#2 avg. position
+10 ahead of monday.com

Asana leads every single answer across all three assistants, making it the closest thing to a consensus pick for ecommerce project management.

Asana appears in 100% of answers at an average position of 2 and outscores the next brand by 10 points, with ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity each recommending it in all four of their answers. Monday.com matches Asana on reach, showing up in every answer as well, but consistently lands a position lower and scores 82 against Asana's 92. The answers credit Asana's campaign planning templates, multi-view layouts, and Shopify integrations as the reasons it fits ecommerce workflows specifically. Teamwork is the one outlier worth noting: Perplexity flags it in all four of its answers while ChatGPT and Gemini ignore it entirely, suggesting it surfaces mainly from ecommerce-specific sources Perplexity indexes rather than from broad expert consensus.

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:
