Best fit
Best for: Consultants managing multi-phase engagements with multiple stakeholders.
Why pick it: Strong free tier (up to 10 users) covers most solo and small-team needs. Portfolio view lets you track all client engagements in one place.
Watch for: If your projects are simple (3-5 tasks), a shared Notion doc is lighter. Asana shines when you have 10+ tasks with dependencies and deadlines.
Best for: Solo consultants and freelancers who want fast proposal-to-signature flow.
Why pick it: Fastest path from blank page to signed proposal. Built-in payment collection (Stripe, PayPal) means you can collect deposits on the same page.
Watch for: Limited contract management features. If you need separate contracts with legal clauses, pair with PandaDoc or use Bonsai instead.
