Monday.com free plan limitations
The free plan is limited to 2 seats and 3 boards, making it only practical for solo users or very small projects. If your team is larger, downgrading to free effectively locks out most members. Consider exporting your data and migrating to a free alternative like Trello or ClickUp before canceling if team size is an issue.
