What monday.com is

Teams use it to plan projects, track client work and manage content calendars, with automations and integrations to move work along.

Yearly billing includes an 18% discount compared with monthly billing. monday.com’s pricing page shows the yearly prices; it doesn’t list the per-seat price for monthly billing, so check the toggle at checkout. Prices vary by billing country and exclude tax.
