Pro and Standard plan price increases February 2026

Free plan seat limit reduced Q4 2025

Monday AI included in Pro and Enterprise Q2 2025
Monday.com bundled its AI feature set (AI assistant, automated workflows, smart summaries) into Pro and Enterprise plans. Previously, these were a separate add-on. The bundling preceded the February 2026 price increase, which the company used to justify the higher cost.

What Monday.com's Price Increases Mean for Competitors

A 10-person team on Monday Pro now pays $19 ร— 10 ร— 12 = $2,280/year โ€” up from $1,920/year before the February 2026 increase. For a 50-person team, that's an extra $1,800/year in software costs for the same product.

ClickUp, Asana, Linear, and Notion all compete in this space. When Monday raises prices, evaluation cycles at competing tools spike. If you sell project management software and didn't know about Monday's February 2026 price increase until weeks after it happened, you missed the window when frustrated Monday customers were most receptive to switching conversations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Monday.com's cheapest paid plan in 2026?

The Basic plan at $9/seat/month (billed annually) is the cheapest paid option. However, it has a 3-seat minimum, so the minimum monthly spend on Basic is $27/month. The free plan supports up to 2 seats with limited boards and integrations.

Does Monday.com charge per seat or per user?

Per seat. Every person who needs access to your Monday.com account requires a paid seat on the Standard, Pro, or Enterprise plan. Guests can be added at no cost on Pro and Enterprise for view-only access.

Does Monday notify customers before price increases?

Sometimes, but not consistently. The Q1 2024 increase came with 60-day advance email notice. The February 2026 increase was applied silently โ€” existing annual subscribers discovered the new rate only at renewal. The safest approach is to monitor Monday's pricing page directly for changes.

What's the difference between Monday Standard and Pro?

Standard ($12/seat) adds Gantt charts, timeline views, calendar view, and 250 automation actions/month over Basic. Pro ($19/seat) adds private boards, time tracking, formula columns, 25,000 automation actions/month, and Monday AI features. If your team needs automation at scale or private project visibility, Pro is necessary.

Is there a nonprofit or startup discount?

Monday.com offers 70% discounts to registered nonprofits. Startups in their accelerator program can access free or discounted plans. Both require application through Monday's website.
