terms of the usability as a general customer for any of these softwares. So getting started now on the top over here on monday.com, you're going to see your different workspaces and within a workspace you can just add as many as you want. You can just click on add workspace and create a new workspace to start an entirely different project and the data within a singular workspace is not cross-contaminable. So if I have something in my workplace called Mary's Production House, then I can't transfer the data from Mary's Production House into the management workspace. So this is how a basic workspace feature works. Now within your workspace you can add different boards and dashboards. Now a board is a board like this that I have opened up and then you can add another board on top. So this is a marketing plan board. Then you can also make a sales plan and then you can just click on create board and this is going to make a second section within management workspace and this is going to be separated into two different categories so then you have your marketing plan and your sales plan this is just a basic categorization of items in monday.com now after that on your navigation on your left you're gonna find your notifications over here after your notifications you have your inbox you have your my work section and this is a section that I really love for monday.com because in your my works section you can see work that has been assigned to you only stuff that you have to do or you have done and you can see all of your items that have been completed as well you can hide them and choose to show them and then you also have work that is overdue today this week next week or later and then you also have work that does not have any kind of due date so you can view all of your work in one section and if you're working with a lot of different clients and businesses this keeps you organized and helps you into doing your work efficiently without having to browse through the entire workspace. Now after that you have your app integrations and you can integrate thousands of apps on the app marketplace on monday.com. It's a pretty vast service and you're gonna find all of your standard integrations. After that you can invite members and if you click over here then you're gonna have your account settings and then your explore page and within your account settings you have your my profile, import data, integration, developer, recycle bin, archive, admin, and team section. Now moving on to Asana. Asana is a pretty similar platform. You can see on the left you have your homepage and on your homepage you have all the stuff you have to do then your basic projects and the people that you have added. Then you have your my task section and as I've said on monday.com I really find that this my task for my work section is pretty useful and over here just as you could see on Monday you have your tasks that are recently assigned that you have to do today that you have to do in the next week to do later and then you can add more sections as well and this is a limitation on monday.com that you can't add your own custom sections but with Asana you can add a custom section for your my task section as well now after that you have your inbox where you can do messaging and all of your direct messaging is going to go to your inbox then you have a reporting functionality you have your portfolios and then you have your custom goals so you're going to have to add goals by yourself onto the Asana platform now after that you have your different workspaces. Now if you take a look at the Asana layout now, it works pretty similarly. Instead of saying that it is a workspace, you can just say that it is a new project and you're just going to click on new project. You can start with a blank canvas, you can start with a template, or you can import an entire spreadsheet. And if we just start with a blank canvas, you can add the things you want to add. And let's just say we're doing sales, we're going to click on create project over here. And now we have an entirely different project called sales started up. And you can see over here the projects are separated like this and the data on Asana is not as distinctively separated as it is on monday.com so if you want to delete any kind of project you can just click on these three dots over here and click on delete project and then you can delete like so now this is just a general overview of the Asana platform then you have your account settings as well and it's pretty simple you have a do not disturb mode and more details and general settings for your own account. Generally, for usability and general features, you're going to find that all of them are pretty simple. But what is the nitty-gritty and what is the price point for both of these project management softwares where you're actually going to be able to find a difference? Well, to get started, monday.com is available for free and on their free version, you have unlimited board stocks, over 200 templates, you have 20 column types, you have up to two members. So only if you have a team of less than two people or two people can you work on monday.com. While on Asana, if we take a look at their pricing, you have unlimited tasks, projects, messages, and unlimited activity logs. You have basic project views, you have calendar views, assignees and due dates, project overviews for the free version as well, and you can collaborate with up to 15 teammates. And this is a highlight feature of Asana. Now, this is a very basic limitation for monday.com because if anyone is looking to do project management for free, and they have a team of more than two people, they're gonna be opted or more tempted to go for Asana because, well, Asana lets you do up to 15 people for free, and generally speaking, if you take a look from a bird's eye view, you're gonna find that both of these platforms are just the same. But where do the little differences happen? Well, first off, you get unlimited boards and docs on monday.com, and you also get unlimited tasks and projects on the basic version of Asana, So there really isn't one difference that I could say and pinpoint and say, okay, this is what makes Monday better or Asana better than the other one. But if we compare their premium versions, you can see that on their premium versions, you have stuff like timeline views, unlimited dashboard reporting across unlimited projects, advanced search, custom fields, unlimited free guest invites, forums, rules, and start times and dates. While on monday.com, they have their basic version starting at $8 per member per month and it includes unlimited free viewers, unlimited items, 5 gigabytes per file storage, prioritized customer support, and you can create a dashboard for up to one board. So when it comes to pricing Asana does it better because although they keep it simple with only three plans, I find that their plans are priced more decently than money.com and I think that if you're ever looking to upgrade on money.com you should go directly to the pro version of money.com which is going to give you dashboards that can combine up to 10 boards, over 25,000 integrations, 25,000 automations, dependency columns, formula columns, time tracking, and all of that stuff. Now, if you go for a lower version like the $10 per seat per month version, you're going to get a few different new boards, but there's not going to be anything that is really that special on the basic plus version of Monday. Now, if we take a look at Asana, however, the premium version is pretty good, and the business version is good, but I find that the business version is slightly overpriced at $25, where you only get portfolios, goals, workload, custom rule builders, forms, and branching, customization, approvals, proofing, and a lot of custom fields. So although there are some key features you might want to go for with the business version, I find that most of the stuff is pretty standard and you can easily do all of that stuff with a workaround on the premium version of Asana. So which is the better project management software? It really just depends on your personal preference. I would say that Asana is the better one in terms of usability and pricing, but monday.com is pretty good for those people that like to focus on small and tiny details. So that was it for today.
