What the free tier actually allows
- The Free plan is $0 and the page calls it free forever.
- It is limited to 2 seats.
- It allows up to 3 boards and up to 3 Docs, with 200+ templates, 8 column types and the iOS and Android apps.
- AI features are listed as available from Basic, so the Free plan shows none.
- The page also offers a 14-day free trial of the Pro plan, and says no credit card is needed to start.
What the pricing page does not say
- Seats are sold in fixed team sizes. The selector lists 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 100 and 200+ seats, and the page's FAQ says plans start from 3 users. The page offers no size in between.
- At 20 seats the totals on the page are higher than 20 times the per seat rate. Basic billed annually shows a total of $190 a month, where 20 x $9 = $180. Standard shows $260 (20 x $12 = $240) and Pro shows $410 (20 x $19 = $380). At 3, 5 and 10 seats the totals equal seats times rate.
- Standard and Pro on yearly billing carry a Special offer label at 3, 5 and 10 seats: $20 off a month on Standard and $30 off a month on Pro, with a higher crossed-out total beside it. The page does not say when the offer ends.
- Paying monthly costs 33% more on Basic ($12 against $9), 17% more on Standard ($14 against $12) and 26% more on Pro ($24 against $19).
- Yearly plans are paid in one upfront installment for the whole year.
- Automations and integrations start on Standard and are capped at 250 actions per month each. Pro raises both to 25,000 actions per month.
- AI runs on monthly credits: 1,000 on Basic, 2,000 on Standard and 3,000 on Pro. The page says more can be purchased and gives no price for them.
- Prices do not include tax, and the page says the price is determined by the billing country.
What a team pays for monday.com
monday.com cost depends on the plan, the team size picked in the selector and the billing period. The figures below are the monthly totals the pricing page itself showed on 5 Oct 2026, before tax, with the yearly cost worked from them.
| Team size | Plan | Billed annually | Billed monthly |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 seats | Basic | $27 a month, x 12 = $324 a year | $36 a month |
| 3 seats | Standard | $36 a month, x 12 = $432 a year | $42 a month |
| 3 seats | Pro | $57 a month, x 12 = $684 a year | $72 a month |
| 5 seats | Basic | $45 a month, x 12 = $540 a year | $60 a month |
| 5 seats | Standard | $60 a month, x 12 = $720 a year | $70 a month |
| 5 seats | Pro | $95 a month, x 12 = $1,140 a year | $120 a month |
| 20 seats | Basic | $190 a month, x 12 = $2,280 a year | $252.50 a month |
| 20 seats | Standard | $260 a month, x 12 = $3,120 a year | $305 a month |
| 20 seats | Pro | $410 a month, x 12 = $4,920 a year | $517.50 a month |
One person, or two, can stay on the Free plan at $0. A solo user who needs a paid plan buys the smallest size on sale, which is 3 seats.
The 20 seat row does not equal 20 times the per seat rate shown on the same screen. Basic at $9 would be 20 x $9 = $180 a month, and the page shows $190. The page gives no reason, so the purchase page is the place to confirm the total before paying.
