ClickUp wins the Asana-switcher question outright, landing first in every single answer across all 12 responses.

ClickUp holds a 97 slot score and averages position 1 in 100% of answers, with ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity all returning it first every time. monday.com is the only brand that matches its 100% mention rate, but it consistently lands at position 2, trailing ClickUp by a clear margin. The answers converge on a single reason for ClickUp's lead: breadth of built-in features (time tracking, docs, whiteboards, goals, AI) at a lower starting price than Asana, making it the obvious all-in-one pivot for teams leaving Asana. Jira appears in every answer at position 3, but the responses consistently position it as the right move only for engineering-heavy teams, limiting its broad appeal in this switching context.

Slot score is position-weighted, 0 to 100: being recommended first counts far more than a trailing mention. "Appears in" is the share of answers naming the brand at all.

How this was measured

ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini each answered this question in two phrasings, several times each, with live web access and citations: the closest API-reachable version of the real assistant experience (no personalization or account memory, which no vendor can provide). Model-memory answers (no web) are measured separately and shown above as a comparison surface. A brand counts once per answer that recommends it. The exact questions:

• "What is the best alternative to Asana?"
• "We're on Asana today but need something that fits us better. Which project management tool should we use?"
