Frequently asked questions
Is Asana or Monday.com better for creative teams?
Asana covers more of the workflow out of the box (4 of the 8 capabilities we track fully included, vs 3), but the right pick depends on which capabilities your team actually uses. The comparison table above shows exactly where they differ.
How much do Asana and Monday.com cost?
asana's free Personal plan covers up to 2 users (100MB max per file); paid plans start at Starter $10.99/user/mo billed annually ($13.49 monthly), and Advanced at $24.99/user/mo annually ($30.49 monthly) — with proofing, AI Studio credits, and native time tracking gated to the upper tiers. Monday.com's free plan caps you at 2 seats, 3 boards, and 3 docs; paid plans start at Basic $9/seat/mo (annual, $10 monthly), Standard $12, and Pro $19 — but every paid plan carries a 3-seat minimum and sells seats in multiples of 5 above that, so the real floor is ~$27/mo on Basic even for a solo user, and AI runs on a metered credit budget (1,000/2,000/3,000 credits per month by tier).
