monday.com vs Stackfield

monday.com

Assignments, in-task comments with mentions, shared boards with Gantt views, and dashboards that compile multiple boards — including workload and budget metrics — give teams real shared planning. But we found no public information on guest or client access, dependency handling, or a permissions model beyond dashboards being private or public, which is exactly where the marketing copy stops.

Stackfield

Assignments, comments, four dependency types with automatic planning and a critical path, plus cross-project portfolios from Premium are all documented, and the External role comes free from Premium with permission boundaries spelled out (local links do not extend access). We found no public information on a workload or capacity view — the member perspective only counts tasks by status — so I stop short of the top.

Cross-board dashboards are real enough to be documented in the API down to widget settings and kinds, with budgets, workloads and utilization named as widget metrics. Still, exports are claimed only as "instantly exportable" with no format named, and we found no public information on time tracking or scheduled report delivery.

Stackfield

Reports exist, group by status, custom fields and rooms, are printable and exportable, and the dashboard aggregates task counts per member with cross-project portfolios to monitor multiple projects. We found no public information on time tracking, budgets or utilization, and no export format is ever named, which keeps this below the configurable-reporting standard.

The catalogue is broad (850+ apps), the GraphQL API and webhooks are documented, and an app marketplace with SDKs and MCP/AI surfaces exists — that is a real ecosystem, not marquee logos. The gaps a buyer will feel are the missing competitor import path (Excel template import is all that is evidenced) and API caps of 1,000 calls a day on Standard, which is exit friction sitting in a pricing table.

Stackfield

There is a documented API with JWT-secured incoming webhooks across several content types, and a video shows importing boards from other tools via Excel. But we found no public information on native calendar, Slack/Teams or file-storage integrations, the API is capped at one request per second, excludes end-to-end encrypted rooms, gates task operations behind Premium and pushes user/room management to Enterprise — Zapier and IFTTT only appear reachable through hand-rolled webhooks.

A free plan with no credit card and unlimited duration, plus 200+ templates and a template center, means a small team can start without talking to anyone. The "up and running in minutes" line is the vendor's own copy, and we found no public information on guided setup or importers that pull existing work in from other tools.

Stackfield

Self-serve signup with a 14-day trial, "No credit card required" and "No minimum contract period" is published, and video tutorials cover an Excel import for pulling existing boards in. We found no public information on guided setup or templates, so I cannot credit the fast lane to the top.

The captured pages give nothing on data residency, ownership control, or subprocessors, and the vendor's own pages were not found confirming any of it. What the trust pages do show is a wall of certifications and privacy-program badges — including participation in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework — for a Tel Aviv-headquartered company listed on NASDAQ, which is compliance paperwork over European substance.

Stackfield

A Munich GmbH under exclusive German and EU jurisdiction, EU-resident data with a click-through DPA, a named data protection officer, BSI C5 and ISO 27001 claims, and a published subprocessor list of German and Estonian firms make the core substance real. The privacy policy nonetheless concedes processing in countries the EU deems safe and, under the Data Privacy Framework, in the USA — and the administrator-activated Giphy integration sits in New York — while we found no public information establishing who ultimately controls the company.

monday.com

24/7 support is claimed across the site and backed by a help center, a community forum, and a genuine academy with certifications and diplomas. But we found no public information on response times, published SLAs, or per-plan support gating beyond "Enterprise support" being the top tier — and no public information on a changelog, which is where I expect dead product to hide.

Stackfield

Live chat, a support channel, email and phone are published, screen-sharing sessions are offered over Stackfield, TeamViewer or Webex, and the help center runs deep across Gantt, email integration, the dashboard and the developer API. We found no public information on a visible changelog, published support response times, or which plans get which channel — the service level agreement on offer covers platform availability, not support.

The price is determined by the user's billing country.") with the billing discount flagged as "Yearly SAVE 18%". But every headline figure is an annually-billed number wrapped in promotional discounts ("Special offer: €30 off / month"), the month-to-month rate never appears on the captured page, and Enterprise — home of custom AI credits and the top support tier — is simply "custom price".

Stackfield

Every tier carries an exact figure — "€ 9", "€ 14", "€ 18", "€ 28 per User and Month (when paid yearly)" — with priced add-ons (AI at "€ 3,90", OFFICE at "€ 2,40"), VAT treatment stated as quoted net and exclusive of VAT, and Starter's room and user caps shown up front. But every headline number is the yearly-billed one: a monthly option is implied by "Yearly (SAVE 17 %)" without its price being published, and the on-premise offering appears with no number at all.
