monday.com is a work management platform that teams use to plan work, track progress, and keep updates in one shared workspace. This page covers the Work Management plans shown on the vendor pricing page, so the figures below do not describe the vendor’s separately priced CRM, development, or service products.
Who it fits — and who it does not fit
It fits teams that want a visual way to organise tasks, projects, and day-to-day work, and that are comfortable setting up boards, columns, and views to match how they already work. The vendor presents it for project management, marketing, sales, product, and operations work, and for managers who need a shared view of deadlines, owners, and status. Small teams can start on the free plan, while larger teams that need more seats, automations, and controls will usually look at the paid plans.
It does not fit teams that want a ready-made system with no setup, or that need only a simple personal task list, because the core value sits in setting up boards and views. It also does not fit teams that need the vendor’s separate CRM or development products, which are priced separately.
Key features
- Boards with multiple views, including Kanban, Gantt, calendar, timeline, table, and form views, with colour-coded status, owner, date, and priority columns.
- Dashboards that pull figures from several boards into one view, with more dashboard capacity on the higher plans.
- Automations that move items, send notices, and change status when set conditions are met, with more automation actions and integrations on the higher plans.
- Integrations with tools such as Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Drive, Zoom, Salesforce, HubSpot, Jira, Outlook, Gmail, and Dropbox, with 200+ integrations listed by the vendor.
- Documents and collaborative working tools, including monday workdocs, which are included on the Standard plan and above, with guest access and private boards on those plans.
- Time tracking, formulas, and item-level permissions on the higher plans, with guest access and private boards on the Standard plan and above.
- AI features described by the vendor, including AI blocks, AI credits on the Pro and Enterprise plans, and AI features on the Standard plan and above.
- Enterprise controls on the Enterprise plan, including advanced security, audit logs, single sign-on, and multi-level permissions.
Pricing
The vendor’s pricing page shows Work Management prices in US dollars, per seat per month, when billed annually. The prices below are the starting prices shown for each plan on that page. “Starting at” here means the lowest price shown for the plan at the billing period stated, before any change in seat count, add-ons, or billing choice.
| Plan | Price | Billing |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 per seat per month | No billing period stated |
| Basic | $9 per seat per month | Billed annually |
| Standard | $12 per seat per month | Billed annually |
| Pro | $19 per seat per month | Billed annually |
| Enterprise | Custom pricing | Not stated |
Prices on the vendor pricing page. Monthly billing prices, where the vendor offers them, were shown as separate figures on the page checked, and the vendor states that prices are per seat. A minimum seat count for paid plans was not stated on the page checked, so it is not stated here.
Prices can change — confirm the current price on the vendor’s website before deciding.

The length of that trial was not stated on the pages checked, and the credit-card position for the trial was not stated on the pages checked, so neither is claimed here. No separate demo booking route was stated on the pages checked; readers who want a guided walkthrough should use the vendor’s contact and trial routes and confirm the trial length and card position before starting.

Pros and Cons
Pros
- A free plan exists for up to 2 seats, so a very small team can try the core boards without paying.
- Many views of the same work — Kanban, Gantt, calendar, timeline, and table — are included, which helps teams that track the same work in different ways.
- The pricing page is clear about what rises by plan, including automations, integrations, storage, and dashboard capacity, so a buyer can see why a higher plan costs more.
- Higher plans add controls that larger teams need, including 24/7 support, advanced permissions, and single sign-on.
Cons
- Key features are held back by plan: documents, time tracking, formulas, and wider automations are not on the lowest plans, so the cheapest paid plan may not cover a team’s needs.
- The free plan is narrow, with up to 3 boards and limited views, storage, and items, so it is not a full test of the paid plans.
- The trial length and credit-card position were not stated on the pages checked, so a reader cannot tell from this page how long a trial lasts or whether a card is needed.
- Deployment, device, and language details were not stated on the pages checked, so teams with fixed requirements in those areas must confirm them with the vendor.
