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.
