## Comparisons

UrbanPlanning.app vs generic project management tools (Asana, Monday, Trello): Those tools are not built for planning workflows. UrbanPlanning.app includes plan checks, conditions of approval, zoning reference, permit tracking, and a client portal — features specific to urban planning that generic tools cannot provide.
