Features and Functionality
Visually Pleasing, Easy-to-Use Boards
monday.com provides a comprehensive view of everything your team is working on by way of a series of boards. You can see who is working on what and seamlessly add tasks, rating them by importance and progress.

Check Your Pulse
Within monday.com, users can add new rows called “pulses” to any task board. These rows are fully searchable and can be anything from a new task or a meeting, a client or an appointment that needs to be taken care of. You can make them viewable by the entire team or just specific people. Within the pulses, you can @ specific employees so that they see the mentions in their email.
Drag and Drop it
When organizing your pulses on monday.com, you can easily use your mouse to drag and drop them wherever you need. This means that you can shift a task to a specific team or a different supervisor in an instant, or move them up on a certain list as priorities change. It’s quick, simple, and a big part of what makes using monday.com a breeze.

Dedicated customer success manager
For Enterprise users, monday.com supplies a dedicated customer success manager who can provide personal support for whatever issues you may have with the platform, and will be at your service 24/7.
Collaboration Tools
Bring your clients on-board
monday.com allows you to invite clients to work as guests and add their own input within the pulses. This boosts collaboration by including the client in the process, while reducing the number of emails and phone calls you receive.
Collaborate across each others boards
On monday.com, users can make comments or “like” posts within other employees’ pulses, which are sent in real time to make sure everyone is up to speed. These notifications can be sent to a mobile device and answered remotely, which streamlines communication even when employees are out of the office.
Integrations and collaborations
monday.com seamlessly integrates with a large number of apps and programs that can help your business stay on top of things. It can integrate with Google Drive and Google calendar, allowing you to upload any files from Drive and sync your Google calendar with your monday.com tasks. You can take your office Slack and turn messages into tasks on monday.com, and you can also upload files from Dropbox and import files from Excel. Other integrations include Trello, Asana, and Jira.

How much does it cost?
When it comes to the bottom line, how much you pay for monday.com will depend on how many employees you want to be able to use the system and which package you choose. One problematic aspect of monday.com’s pricing is that the prices are not specifically per person, rather, for 3, 5, 10, 15, 25, 30, 40, 50, 100, and 200+. In other words, if you don’t have a round, divisible by five number of users, for instance you have 12, then you’ll end up having to pay for the 15 users, or pay for 10 users and decide which two employees to leave out.
For anything over 40 users, you’ll have to get a custom quote. And typically the longer the better—a year-long plan saves you 18% over paying monthly.
