What\u2019s more, this platform sells seats in fixed increments (3, 5, 10, 15, etc.), so if you have, say, 6 users, you\u2019re forced to pay for 10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">This can quickly make the tool feel overpriced for small and medium-size teams falling between those neat \u201cbundled\u201d numbers. Instead of a flexible pay-per-user model, you\u2019re stuck covering extra seats you don\u2019t need.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">What\u2019s more, monday.com has recently upgraded AI credits on its paid plans. The Basic plan got 1,000 AI credits, while the Standard and Pro plans require you to add AI credits and pay for them alongside your seats. So, there\u2019s no longer an option to pay for the seats only and use AI as an add-on if needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table translation-block\"><table><thead><tr><th><strong>monday.com plan<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>Monthly subscription&nbsp;<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>Yearly subscription<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Free (max. 2 seats)<\/td><td>$0<\/td><td>$0<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Basic (min. 3 seats)<\/td><td>$12\/seat\/month&nbsp;<\/td><td>$9\/seat\/month*<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Standard (min. 3 seats)<\/td><td>$14\/seat\/month + AI credits&nbsp;(2,000 AI credits\/month = $25;&nbsp;<br>4,000 AI credits\/month = $50;&nbsp;<br>8,000 AI credits\/month = $100)<\/td><td>$12\/seat\/month + AI credits(2,000 AI credits\/month = $20;&nbsp;<br>4,000 AI credits\/month = $40;&nbsp;<br>8,000 AI credits\/month = $80*)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Pro (min. 3 seats)<\/td><td>$24\/seat\/month + AI credits&nbsp;(3,000 AI credits\/month = $37.5;&nbsp;<br>4,000 AI credits\/month = $50;&nbsp;<br>8,000 AI credits\/month = $100;&nbsp;<br>20,000 AI credits\/month = $250)<\/td><td>$19\/seat\/month + AI credits(3,000 AI credits\/month = $30;&nbsp;<br>4,000 AI credits\/month = $40;&nbsp;<br>8,000 AI credits\/month = $80;&nbsp;<br>20,000 AI credits\/month = $200*)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Enterprise (min. 3 seats)<\/td><td>POA<\/td><td>POA<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">*seats and AI credits are billed annually<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">Unlike monday.com that offers a wealth of AI options and charges them extra on higher plans, Plaky is still focused on simple and straightforward project management without AI frills. This gives project managers full control over project organization and ensures higher reliability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">Moreover, <strong>Plaky doesn\u2019t impose a certain number of users on paid plans<\/strong>. You pay what you actually use, so solo users and small teams aren\u2019t punished with inflated costs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">What\u2019s equally important is that Plaky is <strong>notably cheaper than monday.com<\/strong>, making it a great choice for budget-conscious teams that prefer transparent workflows without AI bloats.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">With Plaky, scaling up is more natural \u2014 your costs rise predictably with your team size and advanced features the team needs, so financial planning is easier.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">As a cherry on top, you can opt for the <a href=\"https:\/\/cake.com\/bundle\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CAKE.com Bundle<\/a>, essentially getting 3 fully upgraded professional tools for the price of 1:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"translation-block\">Plaky \u2014 for efficient project management,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\">Clockify \u2014 for precise time tracking, and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\">Pumble \u2014 for smooth business communication.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table translation-block\"><table><thead><tr><th><strong>Plaky plan<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>Monthly subscription<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>Yearly subscription&nbsp;<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Free<\/strong><\/td><td>$0<\/td><td>$0<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Pro<\/strong><\/td><td>$4.99\/seat\/month<\/td><td>$3.99\/seat\/month*<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Enterprise&nbsp;<\/strong><\/td><td>$10.99\/seat\/month<\/td><td>$8.99\/seat\/month*<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>CAKE.com Bundle<\/strong><\/td><td>$15.99\/seat\/month<\/td><td>$12.99\/seat\/month*<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">*billed annually<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">\n<div class=\"banner banner-dark plaky-gradient-bundle\">\n    <div class=\"banner-text lg:pr-[6rem]\">\n        <h2 class=\"translation-block text-2xl !mb-4\">Improve your productivity with the CAKE.com Bundle!<\/h2>\n        <p class=\"translation-block !text-sm\">Get 3 fully upgraded professional tools and watch your team thrive!<\/p>\n\n        <div class=\"banner-buttons d-flex space-x-4 translation-block\">\n            <a class=\"rounded-md px-6 py-2 bg-white\" href=\"https:\/\/cake.com\/try\" target=\"_blank\">Sign up<\/a>\n\n                            <a class=\"button-2\" href=\"https:\/\/cake.com\/bundle\" target=\"_blank\">Learn more<\/a>\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"banner-image banner-image-bottom \">\n        <picture>\n            <source srcset=\"https:\/\/plaky.com\/learn\/wp-content\/themes\/cake-learn\/src\/images\/plaky\/banners\/bundle@2x.png 2x\" alt=\"Illustration\"  media=\"(min-width: 1022px)\" \/>\n            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/plaky.com\/learn\/wp-content\/themes\/cake-learn\/src\/images\/plaky\/banners\/bundle.png\"  alt=\"Illustration\" \/>\n        <\/picture>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n    <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"plaky-has-a-better-free-plan-than-monday-com\" class=\"wp-block-heading translation-block\">Plaky has a better free plan than monday.com<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">A solid free plan is important because it sets the stage for trust and long-term use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">With monday.com, it\u2019s quite obvious that the free plan has several weak points:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>2-user cap<\/strong> \u2014 Allowing up to 2 seats on the free plan makes it essentially useless for even the smallest teams. If you need more than 2 seats on monday.com, you\u2019re immediately pushed into a paid plan.