Hops vs Asana: three big differences

  • No seat fees, and fewer tools to pay for
    Hops has no seat fees, so every team can join without waiting for a license. Docs, slides, dashboards, tables and project tracking come built in, so you can cut seats in other tools.
    With Asana

    Asana charges per user, and AI Teammates are available on paid plans, with a set number of AI requests each month.

  • Your whole project, in one place
    Your team and Hops plan, write and build in the same workspace, so the work stays in one version. What one person teaches Hops, everyone on the team can use.
    With Asana

    Asana has projects, pages, dashboards, forms and team messages, and AI Teammates work on the same plan as your team. Slide decks and apps your team builds together live in other tools.

  • Keep private data private, even in team threads
    Hops uses only what the person asking has been granted. If an answer draws on something others in the thread can't see, Hops holds it until the person who asked approves.
    With Asana

    Asana says every agent has its own identity, scoped permissions and an audit trail.

Hops isn’t another chatbot connected to your company. It’s a place to run your business. We started with hiring, and instead of fitting into an off-the-shelf applicant tracking system, we can build the workflow around how we actually work.
