monday.com ranks third and is the easiest tool here to hand to a team that has never used project software. Work lives on boards, and each row is an item that can be a task, a client or a request, so the same tool fits project tracking and intake. The Free plan covers up to 2 seats with 3 boards, 3 Docs and 200+ templates. Basic adds unlimited items and unlimited free viewers with read-only access, which helps when managers only need to check progress. Standard adds 3 workflows plus automations and integrations at 250 actions a month each, and every paid plan includes the Sidekick AI assistant with a monthly AI credit allowance. The integrations page lists 850+ integrations and apps. The drawback is that automations do not start until Standard, and our location only showed EUR prices, so we could not verify the USD starting price.
