monday.com Pricing (2026): Free, Basic, Standard, Pro

monday.com pricing is per seat, and the tiers differ less in what the boards look like than in views, automation allowances and storage. The free plan is capped hard, so most teams land on a paid tier within a week of serious use.

We compared monday.com's pricing page, help center articles and plan comparison pages. Prices were read from monday.com's own pages on 2026-10-20 and can change, so confirm the live numbers before you buy.

Below you will find a plan table, notes on the trial and the free plan, and advice on which tier fits a freelancer, a small team or a larger department. This guide covers the work management product; monday CRM, monday dev and monday service are priced separately.

monday.com plans and what they include

Figures below come from monday.com’s pricing page and help center as read on 2026-10-20. Paid prices are per seat per month billed annually, for the work management product.

Monthly billing costs more per seat. We print only the annual figures because they are the ones we could read clearly.

What the free plan covers

The Free plan is aimed at freelancers and individuals. With two seats and three boards it works for a personal project list, but the missing automations and integrations mean every status change is manual. A team that wants to see work on a timeline will outgrow it quickly. If you mainly need a place for notes, our best note-taking app guide may fit better.

Basic versus Standard versus Pro

Basic is the cheapest paid tier and mainly lifts the free limits: more boards, unlimited viewers and more storage. Standard is where the product starts to behave like project management, with timeline and Gantt views, limited guest access for clients and a first allowance of automations and integrations. Pro is built for heavier use: private boards, time tracking and automation allowances 100 times larger than Standard’s.

The gap that matters is automation. At 250 actions a month, Standard suits a team with a few simple rules, such as notifying someone when a status changes. A team running many rules across many boards can hit that ceiling.

Trial and cancellation

monday.com mentions a 14-day free trial, and its help center says the trial runs on the Pro plan. Use it to test the features you plan to pay for, because Pro is the most capable self-serve tier. We did not find a clear refund policy in the pages we could read, so check the terms at checkout.

Counting seats

Because pricing is per seat, the real cost is the plan price times the number of people who need an account. Viewers are unlimited on paid tiers, which helps when many people only need to read boards. For comparison with a similar tool, see our Asana pricing guide, and our best project management software roundup covers the wider field. Sales teams weighing a pipeline tool should note that monday CRM is a separate product, and our best CRM for small business comparison covers that side. Teams that connect many apps may also compare automation tools in our Zapier pricing guide.

Which plan fits whom

Freelancer. Free is enough for a handful of personal boards. Move to Basic only if you hit the board or storage cap.

Small team of 5 to 20. Standard is the realistic baseline. Timeline views, guest access and a first automation allowance cover most team projects.

Department or agency. Pro earns its price when you need private boards, time tracking and large automation volumes. Ask for an Enterprise quote if you need security and admin features beyond the published plans.
