Zinn® Boards vs monday.com for client work
Zinn® Boards and monday.com compared for agencies: per-seat pricing with a 10-seat minimum versus one price per organisation, free plans, guests and AI.
The short answer
monday.com charges per seat, with a ten-seat minimum on its paid plans. Zinn® Boards charges once for your whole organisation, so a three-person studio is not paying for ten.

Why teams choose Zinn® Boards over monday.com
Clients get a filtered view of the board and can raise requests — on every plan, including free.
Unlimited boards and people from $9 a month.
Where it is the better choice
monday.com is a big, flexible work platform with many column types, automations, integrations and dashboards. For a company running many kinds of work across departments, it can do far more than a client board.
Where Zinn® Boards fits better
Zinn® Boards fits a small agency or freelancer who would otherwise pay for ten seats: one flat price per organisation, a client view built in, and a free board to start.
How to move from monday.com in three steps
Start with one live client project
Create a free board for the project you are busiest on and add its open cards. There is no importer from monday.com yet, so moving the work in progress — not the archive — is the quickest start.
Invite the team and decide what the client sees
Add your team, then mark the cards, columns and comments the client may see. Everything else stays agency-only, and labels are never shown to clients.
Send the client their link
Share a read-only link that needs no account, or invite the client to raise requests and answer questions on the card. Keep monday.com for older projects until they close.
Questions about moving from monday.com
Can I import my boards from monday.com?
Not today — there is no importer yet. Most teams move their live projects by hand and keep monday.com for finished work. Cards can also be created in bulk through the API.
Do my clients need to pay for a seat?
No. Zinn® Boards is one price per organisation, not per person, so inviting a client never adds to your bill. A read-only share link needs no account at all.
What does Zinn® Boards cost compared with monday.com?
One board with up to five people is free for good. Pro and Business are a flat monthly price per organisation with unlimited boards and people — see the prices under the table and the pricing page.
