monday Pro vs Enterprise: Which monday.com plan do I need? (2026 update)

Over the past year (and since we put out the 2025 plan comparison), monday.com has made some changes to both Pro and Enterprise plans. These are focused on exciting AI features and critical governance layers.

This updated 2026 guide breaks down monday Pro vs Enterprise plans, automation capacities, security requirements and real-world use cases to help you choose confidently.

Pro plan 2026 pricing and inclusions

The monday.com Pro plan is still designed for businesses managing multiple teams and complex workflows at scale.

2026 pricing is $30 per seat/month, billed annually, with unlimited seats on offer. File storage is 100GB with an activity log spanning up to 12 months.

On Pro, you’ll get:

• Private boards and workspaces

• The option to combine up to 20 boards (an update from the previous 10)

• Automations and integrations (25,000 actions per month for each)

• Timeline, Gantt, chart and time tracking views

• Board administrators for better admin and control

• Better privacy and security (more on that below)

Enterprise plan 2026 pricing and inclusions 

For large organisations with complex needs, the Enterprise plan continues to provide the highest level of functionality, security and support. 

As per 2025, pricing is customised based on specific requirements, but the investment brings substantial benefits.

In addition to all the Pro plan inclusions, Enterprise plans get:

• Portfolio and resource management

• A dedicated customer success manager

• Multi-level permissions

• Automations and integrations (250,000 actions per month for each)

• Enterprise-grade security and governance

• Advanced reporting and analytics

• Create a dashboard that combines 50 boards rather than 20

• 1,000GB of file storage

• A 5-year activity log

• Custom conditional logic forms

• Premium integrations like SalesForce and NetSuite

• 99.9% uptime SLA (Service-Level Agreement)

Automation limits: where Enterprise is better

Automation is the biggest pressure point in the monday Pro vs Enterprise decision. Pro automation limits become an issue when you run CRM-level automations or your volume hits more than 25k actions per month.

If you also manage cross-department approvals that touch more than a handful of teams, or you’ve got multi-board dashboards for reporting, you’ll get into hot water.

Teams often don’t notice they’re outgrowing Pro until automations begin throttling or failing. 

Enterprise removes those limits

With monday.com Enterprise, you gain:

• 250k+ automations

• No workflow throttling

• AI-powered automations (routing, forecasting, triage)

• Stable automations for ITSM, CRM, HR, Finance and Operations

If your business relies on fully automated operations, Enterprise is the only plan that delivers workflows at scale.

The new 2026 AI features in monday.com

AI is rolling out across monday.com, and both Pro and Enterprise users now have access to the platform’s core AI capabilities. You can use AI to summarise updates, extract information, generate content, analyse documents, and speed up day‑to‑day workflows without leaving your boards.

Access does vary by plan. Pro includes the standard AI features, while Enterprise unlocks higher usage limits and earlier access to advanced capabilities. Some AI Blocks and upcoming features are still being released gradually, so availability may differ depending on your account.

monday.com has also signalled a bigger AI roadmap, including Digital Workforce tools and new Product Power‑ups, which are expected to introduce more intelligent automation and deeper workflow support over time.

Permissions and security are the clearest divide from 2025 to 2026

For many teams, permissions and security are the deciding factor. 

Both plans include:

• SOC 2 Type II Compliance

• Two-factor authentication

• Private boards and docs

• Google authentication

Enterprise only includes:

• Single Sign On (Okta, One login, Azure AD, Custom SAML)

• HIPAA compliance

• Integration permissions

• IP restrictions

• Content Directory

Administration and control updates: Enterprise features explained

monday.com’s board administrators function (available on both plans) allows administrators to control who can edit and create content on specific boards. 

But the monday.com Enterprise plan can do so much more. You’ll get:

• SCIM provisioning for secure, automated user management

• Audit logs for visibility across all activity

• Session management to track and manage user logins

• Panic mode to instantly lock down your account if credentials are compromised

• Private workspaces for sensitive or segmented projects

• Advanced account, workspace and board permissions to keep information secure at scale

And as of this month, Enterprise users now have access to the new Board Roles feature—making permission management even more granular.

You can now assign custom roles with specific permissions (e.g. view-only, editor, commenter) to each person on a board, giving you finer control without creating permission chaos.

In short, if you’re scaling, auditing, or managing multiple departments, these features make your workflows secure, consistent, and easier to govern.

Enterprise reporting and analytics

Another major gap between the Pro and Enterprise plans is Pro’s lack of advanced reporting and analytics capabilities. 

On the Enterprise plan, you’ll get work performance insights that help you to visualise and understand the performance of your projects and workflows. Dashboard email notifications are automatic and sent directly to your inbox, and the pivot function lets you slice and dice your board with pivot table analysis and visualisation.

3 real-world scenarios to show you how to compare monday.com plans

 1. SMB (10-15 users): Best suited to Pro

For small to mid-size teams juggling projects, client work, marketing and daily operations, monday.com Pro hits the sweet spot. 

These companies want structure and automation, but don’t need the heavy governance that comes with Enterprise. Pro’s automation capacity and advanced reporting give SMB teams everything they need without overwhelming their budget.

2. Agency (5–80 users): Build on Enterprise from day one if scale is on the cards

Most agencies start with monday.com Pro, thinking Enterprise is only for much larger teams. And that’s fine… until it’s not.

As your agency grows, CRM automations hit volume limits, reporting across client work gets clunky, and the need for private, permission-controlled workspaces becomes non-negotiable. That’s usually when the shift to Enterprise kicks in.

But here’s the catch: if Enterprise is even on the horizon, it’s smarter to build on it from the beginning. Starting on Pro is like laying the foundation for a cottage, then trying to build a skyscraper on top later. Rebuilding workflows, permissions and structures mid-growth is not only messy. It’s costly in time and momentum.

So if you’re an agency planning to scale (or already juggling multiple client boards), we recommend setting things up properly on Enterprise now. Your future self (and your team) will thank you.

3. Large-scale organisations (50-5,000 users): Best suited to Enterprise

Large companies skip Pro entirely. When you’re running company-wide workflows, managing sensitive HR or Finance data, coordinating multi-department processes, or needing SCIM provisioning and deep governance, Enterprise is the only viable choice. 

AI-driven triage, permissions, audit logs and standardised workflows keep everything scalable and compliant.

Choose your plan with our decision checklist

Let’s make the decision between monday Pro vs Enterprise easier.

Choose Pro if you: ☐ Want private boards and spaces ☐ Need board admin functions, but don’t require SCIM provisioning  ☐ Advanced board, workspace and account permissions. ☐ Need advanced, not overly complex workflows ☐ Are confident you won’t exceed automation limits ☐ Don’t need SSO, but would benefit from 2FA and/or Google sign-ins ☐ Don’t store overly sensitive data ☐ Don’t need multi-year audit logs ☐ Want affordable yet advanced reporting

Choose Enterprise if you: ☐ Run multi-department workflows ☐ Need advanced granular permissions and security ☐ Exceed automation volumes regularly ☐ Want AI-led workflow automation ☐ Need governance, compliance or audit logs ☐ Require SalesForce or advanced integrations ☐ Need scalable workflows ☐ Want in-depth, org-wide reporting

*If you checked three or more in the second list, you’re ready for monday.com Enterprise.