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>3 boards maximum<\/strong> \u2014 Limiting the free plan to just 3 boards basically means you can only manage 3 projects at once, which is super-impractical.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>No custom fields<\/strong> \u2014 Without custom fields beyond the default ones (monday.com calls them columns), there\u2019s no flexibility to build workflows around your needs. This strips away one of the platform\u2019s main selling points.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>No 24\/7 support <\/strong>\u2014 Unfortunately, 24\/7 customer support here is reserved for those with paid accounts. If monday.com wants its free plan to be an entry point, this downside undermines that.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">Taken together, these flaws suggest that monday.com\u2019s free plan isn\u2019t much more than a glorified to-do list.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1283\" src=\"https:\/\/plaky.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/monday.coms-pricing.webp\" alt=\"monday.com\u2019s pricing\" class=\"wp-image-12774\" srcset=\"https:\/\/plaky.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/monday.coms-pricing.webp 1800w, https:\/\/plaky.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/monday.coms-pricing-300x214.webp 300w, https:\/\/plaky.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/monday.coms-pricing-768x547.webp 768w, https:\/\/plaky.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/monday.coms-pricing-1536x1095.webp 1536w, https:\/\/plaky.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/monday.coms-pricing-18x12.webp 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">monday.com\u2019s pricing<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">In contrast, Plaky\u2019s free plan is generous, offering benefits such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Unlimited users<\/strong> \u2014 The free plan is inclusive and scalable because Plaky cares about growing teams instead of gating them at the door.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Unlimited spaces, boards, and items<\/strong> \u2014 You can actually run your entire workflow on Plaky\u2019s free plan.

It\u2019s rather neat and bright with clear icons, and color-coded labels make it easy to check task progress at a glance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">Another plus is the drag-and-drop functionality \u2014 tasks and columns can be moved around easily.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"857\" src=\"https:\/\/plaky.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/monday.coms-interface.webp\" alt=\"monday.com\u2019s interface\" class=\"wp-image-12773\" srcset=\"https:\/\/plaky.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/monday.coms-interface.webp 1800w, https:\/\/plaky.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/monday.coms-interface-300x143.webp 300w, https:\/\/plaky.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/monday.coms-interface-768x366.webp 768w, https:\/\/plaky.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/monday.coms-interface-1536x731.webp 1536w, https:\/\/plaky.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/monday.coms-interface-18x9.webp 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">monday.com\u2019s interface<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">However, I\u2019ve also noticed some drawbacks:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Visual clutter<\/strong> \u2014 With so many colors and buttons, it can be a lot to take in when working with lots of boards and items.

Also, there are templates to help you standardize the workflow.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>No tech jargon<\/strong> \u2014 Plaky uses everyday terminology (files are files, comments are comments, and so on), not abstract labels.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Clear hierarchy<\/strong> \u2014 There are no confusing structures, just spaces, boards, folders, and (sub)tasks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Multi-channel support<\/strong> \u2014 Besides fast help via email and chat, Plaky offers phone support too.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"is-monday-com-really-worth-the-price-for-a-small-team\" class=\"wp-block-heading translation-block\">Is monday.com really worth the price for a small team?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">This really depends on your team\u2019s needs. If you need a lot of integrations, templates, and automations, monday.com could be able to deliver. However, its pricing structure isn\u2019t really friendly to smaller groups (as noted in more detail earlier in this article).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">While we did include monday.com on our list of the <a href=\"https:\/\/plaky.com\/blog\/best-project-management-tools-for-small-teams\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">best PM tools for small teams<\/a>, there are a few equally good or even better options that cost less.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"custom-btn translation-block wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/app.plaky.com\/signup\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Plaky\u2019s robust and cheaper.
