Best fit
Who each tool is for
Asana
Strong ChoiceBest for: Consultants managing multi-phase engagements with multiple stakeholders.
Why pick it: Strong free tier (up to 10 users) covers most solo and small-team needs. Portfolio view lets you track all client engagements in one place.
Watch for: If your projects are simple (3-5 tasks), a shared Notion doc is lighter. Asana shines when you have 10+ tasks with dependencies and deadlines.
Beehiiv
DefaultBest for: Consultants building thought leadership through newsletters with built-in growth and monetization features.
Why pick it: Referral programs and a recommendations network grow your list organically. Monetization — paid subscriptions, an ad network, and digital products — lets you earn from your newsletter directly. And it now consolidates newsletter, website, and podcast in one place.
Watch for: If you need advanced automation and CRM-style segmentation, Kit (ConvertKit) or ActiveCampaign offer deeper workflow builders.
