Cheaper monday.com alternatives for small teams

monday.com charges per seat, starts at 3 seats and then sells them in buckets. A team of 6 can end up paying for 10. Here are cheaper boards that still do timelines, automations and Gantt charts.

Flat pricing, not per seat

Akievo charges a flat price. Its example: five people pay $60 a month on monday.com Standard and $12 a month on Akievo Pro, with Timeline, Gantt and dependencies included.

LlamaPress charges for the build and hosting, so the 15th user costs nothing extra.

Per seat, but cheaper

Avaza starts at $7 per user a month against monday.com's $12, with no seat minimum.

CheckFlow is about $10 per user a month with automations and audit logs. Ten users pay $90 to $100 a month against $190 on monday.com Pro.

Infinity says it costs $720 a year for 10 people against $1,900 on monday.com.

Bigger teams

Teamhood says 30 users cost €3,960 a year against €7,200 on monday.com Pro. It's also free until your monday.com contract ends, for up to 12 months.

Before you switch

• Export your boards to CSV or Excel first. Most tools can import them.
• List the automations you actually use. Rebuild only those.
• Check your renewal date, since annual plans usually don't refund early.
