What is monday.com?

monday.com is a work-management platform: a shared space where a team plans projects, assigns tasks and tracks progress. Work lives on boards, which look like colourful spreadsheets. Each row (an item) is a task, client or request, and each column holds a detail such as owner, status or deadline. The same board can be viewed as a timeline, Gantt chart, calendar or dashboard.

It is made by monday.com Ltd., founded in 2012 in Tel Aviv, launched as a product in 2014 and listed on Nasdaq since June 2021. The company says it has around 250,000 customers. Besides the core Work Management product reviewed here, it sells separate CRM, service-desk and software-development products built on the same platform.

What sets it apart is how much a non-technical team can build without help. Automations handle repetitive steps, such as notifying someone when a status changes. Integrations pull in data from tools like Slack, Gmail and Salesforce. On top sit AI features: the Sidekick assistant, AI agents, a meeting notetaker and a prompt-based app builder called vibe, all paid for with monthly AI credits.

Key features

• Boards, items and columns

  Every workflow starts with a board made of items (rows), groups and columns. Free gives you 8 column types; paid plans unlock more, and Pro adds advanced columns for dependencies and formulas. Because the structure is flexible, one tool can track projects, clients, hiring or stock.

• Views and dashboards

  Standard adds Timeline, Gantt and Calendar views of the same board, and Pro adds advanced chart views. Dashboards combine data from several boards so managers can see progress and workload at a glance, without asking for status updates.

• Automations

  Simple if-this-then-that rules move items, notify people or set dates for you. Basic has none; Standard includes 250 automation actions a month, Pro 25,000 and Enterprise up to 250,000. An action is one run of a rule, so busy boards use them up quickly.

• Integrations

  monday.com lists 850+ integrations and apps, including Slack, Microsoft Teams, Gmail, Outlook, Zoom, Salesforce, HubSpot, Jira and GitHub, plus Zapier and Make. Integration actions follow the same monthly limits as automations, starting on Standard. That lets updates flow between tools without copy-pasting.

• Sidekick AI assistant

  Sidekick is an assistant inside your account that can brainstorm, write, organise boards and do research using the data you can access. Each message costs roughly 10 to 150+ credits depending on complexity. It's included from Basic.

• AI meeting notetaker

  From Standard, the notetaker transcribes meetings, writes summaries and turns conversations into action items on your boards. It uses 120 AI credits per meeting hour, so Standard's 2,000 monthly credits cover about 16 hours if used for nothing else.

• AI agents and vibe app builder

  Agents are AI workers you set up with a prompt to handle tasks such as screening CVs or triaging requests, costing roughly 10 to 250+ credits per run. vibe builds custom business apps from a prompt. Both are aimed at automating work that used to need a developer.

• Docs and WorkForms

  monday workdocs let teams write plans and meeting notes next to the boards they relate to. WorkForms collect requests through a form and create a new board item for each one, so intake stays consistent. Free plans are limited to 3 docs.

• Permissions and enterprise controls

  Pro adds private boards and docs. Enterprise adds multi-level permissions, enterprise security, portfolio and resource management, 24/7 support and a 99.9% uptime SLA. These matter once many departments share one account and not everyone should see every board.

monday.com pricing explained

Priced per seat, from a minimum of 3 seats.

monday.com charges per seat, which means per member who can edit. Paid plans start at 3 seats, and on the pricing page you choose a team size rather than an exact head count. Viewers (read-only users) are free on paid plans. Billed yearly, Basic is $9 a seat a month, Standard $12 and Pro $19; billed monthly they are $12, $14 and $24. Yearly plans are paid upfront and monday.com describes the saving as 18%. Enterprise is quoted, typically for 40+ users.

The Free plan is free forever for up to 2 seats, 3 boards and 3 docs, with no AI features. Paid plans include AI credits each month: 1,000 on Basic, 2,000 on Standard and 3,000 on Pro. An AI credit is a unit charged when you trigger an AI tool; a meeting hour of notetaking costs 120, an AI block action costs 8. Many built-in AI helpers, such as writing updates or generating a board from a prompt, use no credits. If you need more, you can buy extra credit packs at any time.

The 14-day free trial covers the Pro plan. If you cancel a yearly subscription within 30 days of paying, monday.com refunds the remaining balance automatically; after that, downgrades are not refunded. Discounts are available for qualifying nonprofits. Payment is by major credit card (not debit) or PayPal, and prices exclude tax and depend on your billing country.

Per seat, billed monthly, in US dollars; minimum 3 seats. Billed yearly: Basic $9, Standard $12, Pro $19.
