monday CRM is monday.com’s answer to the sales pipeline problem — built on the same visual, flexible board structure the company is known for. It’s a genuinely well-designed CRM. The catch for a small business is the same one that applies to monday.com’s project tool: a seat minimum, and a price that only covers the CRM itself.

What monday CRM Actually Offers

monday CRM offers customizable pipelines, automation, and integration with the wider monday.com ecosystem (including monday’s project management product, sold separately). Pricing starts at $12/user/month (Basic, billed annually) and rises to $17 (Standard) and $28 (Pro), with a 3-seat minimum.

Where monday CRM Falls Short for a Small Business

A 3-seat minimum means a 2-person sales team is billed for 3 seats. And monday CRM is centred on sales (quotes and invoices are included, with monthly limits by plan) — project delivery is a separate monday.com product, and e-signature and team chat should be checked against your plan.

How Crittiks Compares

The Real Cost Difference

A 4-person team on monday CRM pays for at least 4 billed seats (or the 3-seat minimum, whichever is higher) for the CRM alone — $48–112/month on annual billing (4 seats x $12–28) — before adding monday.com’s project product or a signing tool separately. Crittiks Pro covers all of that for one flat $99.95/month.

Time Lost Switching Between Tools

Even within the monday ecosystem, monday CRM and monday.com’s project product are sold as separate products, so using both means two subscriptions to manage.

The monday CRM column multiplies the per-user range quoted earlier in this post (as listed by monday CRM, in the currency shown, not converted) by team size, and covers that one tool only. Crittiks figures are as published at crittiks.com/pricing. Crittiks figures include all six suites; Pro covers up to 8 seats, extra seats are $8 a month, and Platinum covers up to 15. List prices change and vendor discounts vary, so treat this as a guide and check current pricing on both sites.

Who Should Choose monday CRM, and Who Should Choose Crittiks

monday CRM fits best when its specialist strengths are central to your business and you are happy to run it alongside other tools.

Crittiks fits best when you are a small service team, roughly 4 to 25 people, who want sales, projects, e-signature, communications, finance and AI on one client record at a predictable price. For one to three users with a single need, a point tool is often cheaper. If you need ERP-level inventory or manufacturing, neither tool is the answer on its own.

A Switching Checklist: Moving From monday CRM to Crittiks

  1. Export contacts, companies, deals, notes and files from monday CRM.
  2. Decide which stale records to leave behind before importing.
  3. Map monday CRM pipeline stages to Crittiks pipeline stages.
  4. Reconnect your mailbox so conversation history attaches to client records.
  5. Run the two systems side by side on a few live deals before switching fully.

Crittiks has a built-in migration tool with a preview-before-you-commit step. For help with a specific source, contact support@crittiks.com.
