monday is a board-based work management platform for tasks, projects and workflows, with an AI assistant called Sidekick, AI agents and an AI meeting notetaker built into its paid plans. Pricing is sold in seat buckets starting at a minimum of 3 seats, so what decides whether it suits you is how many seats you need and how much of the AI credit allowance on the entry plan your team will use.
What is monday?
monday is a board-based work management platform for tasks, projects and workflows. It runs on the web, with desktop apps for Windows and Mac, and mobile apps for iOS and Android, and an account can be set to any of 15 languages.
Managing work in monday
Boards can be viewed as a table, timeline, Gantt chart, calendar or dashboard, with a form available as one of the standard board view types. The free plan includes up to 3 Docs for real-time collaboration. Automations start on the Standard plan, with 3 workflows and 250 actions a month. Portfolio management, which connects projects into one view with their health, is on the Enterprise plan, and time tracking is on Pro.
monday's AI assistant, Sidekick, is built directly into monday.com and connects to your work data and apps through natural conversation. It can create workflows, automations, dashboards and forms from a request, and generate project plans, strategic documents, reports, decks and visuals. An AI agent workforce is included from Basic, though limited there, with Research Agents, Reporting Agents, Insights Agents, Meeting Assistants, Process Optimizers and the option to create your own agent. The AI credit allowance is 1,000 credits a month across 3 tools on Basic, 2,000 credits a month on Standard, and 3,000 credits a month on Pro. An AI meeting notetaker that joins Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Google Meet automatically, and also captures in-person meetings without a bot, is included from the Standard plan.
Working with other people
Guests are included from the Standard plan: the first 3 guests on an account are free, and every additional group of 4 guests counts as one paid seat. The Basic plan does not include guest access at all.
monday integrates with tools including Slack, Gmail, Google Calendar, Outlook, Microsoft Teams, Salesforce, Quickbooks and HubSpot. A public API with reference documentation is available, and monday also runs its own remote MCP server, connecting through OAuth, for outside AI tools.
monday pricing: what each plan gives
The Free plan costs $0 and is free forever for up to 2 seats, with up to 3 boards, up to 3 Docs, more than 200 templates and 8 column types. Signing up automatically starts a 14-day free trial of the Pro plan. Paid plans start at a minimum of 3 seats and then ascend in multiples of 5.
Basic costs $12 a seat a month ($9 a seat a month billed annually) and includes 3 AI tools with 1,000 AI credits a month, but no guest access and no automations. Standard costs $14 a seat a month ($12 a seat a month billed annually) and adds automations, guest access, the AI meeting notetaker and 2,000 AI credits a month. Pro costs $24 a seat a month ($19 a seat a month billed annually) and adds time tracking and 3,000 AI credits a month.
Privacy and security
monday never uses your data to train AI models. It holds SOC 1 Type 2, SOC 2 Type 2, SOC 3 and ISO/IEC 27001:2022, and its compliance programme covers the GDPR. Single sign-on with SAML is on the Enterprise plan.
Support runs through chat and a community forum.
Who monday suits
monday suits teams that want board-based project tracking with an AI assistant, AI agents and an AI meeting notetaker built into the paid plans, and that are comfortable with pricing sold in seat buckets starting at a minimum of 3 seats.
It suits less well very small teams just past the 2-seat free plan, since the cheapest paid plan requires at least 3 seats and does not include guest access, automations or the meeting notetaker.
