Frequently asked questions
Is MeisterTask or Monday.com better for creative teams?

How much do MeisterTask and Monday.com cost?
MeisterTask's free Basic plan covers unlimited members but caps you at 3 projects, 5 notes, 20-MB file uploads, and just 20 AI prompts/month; paid plans start at Pro (~$12/user/mo, billed yearly) for unlimited projects and 75 AI prompts/month, with Business at ~$24/user/mo unlocking custom fields, roles & permissions, and timeline views. Monday.com's free plan caps you at 2 seats, 3 boards, and 3 docs; paid plans start at Basic $9/seat/mo (annual, $10 monthly), Standard $12, and Pro $19 - but every paid plan carries a 3-seat minimum and sells seats in multiples of 5 above that, so the real floor is ~$27/mo on Basic even for a solo user, and AI runs on a metered credit budget (1,000/2,000/3,000 credits per month by tier).
