- ClickUp recommended
ClickUp - Best value, and the best free tier by a wide margin - unlimited tasks and users, multiple views, basic docs.

Linear - If you're a software team, this is what I'd name before Jira.
- Jira recommended

- Basecamp recommended
Basecamp - Worth naming for one reason: it's built around async, low-noise communication (message boards, automatic check-ins) and charges flat-rate rather than per-seat.

Notion - I'd use this alongside one of the above, not instead of one.
- Zoho recommended
Zoho Projects - The cheapest fully-featured option at about $4/user/mo annually.

The answer, as recorded
Here's what I'd actually recommend, roughly in the order I'd suggest you try them: **1. Asana** - My default recommendation for most remote teams. It has the clearest task hierarchy (portfolios → projects → tasks → subtasks), which matters a lot when you can't just walk over and ask someone what "done" means. Strong async-friendly features: task-level comment threads, @mentions, status updates that roll up automatically. Starts around $10.99/user/mo annually. Weakest spot is that it's not great as a knowledge base. **2. Monday.com** - Pick this over Asana if your team is visual and you want fast setup. Boards are color-coded and very legible at a glance, automations are easy to build without a specialist, and it integrates cleanly with Slack and Zoom. ~$9/user/mo annually. It's the safest "we just need something that works next week" choice. **3. ClickUp** - Best value, and the best free tier by a wide margin - unlimited tasks and users, multiple views, basic docs. If your team is under about 10 people and budget-sensitive, start here. Paid is ~$7/user/mo. The tradeoffs are real though: steep learning curve and recurring complaints about performance/sluggishness, which is more annoying when people are on varied home connections. **4. Linear** - If you're a software team, this is what I'd name before Jira. Fast, opinionated, keyboard-driven, and the cycle/triage model fits distributed engineering well. Less flexible outside of product work. **5. Jira** - Still the right answer for larger engineering and DevOps orgs specifically: sprint planning, issue tracking, and deep developer tool integration. Overkill and frustrating for marketing or ops teams. **6. Basecamp** - Worth naming for one reason: it's built around async, low-noise communication (message boards, automatic check-ins) and charges flat-rate rather than per-seat. Good fit for small remote teams who find the other tools too busy. **7. Notion** - I'd use this *alongside* one of the above, not instead of one. It's excellent for docs, decisions, and institutional memory - which remote teams desperately need - but it genuinely lacks real PM features like Gantt charts, workload views, and resource planning. ~$10/user/mo. **8. Zoho Projects** - The cheapest fully-featured option at about $4/user/mo annually. Name it if cost is the binding constraint, especially if you're already in the Zoho ecosystem. My honest shortcut: trial **Asana** and **Monday.com** side by side for two weeks with one real project in each, and add **Notion** for documentation. That covers the large majority of remote teams.
