The answer, as recorded

For most remote teams I'd start with **Asana**. Which one is actually best depends on your team size and the kind of work you do, so here's the order I'd give: 1. **Asana**: The safest choice for mid-sized and larger teams running complex projects. It's strong on dependencies, portfolios and seeing across projects, and it added AI Studio in 2026. It does well in async work because each task clearly shows who owns it, when it's due and what's been said about it. ([Software Finder](https://softwarefinder.com/resources/trello-vs-asana-vs-monday-vs-clickup), [till-freitag.com](https://till-freitag.com/en/blog/best-project-management-tools)) 2. **Monday.com**: Best for teams that span several departments, like marketing, ops and sales, where each group wants its own workflow on one shared platform. It's very visual and adapts to almost any process. ([Productive.io](https://productive.io/blog/trello-vs-asana-vs-monday-vs-clickup/)) 3. **Linear**: If your team builds software, choose this over the others. It's fast and focused, and it was built for issue tracking without the leftover complexity of Jira. ([Deepak Gupta](https://guptadeepak.com/tools/top-10-project-management-tools-2026/)) 4. **ClickUp**: The most features for the money, and good for agencies juggling many clients and projects. The downside is that reviewers still report slow performance and a steep learning curve. ([Software Finder](https://softwarefinder.com/resources/trello-vs-asana-vs-monday-vs-clickup)) 5. **Trello**: Best for small teams or simple Kanban boards, because anyone can learn it in minutes. You'll outgrow it once you need dependencies, reporting or a view across projects. ([ProBackup](https://www.probackup.io/blog/asana-vs-trello-vs-monday-com-which-project-management-platform-is-right-for-you)) 6. **Wrike**: Suited to enterprises and agencies that need custom dashboards and workflows, with automation for each team. ([The Digital Project Manager](https://thedigitalprojectmanager.com/tools/project-management-tools-remote-teams/)) Also worth a look: - **GoodDay**: A generous free tier with unlimited projects for up to 15 users. ([GoodDay](https://www.goodday.work/blog/best-remote-work-management-software/)) - **Zoho Projects**: A good value if you already use Zoho. ([The Digital Project Manager](https://thedigitalprojectmanager.com/tools/remote-project-management-tools/)) - **Kanbanchi**: Worth considering if your team works mostly in Google Workspace or Microsoft 365. ([Kanbanchi](https://www.kanbanchi.com/blog/best-productivity-apps-for-remote-teams)) **Short version:** Software team → Linear. Small or simple team → Trello. Everyone else → Asana, or Monday.com if several departments need to share it.
