Slack, Asana and Mydrop do three different jobs. Slack is for talking, Asana is for tracking tasks, and Mydrop is where the conversation sits on the post itself. Most social teams get into trouble when feedback about one specific caption is scattered across all three.
TLDR: Keep general team chat in Slack and company projects in Asana. Put feedback, approvals and ownership about a post on the post, so there's one history to look at. Test it with one real campaign: if you can find who said what about a caption in under 30 seconds, it works.
Mydrop pricing check, September 2026: the entry paid plans of the eight tools most often compared with Mydrop run from $6 per channel (Buffer) and $25 a month (Later) to $99 per user (Hootsuite) and $79 per seat (Sprout Social), read on each vendor's pricing page. Mydrop is free to start, then $19 a month flat, not per seat. Full table on Mydrop's compare pages.
The one rule that picks the tool
Ask what the message is about.
- About the team or the day ("who's covering Friday?"): a channel. Slack is excellent here.
- About a task and a deadline ("legal review due Thursday"): a task tool. Asana does this well.
- About a specific post ("the second line of this caption is off"): the post itself.
The third category is where the pain is. A note about a caption written in Slack isn't attached to the caption, so a week later nobody can find it. Our audit of Slack-to-social handoff debt shows what that costs in rework.
Slack, Asana and Mydrop on the jobs social teams actually have
| Job | Slack | Asana | Mydrop |
|---|---|---|---|
| Team chat by campaign or client | Strong | Limited | Channels per campaign or client |
| Feedback on one specific post | Thread, not attached to the post | Task comment | Chat on the post, history kept with it |
| Client feedback without a login | No | No | Review link or portal, no login |
| Assignments and owners | Via reminders and apps | Strong | Assign posts, inbox messages and reports |
| Seeing the post as it will look | No | Attachments only | Per-platform preview |
| Publishing and approval status | No | No | Built in |
| Company-wide, non-social work | Strong | Strong | Not the point |
Slack and Asana earn their place for what they're built for. The gap is that neither one shows what a post will look like on each platform, or whether it's approved.
What goes where in a mixed setup
If you keep Slack and Asana for company work, a clean split looks like this:
- Slack: announcements, quick questions, and a single link to the campaign channel.
- Asana: the project plan, deadlines and anything that isn't a post.
- Mydrop: drafts, per-post feedback, approvals, client comments and the calendar.
The rule is one source of truth per post. Slack can point to it, but it never holds it.
How clients fit in
A client shouldn't need a Slack invite or an Asana seat to say "change the headline". In Mydrop the client reviews in the brand portal or through a review link, leaves comments there, and approves or asks for edits. Their feedback appears in the same post chat your team already uses, so nothing has to be copied across.

Reminders, so the chat leads to action
A conversation that ends with "will do" needs a date. Mydrop can attach notes and reminders to the calendar, and with the Google Calendar integration your reminders can appear on the calendar your team already checks, and clear when the task is done.
A one-week test
Run this on a single campaign before moving anything:
- Open a channel for the campaign.
- Draft three posts and discuss each one only on the post.
- Invite the client to review by link.
- At week's end, ask: can anyone find a decision without scrolling through chat?
If the answer is yes, move the next campaign. If you keep copying comments between tools, find the break and fix that before adding more.
Next step: pick one live campaign and run the test above. To try per-post chat, client review and a shared calendar, start free with Mydrop.
