Monday.com

Overview

Monday.com gives small business owners one place to manage tasks, projects, client work, and team communication. You build boards to organize any type of work, set up automations to handle repetitive steps, and connect the tools you already use through integrations. The free plan supports up to two seats with three boards and access to 200+ templates. Paid plans start at $9 per seat per month (billed annually) and unlock unlimited items, file storage, and dashboard views. The Standard plan at $12 per seat per month adds automation, integrations, timeline views, and guest access, which covers most small team needs. An AI assistant called Sidekick helps with tasks like drafting project plans, analyzing pipelines, and writing emails. Over 250,000 customers worldwide use the platform, and annual billing saves 18% versus monthly pricing.
