Warning: Monday.com is built for marketing & creative teams
Monday requires minimum 3 seats ($27/mo minimum). As a solopreneur, you'd pay for 2 ghost users every month - that's $324/year wasted on empty seats.
Overview
Monday.com started as a team management tool and evolved into a full Work OS used by 180,000+ customers including Coca-Cola, Universal, and Canva. It's famous for its highly visual, colorful interface with customizable boards that can represent any workflow. Monday offers products for work management, sales CRM, dev workflows, and service management - each sold separately. While the visual approach makes it accessible, the minimum 3-seat requirement and separate pricing for CRM make it expensive for solopreneurs. The platform excels at marketing and creative workflows where visual status tracking is valuable.
