Head-to-head · September 2026 snapshot

Asana vs Notion

Asana leads overall; Notion owns startup and small-team picks. Asana's 59 visibility score clears Notion's 49 largely because ChatGPT, the model with the widest reach in this index, scores Asana at 75 against Notion's 39, and Asana sweeps the highest-stakes question themes including enterprise pick and best overall. Notion counters by winning Claude outright at 63 versus Asana's 58, and it converts 13% first-pick rate despite being named in only 64% of answers, suggesting Claude users who do reach for Notion put it at the top. The startup and small-team and feature-led questions remain Notion's territory, which is a real ceiling on how far Asana can push its narrative in those buyer conversations.
