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 to-do list. The vendor states nothing on the pages checked about suitability for highly regulated work, for very small one-person use beyond the two-seat free plan, or for teams that do not want to build and maintain their own boards. If a team needs a fixed, ready-to-use workflow and does not want to spend time configuring views and automations, the setup work described by the vendor may be a poor match.
Key features
- Boards with multiple views, including Kanban, Gantt, calendar, timeline, table, and form views, so the same work can be seen in different layouts.
- 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 monthly automation actions that rise by plan.
- Integrations with tools such as Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Drive, Zoom, Salesforce, HubSpot, Jira, Outlook, Gmail, Excel, and Dropbox, with the number of integrations rising by plan.
- Documents and collaborative working tools, including monday workdocs, which are included on the Standard plan and above.
- 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-assisted project and task handling on the vendor’s project management pages.
- 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 | Up to 2 seats |
| Basic | $9 per seat/month | Billed annually |
| Standard | $12 per seat/month | Billed annually |
| Pro | $19 per seat/month | Billed annually |
| Enterprise | Custom pricing | Contact the vendor |
Prices checked on November 3, 2026, on the vendor pricing page. Monthly billing prices, where the vendor offers them, were not 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.
Free demo and free trial
The vendor offers a free plan for up to 2 seats, with up to 3 boards and a limited set of document, view, and storage features. The pricing page also offers a “Try for free” route for the paid plans, and the vendor’s project management page offers a free trial start. 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.
Specifications
- Deployment: not stated on the pages checked. The vendor describes monday.com as a workspace used through a browser-based service, but the pages checked do not state deployment, hosting, or installation details in those terms.
- Devices: not stated on the pages checked. The vendor’s pages do not list supported devices or operating systems on the pages checked.
- Integrations: Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Drive, Zoom, Salesforce, HubSpot, Jira, Outlook, Gmail, Excel, and Dropbox are named on the pricing page, with wider integration access on higher plans.
- Support: 24/7 support is listed for the Pro and Enterprise plans on the pricing page. Support for the Free, Basic, and Standard plans is not described in the same terms on the page checked.
- Languages: not stated on the pages checked.
- Security and access: private boards, item permissions, single sign-on, audit logs, and advanced security features are listed mainly for the higher plans, as set out in the pricing comparison.
Strengths and limits
Strengths
- 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 different roles read the same plan in the way that suits them.
- The pricing page is clear about what rises by plan, including automations, integrations, storage, and dashboard capacity, which makes it easier to compare plans.
- Higher plans add controls that larger teams need, including 24/7 support, advanced permissions, single sign-on, and audit logs on Enterprise.
Limits
- Key features are held back by plan: documents, time tracking, formulas, and wider automations are not on every plan, so the lowest 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 version of the paid plans.
- The trial length and credit-card position were not stated on the pages checked, so a reader cannot confirm from those pages 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 ask the vendor directly.
Alternatives
Other project management tools readers may compare include Asana, Trello, ClickUp, and Smartsheet, named here as plain text only. For other tools in this category, see the project management software hub.
