How we grade them
| 3.0GPAmonday.comVery good | 3.6GPASuperthreadExcellent | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CBasic is $9 a seat but has no automations, integrations or timeline, so most teams land on Standard at $12. ClickUp gives you Gantt charts and time tracking for $7. | AThe main paid plan is pay what you want, from $3 per user a month, billed monthly. Pay $3 or $67 and you get the same thing: unlimited cards, boards, spaces and pages. That's well under the going rate. The cliff comes at 50 members, where Business starts at $6,000 a year. |
| Free plan and trial | CTwo seats, three boards, three docs, and no automations. Fine for one freelancer with a few clients, no good for a team. There is a 14-day trial of Pro. | BFree with unlimited members and pages, and AI agents, forms and time tracking included. But it stops at 200 cards, 4 boards and 2 spaces, with 5MB uploads and 7-day page history. A busy team will fill 200 cards quickly. |
| Features | ABoards, timelines, Gantt charts, dashboards, docs, forms, automations, time tracking and a pile of AI helpers. There's very little you can't bend it into. | ACards on boards you can see as kanban, list, timeline or calendar, with swimlanes, child cards and blocking relationships. Then projects, sprints, a wiki of pages with real-time editing, request forms, and time tracking with timesheets and billable rates. AI agents work across all of it. |
| Ease of use | A4.8 from about 48,000 App Store ratings. A diesel repair shop and a couple doing up a 1976 house both say it just made sense. There are 200+ templates to start from. | BNo app rating on record, so a B is the ceiling. It's hosted, the free plan lets the whole team in, and there are built-in importers for Jira, Trello and Shortcut, so you're not starting from an empty board. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb, Mac, Windows, iPhone and Android, with an API and 850+ integrations and apps. No Linux app, and reviewers say the phone app can't do all the website can. | AWeb, Mac, Windows, iPhone and Android, though no Linux app is listed. It connects to GitHub, Slack, Zapier, Google Calendar and Office 365. |
| Best for | flexible boards any team can pick up | small teams who want tasks and docs at their own price |
