Monday.com's pricing page is organised around seats, tools and credits. The free plan covers up to two seats with three boards, three docs, 200+ templates and eight column types, and lists AI features as available from Basic upward. Basic is $9 per seat a month billed annually for three tools and 1,000 AI credits a month, and adds unlimited free viewers and unlimited items. Standard is $12 per seat a month annually for five tools and 2,000 credits, adding 250 automation actions and 250 integration actions a month, timeline and Gantt views, calendar view, guest access, an AI meeting notetaker and 1,000 API calls a day. Pro is $19 per seat a month annually for six tools and 3,000 credits, with 25,000 automation and integration actions, private boards and docs, time tracking, advanced columns and 10,000 API calls a day. Enterprise is quoted, and the page shows yearly billing as an 18% saving against monthly.
TL;DR
Monday.com prices per seat with a tool count and an AI credit allowance attached to each tier: Basic $9, Standard $12 and Pro $19 per seat a month billed annually, with a free plan for up to two seats. Wrike prices per user at $10 for Team and $25 for Business, with AI Essentials on the lower tier and AI Elite actions on the higher one. Monday is the more flexible board-and-app platform with metered AI; Wrike is the more structured work-management platform with resource and budget tooling.
Wrike's page is organised around users. Free is $0 for essential task management across web, desktop and mobile apps. Team is $10 per user a month for 2 to 15 users, including AI Essentials, shareable dashboards and interactive Gantt charts. Business is $25 per user a month for 5 to 200 users, with AI Elite features, templates and standard integrations. Pinnacle and Apex are quoted, and the prices shown are annual per-user figures valid from January 21, 2026 onward.
Two structural differences matter more than the headline numbers. First, Monday's units are boards and items inside a limited number of tools per seat, so a team that wants many disconnected boards has to think about the tool count; Wrike's unit is the user in one workspace, with no tool ceiling. Second, Monday meters AI by credits that can be topped up, while Wrike meters AI Elite actions by tier. If heavy AI use is expected, Monday's credit packs become a real line item; if it is occasional, both plans absorb it.

Pick Monday.com if
Choose Monday.com when the team wants to build its own tooling on top of boards and columns, values free viewers for stakeholders, and expects light-to-moderate AI use. At $9 per seat a month on annual billing Basic is the cheaper entry, and Pro at $19 is where time tracking, private boards and a serious automation allowance arrive. Watch the tool count on each tier and the credit balance if AI use grows.
Pick Wrike if
Choose Wrike when the tool has to answer who is over-allocated, what the hours were worth and what the budget burn looks like. Team at $10 per user a month is only a dollar above Monday Basic and includes Gantt and dashboards with no tool ceiling, and Business at $25 adds AI Elite features, templates and standard integrations for teams up to 200.
We did not collect an independent review corpus for this pair, so nothing above is user sentiment. Prices come from both vendors' own pricing pages, fetched on the date shown; Monday.com prices vary by billing country.
On the entry tier, slightly: Basic is $9 per seat a month against Wrike Team at $10, both on annual billing. The middle is where they separate, with Monday Standard at $12 and Pro at $19 against Wrike Business at $25, and Wrike's higher price carries resource management, budgets and native time tracking.
Each paid tier includes a monthly allowance: 1,000 credits on Basic, 2,000 on Standard and 3,000 on Pro, with the page noting that credits can be bought at any time. Wrike takes a different route, including AI Essentials on Team and an AI Elite starter pack on Business, with larger action quotas on the quoted tiers.
Basic covers three tools, Standard five and Pro six, where a tool is a connected product area such as work management or CRM. Wrike has no equivalent limit; the paid tiers differ by feature depth rather than by how many products you may switch on.
Yes, at $0 for essential task management with web, desktop and mobile apps, task and project management, and board and table views. Monday's free plan is capped at two seats, which makes it a trial rather than a working plan for most teams.
Wrike. Workload and capacity views, time tracking and billable budgets are part of the product across its paid tiers, with the deepest controls on the quoted plans. Monday adds time tracking and workload on Pro, but capacity planning and budgeting are not its centre of gravity.
Monday's page presents yearly billing as an 18% saving against monthly, so monthly rates sit above the figures quoted here. Wrike's published prices are annual per-user figures as well, and its page states they apply to purchases from January 21, 2026.
