Jira vs Asana

Jira leads overall; Asana owns the first-pick and breadth game. Jira holds the top rank on Visibility Score, but the gap is razor-thin at 2 points, and almost all of that lead traces to Claude, where Jira scores 74 against Asana's 62.1. Asana outperforms on ChatGPT and Gemini, wins four of eight question themes including 'If you could pick one' and 'Startup & small team', and gets named in 79% of answers versus Jira's 72%. Jira's edge is real but narrow: strip out Claude and Asana is the stronger signal across the rest of the model mix.
