Pricing & Features, what you actually pay for

Side-by-side plans with the fine print most comparison pages skip, plus a filterable feature matrix.

All-in-one work management with projects, tasks, CRM, time tracking, and resource planning in one platform.

Free

$0

  • Up to 15 users, which is unusually generous for this category
  • Unlimited projects and tasks, 100+ templates
  • 1 GB storage is the real ceiling
Popular

Professional

$4/per user / mo (annual)

  • Time tracking, Gantt views, unlimited automations
  • Unlimited storage and advanced analytics
  • $6 per user on monthly billing

Business

$7/per user / mo (annual)

  • Adds CRM, resource management, finance module and AI agents
  • 15-user minimum, so under that size it is not purchasable
  • $10 per user on monthly billing

Enterprise

Custom

  • SAML, custom access rules, private cloud option
  • 25-user minimum
  • Quote only

Hidden costs to watch

  • The free plan allows 15 users but only 1 GB of storage, so a team that actually uses it will hit the storage wall long before the user wall.
  • Business carries a 15-user minimum. A ten-person team cannot buy the tier that holds CRM, resource management and the finance module, regardless of budget.
  • Advertised per-user rates assume annual billing. Monthly costs about 40% more: Professional is $6 rather than $4 and Business $10 rather than $7.
  • Reviewers repeatedly report the interface freezing or appearing to crash during work, which is worth testing on your own data before committing a team.
  • Reports cannot be emailed out, which surprises teams that expect scheduled executive summaries.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about choosing between and combining GoodDay and monday.com.

How much cheaper is GoodDay than monday.com?
Substantially. monday.com's free plan covers 2 seats and its entry paid tier is $12 a seat with a 3-seat minimum. GoodDay covers 15 users free and charges $4 a seat annually after that. For a ten-person team the difference is the whole subscription against nothing.
Does GoodDay replace monday.com's CRM product?
Partly. monday sells CRM as a separate product with its own subscription; GoodDay includes a CRM module in its $7 Business tier. The catch is that Business carries a 15-user minimum, so a small team cannot reach the CRM without buying fifteen seats.
Which one will stakeholders prefer?
Usually monday.com. Its dashboards demo well and the brand is familiar, which matters when you need budget approved. GoodDay is the stronger choice when the budget conversation is the problem you are trying to avoid entirely.
Is GoodDay proven enough to bet on?
It carries 149 reviews in our catalog against monday.com's 12,030, so the evidence is thin rather than negative, and reviewers do report occasional interface freezing. Run a real project on the free plan first; it costs nothing and answers the question directly.
