Frequently asked questions
Is Monday.com or Notion better for creative teams?
Notion covers more of the workflow out of the box (4 of the 8 capabilities we track fully included, vs 3), but the right pick depends on which capabilities your team actually uses. The comparison table above shows exactly where they differ.
How much do Monday.com and Notion cost?
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). Notion's free plan is $0 (unlimited blocks solo, but a 1,000-block cap once a second member joins, 10 guests, 5 MB file uploads, 7-day version history), with Plus at $10/seat/mo billed annually ($12 monthly) and Business - the first tier with full Notion AI - at $18/seat/mo annually ($24 monthly).
