When to use Asana

Pick Asana when you have 50+ people on a project and you need approvals, custom fields, time tracking, and structured reporting. Enterprise process is the feature.

When to use Hilla

Pick Hilla when you're three people or fewer and you want to ship, not configure. Asana's strengths become friction at small scale. Hilla starts with a sentence and a plan — no setup, no field configuration, no admin overhead.
