Which one should you pick?
Pick Asana if
You’re building around structured podcast workflows. Asana hits the structured-but-not-suffocating middle ground for podcast workflows. Free Personal tier covers 2 users, which limits its solo-team usefulness post-2025.
Pick Foyer if
You’re building around premium-feel guest portals. Foyer is built as a secure client portal for accountants and consultants, not for podcasters specifically, but it works surprisingly well as a branded guest hub if you want to look the part. For most shows it's overkill — a Google Drive folder and a Tally form will do the same job for free.
