How much does Monday.com cost in 2026?
Quick Answer: As of June 2026 Monday.com per-seat prices are unchanged: Free (2 seats), Basic $9, Standard $12, Pro $19 per seat on annual billing (roughly $12/$15/$24 monthly), with a 3-seat minimum on all paid plans. The 2026 change is an AI-credit model: each paid tier now bundles a monthly AI-credit allowance (about 1,000 on Basic, 2,000 on Standard, 3,000 on Pro) instead of a separate AI add-on.
Monday.com pricing (as of June 2026)
| Plan | Annual price | Monthly price | Automations / Month | AI credits / Month |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free (Individual) | $0 (2 seats) | $0 | None | None |
| Basic | $9/seat | ~$12/seat | None | ~1,000 |
| Standard | $12/seat | ~$15/seat | 250 | ~2,000 |
| Pro | $19/seat | ~$24/seat | 25,000 | ~3,000 |
| Enterprise | Custom | Custom | 250,000 | Custom |
All paid plans require a minimum of 3 seats, so the real entry cost is about $27/month (annual Basic at 3 seats), not $9. Annual billing runs roughly 18% cheaper than monthly.
The 2026 change: an AI-credit allowance per tier
The headline per-seat prices are the same as they were in early 2026, but Monday's AI is no longer a flat add-on. Each paid tier now bundles a monthly allowance of AI credits that power Monday AI, the Sidekick assistant, and AI blocks inside automations. The allowance scales with the tier (about 1,000 on Basic, 2,000 on Standard, 3,000 on Pro). Teams planning to use AI blocks heavily should size against that allowance, because credits are consumed per AI action and run out before the seat price changes.
Automations are still the deciding line
Automations remain available only on Standard and above. The Free and Basic plans provide zero automation, which is the single most important pricing fact for anyone choosing Monday.com for its automation recipes.
| Plan | Monthly automation actions |
|---|---|
| Standard | 250 |
| Pro | 25,000 |
| Enterprise | up to 250,000 |
Cost at scale (annual billing)
| Team size | Basic | Standard | Pro |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 seats (min) | $27/mo | $36/mo | $57/mo |
| 10 seats | $90/mo | $120/mo | $190/mo |
| 25 seats | $225/mo | $300/mo | $475/mo |
| 50 seats | $450/mo | $600/mo | $950/mo |
How it compares (per seat, with automation)
| Tool | Entry automation tier | Per seat | Automation allowance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monday.com Standard | $12/seat | 250 actions/mo | mid |
| ClickUp Unlimited | $7/seat | unlimited | highest on paper |
| Jira Standard | $7.91/user | ~1,700 runs/mo | dev-focused |
| Trello Standard | $5/seat | 1,000 Butler runs/mo | simplest |
ClickUp's Unlimited plan ($7/seat, unlimited automations) is the strongest value on paper. Monday.com's premium buys a visual interface and a faster learning curve for non-technical teams.
Editor's Note: We deployed Monday.com for a 35-person creative agency on Standard ($420/month for 35 seats) and watched the 250-automation cap drain in about 10 days across four active boards. We moved them to Pro ($665/month); the $245/month increase was covered by roughly 8 hours a week of saved project coordination. Re-checked June 2026: the new AI-credit allowance is the thing to watch next — their first month of AI summarisation blocks consumed most of the Pro credit pool, so AI usage, not seat count, is now the variable that moves their bill. — Rafal Fila, ShadowGen

Best Automation Platforms for AI Orchestration 2026
This ranking answers one question: how many real business applications can an AI agent act on out of the box? It evaluates nine platforms as of August 2026 on the reach they give an agent, not on the workflow logic they can express. That boundary is deliberate, because two neighbouring pages on this site answer different questions. Best Process Orchestration Platforms 2026 scores multi-step process control, error handling and state management. Best AI Agent Platforms 2026 scores building and hosting the agent itself. This page scores the layer between them: the connective tissue that lets an agent already built elsewhere reach the applications a business actually runs on. A platform that leads one of those pages can place low here, and two of them do. Scores derive from application and action catalogue counts, the exposure model each platform uses to publish those catalogues to an agent, setup effort, failure handling and cost per agent action. Every figure was retrieved from a vendor-owned surface on 11 August 2026 unless an earlier date is stated against it.
Best Durable Workflow Engines for Production in 2026
A ranked list of the best durable workflow engines for production deployments in 2026. Durable workflow engines persist execution state to a database so that long-running workflows survive process restarts, deployments, and infrastructure failures. The ranking covers Temporal, Prefect, Apache Airflow, Camunda, Windmill, and n8n. Tools were evaluated on production reliability, developer experience, scalability, open-source health, and documentation quality. The shortlist intentionally mixes code-first engines (Temporal, Prefect, Airflow) with hybrid visual platforms (Camunda, Windmill, n8n) to reflect how production teams actually choose workflow engines in 2026.
