Permission and guest checks
Board owners can select permission sets such as edit everything, edit content only, view and comment, and—on Pro and above—edit assigned items only. Effective access reflects the most restrictive applicable account, workspace and board rule.
Standard includes guest access. Teams should verify which boards external people can access, when a guest becomes billable, and whether private boards are required.
When it may fit
Consider monday.com when
You need to model different workflows—projects, intake, sales, production or hiring—with configurable boards, columns and automations, or want cross-team dashboards.
Compare alternatives when
You need only a minimal Kanban board, want true per-seat purchasing for a very small team, or primarily need a document and internal-wiki platform.
Pre-purchase checklist
- Compare actual users with the required seat bucket
- Confirm whether needed views require Standard or Pro
- Estimate monthly automation and integration actions
- Separate external guests from internal members
- Check private boards, time tracking and granular permissions
- Confirm Enterprise if SAML or SCIM is mandatory
