Best fit
Who each tool is for
Asana
Strong ChoiceBest 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.
Loom
Strong ChoiceBest for: Consultants onboarding clients, explaining deliverables, or replacing status update meetings.
Why pick it: A 3-minute Loom replaces a 30-minute meeting. View tracking shows you which clients watched and which need a nudge.
Watch for: If your clients prefer live interaction for everything, async video adds friction instead of removing it.
