Their Pitch

From managing work, to doing the work for you.

Our Take

It's a visual project management tool with automations that replaces your messy spreadsheets and endless email chains.

Deep Dive & Reality Check

Used For

  • +**Your marketing team wastes 15 hours/week chasing status updates via email** → Automated boards cut that to 3 hours with visual dashboards everyone actually checks
  • +**Sales leads get lost in inbox chaos and follow-ups are forgotten** → CRM pipelines with automated sequences boost deal closure by 40%
  • +**You're manually juggling team schedules and constantly overbook people** → Workload views catch conflicts before they happen, saving 8 hours/week on firefighting
  • +27+ view types including Gantt, Kanban, and Timeline - switch perspectives without rebuilding your workflow
  • +No-code automations handle repetitive stuff - status changes trigger emails, assignments, and notifications automatically

Best For

  • >Your team is drowning in spreadsheet chaos and missed deadlines
  • >You need something visual that non-tech people won't hate
  • >Tried Trello but outgrew it, tried Jira but it's overkill

Not For

  • -Teams under 10 people — you'll pay for seats you don't need and features you won't use
  • -Tech teams wanting custom logic and deep integrations — this is built for visual thinkers, not coders
  • -Anyone on a tight budget — the automation limits hit fast and add-ons double your costs

Pairs With

  • *Slack (where automation notifications land and team members complain about mandatory field updates)
  • *Google Drive (for file storage since Monday's attachment limits are stingy)
  • *HubSpot (for serious CRM features that Monday's sales tools can't handle)
  • *Zapier (to connect Monday to the 47 other tools it doesn't integrate with natively)
  • *Microsoft Excel (where finance exports Monday data because executives want "real" spreadsheets)
  • *Mailchimp (for actual email marketing since Monday's email tools are basic)

The Catch

  • !You'll blow through the 250 automation limit on Basic plan within weeks if your team is active
  • !Boards start lagging badly once you hit 5,000+ items, forcing an expensive upgrade
  • !The mobile app is glitchy for forms and file attachments — you'll be stuck using desktop more than expected

Bottom Line

The colorful cousin of boring project management tools that actually makes tracking work feel less like punishment.
