    Choose Hive

    You manage multiple projects in parallel. You want flexible views (Gantt, Kanban, etc).

    Watch out

    Asana logo

    Choose Asana

    You manage a team of 2 or more and need shared timelines, automation and reporting beyond a simple task list.

    • The Advanced tier, which unlocks portfolios and goals, has a 2-seat purchase minimum, so a true solo user cannot access it alone.
    • Enterprise pricing is quote-only, so budgeting beyond Advanced requires contacting sales.
