Verdict

Pick Attio if

Pick Attio when the CRM has to be the data layer

A free plan for up to three seats, Plus at $35 a user a month billed annually, and Pro at $79 with unlimited seats and a million records make Attio a per-user data platform rather than a seat-priced sales tool. The trade is that per-user entry runs above monday CRM's per-seat price.

Pick Monday CRM if

Pick monday CRM when the pipeline is the product

Deals, quotes, invoices, sequences and AI agents arrive built and priced per seat from $12 a month billed annually, with the contact ceiling stated plainly at 1,000, 10,000 and 100,000. The absence of a free tier is the price of that completeness.

What the vendors say, and what we did not measure

We collected no independent reviews, ratings or user quotations for Attio or monday CRM in this run; plan limits, AI agent lists and discount terms are the vendors' own. Prices were read from the attio.com and monday.com/crm pricing pages, both quoted in US dollars, Attio per user and monday CRM per seat.

Who Should Use Which?

Use Attio if you...

  • Teams that want a CRM whose objects, records and permissions scale with them

Use Monday CRM if you...

  • Sales teams that want quotes, invoices and sequences out of the box
  • Organisations already using monday.com products
  • Buyers whose pipeline sits under 10,000 active contacts
