# monday.com Guide: Features, Pricing and Setup Canonical: https://www.taskrhino.ca/en-us/monday-com/ > A certified monday.com partner's guide to the platform: what it is, what each plan costs, organizing boards and permissions, security and integrations. monday.com is a cloud-based work management platform that teams use to plan projects, track work and automate the steps in between. This hub collects our guides to the platform itself: what it is, what it costs, how to organize it as you grow, how secure it is, and how to extend it. ![A small wooden rhino stands beside a tidy board of colored tiles with wooden peg figures gathered around.](https://www.taskrhino.ca/_astro/monday-com-bfb1c21f.DpAoUKfN_1xlzfY.jpg) [Book a Free Consultation](https://www.taskrhino.ca/en-us/contact-us/) ## What This Hub Covers As a certified monday.com partner, we see the same questions at every stage. Before buying, teams want to know what monday.com does and which plan they need. After the first few months, they want a board and folder structure that still makes sense at fifty boards, and permissions that keep the right people in. The articles below answer those questions. For the two areas that need the most detail, see our separate hubs on [monday.com automations](https://www.taskrhino.ca/en-us/monday-com-automations/) and [monday.com forms](https://www.taskrhino.ca/en-us/monday-com-forms/). ## Key Topics ### Getting started Begin with [what monday.com is](https://www.taskrhino.ca/en-us/monday-com/what-is-monday-com/), then read our [monday.com review](https://www.taskrhino.ca/en-us/monday-com/review/) and the [guide to project management in monday.com](https://www.taskrhino.ca/en-us/monday-com/project-management-guide/). ### Pricing and plans See [how much monday.com costs](https://www.taskrhino.ca/en-us/monday-com/pricing-plans/): the Free, Basic, Standard, Pro and Enterprise plans. ### Organizing boards, folders and access Set [board naming conventions and a folder structure](https://www.taskrhino.ca/en-us/monday-com/folder-structure/) early, and know the [limits of board permissions](https://www.taskrhino.ca/en-us/monday-com/board-permissions/) before you rely on them. ### Security and compliance Check [how monday.com meets security standards](https://www.taskrhino.ca/en-us/monday-com/data-security-compliance/) such as SOC 2 and GDPR. ### Extending monday.com Connect monday.com to the rest of your stack with [custom integrations](https://www.taskrhino.ca/en-us/monday-com/custom-integrations/) and [extensions](https://www.taskrhino.ca/en-us/monday-com/extensions/), or ask our team about [monday.com integration services](https://www.taskrhino.ca/en-us/monday-com-integrations/). ## Where to Start Pick the path that matches where you are with monday.com: - **Evaluating it.** Read [what monday.com is](https://www.taskrhino.ca/en-us/monday-com/what-is-monday-com/), our [monday.com review](https://www.taskrhino.ca/en-us/monday-com/review/) and the [pricing guide](https://www.taskrhino.ca/en-us/monday-com/pricing-plans/), then compare it with the tool you use today in our [project management software comparisons](https://www.taskrhino.ca/en-us/project-management-software/). - **Setting up a new account.** Agree on [board names and a folder structure](https://www.taskrhino.ca/en-us/monday-com/folder-structure/) before the first teams start, and use the [project management guide](https://www.taskrhino.ca/en-us/monday-com/project-management-guide/) to plan your first boards. - **Growing past a few teams.** Review [board permissions](https://www.taskrhino.ca/en-us/monday-com/board-permissions/) and [security](https://www.taskrhino.ca/en-us/monday-com/data-security-compliance/), connect your other systems with [custom integrations](https://www.taskrhino.ca/en-us/monday-com/custom-integrations/), and automate the repeat work with our [automation guides](https://www.taskrhino.ca/en-us/monday-com-automations/).

Teams use monday.com to manage projects, requests, CRM pipelines and other repeatable work on shared boards, with automations, dashboards and integrations on top. Our [complete guide](https://www.taskrhino.ca/en-us/monday-com/what-is-monday-com/) covers the features and common use cases. ### How much does monday.com cost? monday.com is priced per seat, with Free, Basic, Standard, Pro and Enterprise plans; automation limits and some features depend on the plan. See [our pricing guide](https://www.taskrhino.ca/en-us/monday-com/pricing-plans/) for the details and our recommendations by team size. ### Can monday.com board permissions be automated? Only partly.
