In short

monday.com suits teams of three or more who want flexible boards and are happy to pay per seat: five seats on Basic cost 45 euros a month, billed yearly1. Planning views arrive on Standard and dependencies and time tracking on Pro1. The catch is that the free plan stops at 2 seats, paid plans start at 3, and the pricing page does not show SAML single sign-on or a workload view1.

Best for: Teams that want customisable boards and can meet the 3-seat minimum.
