The monday.com alternative that doesn't price every view separately.
monday.com is flexible, and the flexibility is priced by tier and by seat. Cloudairy gives you all eight view types, dependencies and story points on Starter, workload and timesheets on Business — and includes the whiteboard, docs and screen recorder in the same seat.

Eight views. Two plans. No add-ons.
On monday.com the view you need and the reporting you need tend to live a tier apart. Cloudairy keeps the planning depth on Starter and the team-level reporting on Business — with diagrams, docs and recording included either way.
The board, without the per-view upsell
Columns, cards, assignees, due dates, priorities and labels — then switch the same tasks to Timeline, Calendar, Table, Gallery, List or Gantt whenever you need to.
Dependencies and Gantt on Starter
Task dependencies, auto-calculated durations and a real Gantt view arrive on the first paid plan rather than the one above it.
The whiteboard is included
Brainstorm, map processes and draw architecture on an infinite canvas in the same workspace — no second subscription, no linking out.

Everything you'd expect from a screen recorder
Cloudairy Clips covers the full recording workflow — capture, share, transcribe and measure — then turns any recording into work.
And the part a recorder can't do: every recording can become a knowledge-base doc, a diagram on a board, or project action items — without leaving Cloudairy.
From screen to shipped — in three steps.
Record your screen
Hit record on any tab or your whole screen, with webcam and voice. No download to get started.
Turn it into work
The same recording becomes a knowledge-base doc, a diagram, and action items — inside your Cloudairy workspace.
Share & assign
Send an instant link, see who watched with per-viewer analytics, and assign the tasks — all in one place.
The same flexibility, without pricing each capability separately.

The verdict: monday.com earns its reputation for flexibility, but the pricing follows the flexibility: the view you want, the reporting you want and the automation you want tend to sit one tier above where you started. Cloudairy puts all eight views, dependencies and story points on Starter, workload and timesheets on Business — and folds the whiteboard, documents and screen recorder into the same seat.
One recording, many jobs done.

Good to know
Is Cloudairy a good monday.com alternative?
Yes. You get the same colourful, flexible boards with custom fields and status columns, plus seven other views of the same tasks including Gantt. The difference is what is included: dependencies and Gantt on Starter, workload and timesheets on Business, and diagrams, docs and screen recording in every plan.
What does Cloudairy do that monday.com can't?
Describe a project and AI builds the whole board. Inside a task, AI drafts the description, acceptance criteria and a smart checklist. And the workspace holds an infinite whiteboard, collaborative documents and a screen recorder — three tools you would otherwise buy alongside monday.com.
How do I move from monday.com to Cloudairy?
Start from a board that matches your workflow — Project Task Board, Sprint Board, Bug Tracker, Recruitment Pipeline, Sales Pipeline or Weekly Planner — or describe the project and let AI build it. Status columns, assignees, dates, priorities and labels map across directly.
Is there a free plan?
Yes, free forever with no credit card: three editable items across boards, docs and projects, Kanban and List views, unlimited team members, real-time collaboration, monthly AI credits and the template library. Paid plans start at $8 per member a month.
Which plan do I need for workload and timesheets?
Business. It adds workload across the team, cross-project dashboards, goals, timesheets and logged hours, and roles, permissions and guest access. Starter covers Timeline, Calendar and Gantt views plus sprints, backlog, retrospectives and dependencies.
