Wrike vs Monday.com: Pricing Compared in 2026

Verified 2026-07-27 · by Sebastian Bru

Both tools do broadly the same job. The gap that matters for most teams is what they cost once seat minimums and user caps are applied.

What each one costs your team

Cheapest paid plan from each, on annual billing, with vendor seat minimums included.

Team size	Wrike	Monday.com	Cheaper
5 people	$50/mo	$45/mo	Monday.com, by $5/mo
20 people	not available (max 15 users)	$180/mo	—
50 people	not available (max 15 users)	$450/mo	—

Wrike plans

Enterprise-grade features aimed at large teams. Its seat-band billing makes it the most expensive tool here for teams that fall just above a band.

Plan	Per user / month	Limits
Free	Free	Unlimited users
Team	$10	2 to 15 users, sold in bands of 5
Business	$25	Minimum 5 seats, sold in bands
Enterprise	Custom	Custom quote

Monday.com plans

Highly visual and easy to adopt. The pricing looks cheap per seat until you hit the three-seat minimum and the automation limits.

Plan	Per user / month	Limits
Free	Free	Up to 2 seats
Basic	$9	Minimum 3 seats
Standard	$12	Minimum 3 seats
Pro	$19	Minimum 3 seats
Enterprise	Custom	Custom quote

What neither pricing page tells you

Wrike: Wrike sells seats in fixed bands: blocks of 5 below 30 seats, blocks of 10 from 30 to 100, blocks of 25 above 100. A 6-person team pays for 10 seats. A 22-person team pays for 25.

Wrike: That banding means adding one person can raise your bill by five seats at once. Check where your headcount sits before hiring.

Monday.com: Every paid plan requires a minimum of 3 seats. A solo user on Basic pays $27 a month, not $9.

Monday.com: Seats are sold in blocks. Going from 3 to 4 people can force you into the next pricing tier.

Before you compare on price alone The cheapest plan is not the same plan on both sides. Check what each tier actually includes before treating these numbers as equivalent.
