Creator: Broadcastwell
License: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

Of 150 answers about project management, 97 named Asana and 13 named Airtable. There was no question where Airtable was named and Asana was not. All five engines named Airtable at least once.

Asana is the most named checked vendor in project management in this release, so every other vendor in the category is compared with it.

One capture on 22 September 2026 and 23 September 2026, ten fixed questions, three runs per engine. Not a ranking, and an engine can answer differently on a refresh.

Measured head to head

No question in this release asked the engines to choose between Airtable and Asana; the counts above come from the ten buyer questions.

What the engines said about each

Airtable if your spreadsheet is also an operational database.

ChatGPT, 22 September 2026. Full answer text in the deposit.

Asana would be my default pick for a cross-functional team, especially one combining marketing, operations, product, and other business functions.

ChatGPT, 22 September 2026. Full answer text in the deposit. Dash punctuation normalized.

One sentence per engine at most, chosen by a fixed rule: the first full sentence naming a checked vendor, read in run order. Every answer in full: DOI 10.5281/zenodo.22907695.

What to do with this

Airtable claims its record, free, and runs the free check on its own name. The widest gap is on “What is the best project management software for a cross-functional team?”: that is the question to fix with Answer Repair, $490.
Asana claims its record, free: claim the Asana record.
Buyers: both figures are observed answers on stated dates, not a ranking. Ask each vendor for a dated record.

Free 10-question check (one engine)

No email is needed; runs are limited per network and per day, and by the site's daily allowance.

Claim or correct this record

Fix one answer, $490 Answer Repair: one source-backed page or fix for one agreed buyer question, due 48 elapsed hours after recorded Ready. Agency Deadline Audit, $490 per client report. Both carry the published full-refund terms.
