Monday.com: when it makes sense.
monday.com makes sense to coordinate teams with automations and multiple views; for solo use or a simple list, a lighter tool suffices.
Keep if
You coordinate team projects and processes visually.. You want automations and multiple views.
- You use it at least once a week
- The monthly cost (€9) is small next to the time it saves you
Challenge if
You want a simple personal to-do.. The 3-seat minimum inflates cost for a tiny need.
- You use it less than once a month
- A simple free version or a tool already in your stack would do
