| Pricing | Essential $9 per user/month billed yearly (monthly card on the same page showed $10) · free tier: Free 14-day trial, no credit card required, cancel any time. No permanent free plan published. | USD $12/seat/month billed annually (Basic; list $18 monthly) · free tier: None — 14-day trial only; nonprofits may qualify for free or discounted access |
| Pricing model | Subscription (per-seat) | Subscription (per seat, tiered; AI credits bundled) |
| Best for | A 10–200 person agency, consultancy or IT services firm that bills time and wants utilisation, delivery and per-project profitability in one system, with an operations owner willing to invest in configuration. | SMB teams of 3–40 in professional services, marketing/creative agencies, real estate or IT services that want a visually driven, self-configurable pipeline running within days — especially teams already on monday work management. Budget for Pro at $28/seat/mo, not the $12 headline. |
| Avoid if | You want a lightweight task tracker, run non-billable internal teams, are a pure-retainer or PR shop, need out-of-hours support, or must fix total cost of ownership before speaking to sales. | You are a solo founder or two-person team (3-seat minimum), need mass email or sequences on a budget, depend on responsive vendor support, require a permanently free tier, must fully disable AI assistants for client confidentiality, or are a large enterprise wanting proven CRM depth, HIPAA outside a quote-only tier and published pricing. |

A higher TOP SCORE means more of the evidence favours that platform on this methodology — it is not a recommendation, and it does not account for your specific requirements. Advertisers are never declared the winner of a comparison.
