A monday.com alternative
without seat buckets.
A team of six is a team of six. monday.com's own team-size picker offers 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and nothing in between, so six people are quoted ten seats and pay for four nobody uses. Noots charges for the seats you have, and the boards, timelines and automations sit on the same data as your meetings, chat and calendar.
What each one publishes.
Their number is read from their own pricing page, at the tier they badge, on the date printed beside it. Ours is read from the plan table this product enforces.
monday.com Pro
$19
a seat a month, billed annually
Seats come in blocks - monday quotes 3, 5, 10, 15, so six people buy ten.
US list price, read from monday.com's own pricing page on 28 August 2026. We price the tier that vendor badges, not the dearest one.
Team
$9
a seat a month, billed annually
Every figure on this card is read from the plan table the product itself enforces, so it cannot disagree with what you are charged. The full matrix is on the pricing page.
These two figures buy different things and this page does not pretend they are the same basket. What Noots includes at that price is listed below, each line with the tier it unlocks at. We publish no claim about what monday.com does or does not do, because we hold a dated reading of what they charge and not of what they build.
Every line is a surface that ships.
The tier beside each one is read from the plan table at render time, so a capability that moves tier moves on this page in the same change.
You buy the seats you have
FreeSeats are a number, not a bucket. Add a seventh person and you pay for a seventh person.
Board, list, backlog, timeline and Gantt
TeamEvery project opens with the views its work needs, and a project can be reshaped tab by tab. The timeline and dependencies are on the Team tier.
Grids and Tables
BusinessA spreadsheet inside the project for the numbers a board cannot hold, and structured tables for records that are not tasks.
Rules on the board
TeamWhen this happens, and these conditions hold, do that. Including a retention rule that moves stale cards in a column to the workspace bin, restorable, rather than destroying them.
The meetings are in the same product
FreeA recorded call becomes tasks on these boards without an integration, a webhook or a paid connector between two vendors.
Import the board you already have
BusinessA one-off import reads a monday.com board's groups and items and creates the project here. The import page says exactly what does and does not come across.
What Noots does not do.
The counterweight, at full length and not behind a disclosure. If one of these is a deal breaker, it is cheaper for both of us that you read it here.
- The live project importer is on the Business tier. The paste importer, which takes a CSV or a pasted table, is on every plan.
- A monday.com import brings item names and groups. It does not bring column values, updates, subitems or files, and the import page lists that in full.
- An import is a one-off copy, not a running sync. Running it twice makes a second project.
- Noots has an extension catalogue rather than a third-party app marketplace, and it is smaller.
- There is no formula column. Grids hold the arithmetic a board cannot.
