Switch from monday.com to Workel. Your boards, with the team's talk built in.
monday.com is a flexible work platform with automations and dashboards for every process. Workel is for small teams that want boards, chat, docs, files and calls in one app, with no seat minimum.
Which one fits your team. An honest answer, both ways.
Pick Workel if
- You want real team chat, with channels and direct messages
- You want video calls built in: one-to-one on every paid plan, groups on Max
- You keep files in folders, inside the project they belong to
- You want a shared calendar for the team's events, next to the boards
- You're one or two people: Workel is free for up to 2 people, with no card needed, and paid plans have no seat minimum
Stay with monday.com if
- You automate a lot: triggers, conditions and actions (Standard and up)
- You build dashboards across boards, with more than 30 widgets
- You need many column types: formulas, dependencies, time tracking and more
- You connect a lot of tools: monday.com lists more than 850 integrations and apps (Standard and up)
What Workel doesn't do yet: time tracking, rule-based automations, guest accounts for people outside your team, or phone apps (iOS and Android are coming soon).
Workel and monday.com, side by side. What each covers, and what it costs.
