Why teams leave Monday.com
Per-user pricing punishes small teams
Monday.com charges $12-18 per user per month with a 3-seat minimum. A 10-person team pays $180-360/month just for project management.
No built-in communication
Monday.com has no real chat or video calls. You still need Slack and Zoom, adding more subscriptions to your bill.
Features locked behind tiers
Time tracking requires Pro tier ($18/user). Calendar view needs Standard ($12/user). Basic features are paywalled behind expensive plans.
No AI coworkers
Monday.com offers automation recipes but no autonomous AI agents. You get if-then rules, not an AI teammate.

How Trilo helps
Pricing That Makes Sense for Small Teams
Monday.com charges $12-18 per user per month, with a 3-seat minimum. A 10-person team pays $180-360/month just for project management, then still needs Slack for chat and Zoom for calls. Trilo gives your team everything - chat, video, tasks, docs, calendar - for $25/month total.
Communication Built-In, Not Bolted-On
Monday.com treats communication as an afterthought. Updates on items are not real conversations. With Trilo, chat and video calls are native features. Discuss projects, hop on calls, and turn conversations into tasks without leaving your workspace.
AI That Works Alongside Your Team
Monday.com offers automation recipes. Trilo gives you autonomous AI coworkers that join conversations, transcribe meetings, create tasks from discussions, and keep projects moving 24/7. It is the difference between scripted automation and an actual AI teammate.
