• The introductory $5.99 per user rate rises to $7.99 on annual billing or $9.99 on monthly billing once the first term ends.

monday.com

• The Free plan is limited to 2 seats, 3 boards and 3 docs.
• Paid plans start at 3 seats, and the price is set by the team size selected rather than by individual seats.
• Timeline, Gantt and calendar views, automations and integrations start on Standard; time tracking and private boards need Pro.

Bordio

Calendar planner

Tasks and events are scheduled on specific days in a week view, giving each person a short plan for the day. Completed tasks move to the day they were finished.

Waiting list

A backlog for tasks and ideas that have no date yet, kept beside the calendar until someone schedules them.

Kanban board and custom statuses

A project can be viewed as a kanban board or a table, and organizations can define their own task statuses in any order.

Team workload

Workload is calculated from the time estimates on everything a person has scheduled, counting meetings as well as tasks. Organization plan only.

Time tracking

Start a timer on a task and stop it when the work is done to record the time spent. Not included in the free plan.

Events and Google Calendar sync

Create meetings with reminders and email invitations inside Bordio, and connect a Google account to bring in existing Google Calendar events.

Boards and views

Work is tracked on boards made of items and typed columns. Timeline, Gantt and calendar views start on the Standard plan.

Automations and integrations

Both are metered by monthly actions: 250 each on Standard and 25,000 each on Pro. The integrations page lists 850+ integrations and apps.

Dashboards

Dashboards bring data from boards together into charts and summaries for reporting on progress.

Docs and forms

Built-in documents and forms sit next to boards. The Free plan allows up to 3 docs, and private boards and docs need Pro.

AI credits and agents

The Sidekick assistant, AI agents and a notetaker draw on a monthly credit pool: 1,000 credits on Basic, 2,000 on Standard and 3,000 on Pro.

Portfolio and resource management
