Overview

monday.com overview: who it is for and what it does.

monday.com organises work on customisable boards that can be viewed as tables, timelines, calendars and more. Independent pricing guides describe a free plan for up to two seats, paid Basic, Standard and Pro plans priced per seat, and a quote-based Enterprise plan.

Each paid tier adds named capabilities. Standard is reported to add timeline and calendar views, guest access and 250 automation actions a month; Pro adds time tracking, formula columns and 25,000 automations a month and includes monday's AI features; Enterprise adds governance, security and scale on a custom quote with a minimum 12-month term.

Buyers should note the paid-plan minimum of three seats, which affects very small teams, and that monday CRM, monday dev and monday service are priced separately from Work Management. Published prices differ slightly between sources, so confirm current figures with monday.com.

Scope: This profile covers monday.com Work Management. monday CRM, monday dev and monday service are separate products with their own pricing.
