Free planWork management boards with dashboards that roll up progress, numbers and timelines across your projects.
Best for teams that manage their projects in monday.com and want dashboards built from that same work
Facts checked November 4, 2026 · First written by Mutuo Mbilla
The short answer
monday.com is a work management tool first. Teams plan work on boards, and dashboards turn those boards into charts, number totals, progress bars and Gantt timelines, with AI summaries and risk alerts on top. That works well when your data already lives in monday.com, and the free plan for two people plus a 14-day Pro trial make it cheap to test. If you need to report on data from your CRM, ad accounts or database, a dedicated BI tool will do more, and the Basic plan's dashboards can only read one board each.
Choose it if
- Your team already tracks projects, requests or campaigns on monday.com boards
- Managers want one dashboard that shows status, totals and timelines across several boards
- You want automations and integrations with tools such as Slack, Gmail, HubSpot or Jira in the same place as your reports
- Two people can start on the free plan, or a bigger team can try Pro free for 14 days
- People need to check progress from the iOS or Android app
Skip it if
- You need to analyze data from databases, ad platforms or finance systems rather than project boards
- Your dashboards must combine more than five boards and you want to stay on the Standard plan
- You are a team of one or two who need more than three boards, since the free plan stops there
- You want flat pricing, because every paid plan is charged per seat with a three-seat minimum
- You need time tracking, quotes and invoicing tied to projects, which a tool built for agencies covers better
Main features
Dashboards across boards
Pull data from several boards into one dashboard: one board on Basic, up to five on Standard and up to 50 on Enterprise. Dashboards can be exported, customized for different audiences and sent as scheduled reports.
Dashboard widgets
Chart widgets visualize board data in your brand colors, Numbers widgets total a numbers column against a goal, Battery widgets show overall progress and Gantt widgets show a project timeline.
AI summaries and risk alerts
monday AI writes executive summaries and portfolio reports and flags projects that are at risk of running late, and monday sidekick lets you ask for data in plain language. AI use is counted in monthly credits that grow with each plan.
Board views
Show the same work as a table, Kanban board, timeline or Gantt chart, so each team can plan the way it prefers while the dashboard reads the same data.
Automations
Set rules that move items, notify people or update columns when something changes. Standard includes 250 automation actions a month and Pro includes 25,000.
850+ integrations
Connect Slack, Microsoft Teams, Gmail, Outlook, Salesforce, HubSpot, Jira, GitHub, Zendesk, Stripe and more, or link thousands of other tools through Zapier or Make.

Questions people ask

Does monday.com have a free plan?
Yes. The free plan covers up to two seats, three boards and three docs, and it does not need a credit card. Larger teams can try the Pro plan free for 14 days.
How many boards can a monday.com dashboard combine?
Basic dashboards read one board, Standard dashboards combine up to five and Enterprise dashboards up to 50. Pro sits between Standard and Enterprise; the pricing page shows two different figures for it, so check the current limit before you buy.
