Claude vs Tana

Claude is an AI assistant built by Anthropic to help users with work. It is available on web, Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, Linux, through an API and as an extension. Claude can search the web, accept file uploads, create and edit spreadsheets, presentations, Word documents and PDFs, and analyze data using code execution. It can also create and share documents, dashboards, diagrams and interactive tools as artifacts; artifact storage is limited to 20 MB and text only. Connectors can link Claude with services including Asana, Linear, Notion, PayPal, Square, Plaid, Intercom, Zapier and Workato. Research, available on paid plans, runs multiple searches and returns answers with citations. Usage limits reset on a rolling five-hour window, and paid plans have additional weekly limits; usage also varies by conversation length, model and features. The Free plan includes limited usage and up to five projects. Pro costs $20 a month or $17 a year, billed $200 up front. Team plans add central billing and administration; Enterprise includes further access controls.

Tana is an agentic meeting platform that proposes work during native video calls. Its AI can file issues, draft follow-up emails, update a CRM, and log decisions while a meeting is taking place. Tana says calls are captured locally from the user’s computer, so no bot appears as a participant in Zoom, Teams, or Google Meet. Each proposed issue, email, CRM update, or decision is presented for a person to accept, edit, or dismiss. Listed integrations include Google Calendar, Outlook, GitHub, Linear, Jira, Slack, HubSpot, Pipedrive, Claude, Cursor, Codex, GitHub Copilot, Lovable, and MCP. Its MCP server and API let tools and agents read and write a workspace, with proposal review matching the built-in AI process. Tana offers web access and desktop apps for Mac, Windows, and Linux, but no mobile apps are listed. The Free plan includes five meetings per month, one calendar, and 50 AI queries. Paid plans start at $30/user/mo, and a 30-day trial is listed.
