The monday.com universe of products is always expanding and we’ve received a lot of questions from you, our customers, about when to use which product.
Here, we’re focusing on two products that may seem interchangeable but, in fact, have some pretty big differences that can affect how efficiently you work: monday work management and monday sales CRM.
Let’s start with our most frequently asked question:
What’s the difference between monday work management and monday sales CRM?
While the underlying Work OS building blocks that each product runs on are the same, the products themselves have some big differences.
These building blocks are things like boards, automations, dashboards, and the other core elements that make up any monday.com account. The differences between the two products are in how the building blocks help customers get work done within each product.

Which product should you use?
We know that some people use monday work management to run their sales pipeline. And we’re not surprised. After all, It’s a super customizable and powerful platform that can manage any kind of work.
But, we recommend that sales teams manage their work on monday sales CRM. Here’s why:
- There’s a unique set of features that are available only in monday sales CRM – like mass emailing, the funnel widget, and the leaderboard widget, and more. There will continue to be new features released exclusively for monday sales CRM customers.
- Workspaces come loaded with pre-made boards, called “entity boards”, and include the essentials for running a sales pipeline (think: leads, accounts, activities, and more.) This makes setting up the stages of your CRM simple and quick.
- Entity boards operate slightly differently from regular boards – they’re already connected to each other via automations. As your team works, items will be automatically updated and adjusted and new connections will be created based on triggers you set.

Of course! The two products are siblings in the monday.com family. They’re built specifically to work seamlessly together so your sales-related teams can use a CRM and everyone else can use the monday work management platform they know and love. Both products live under your organization’s monday.com account.
Switching between the two products takes just one click and team members and departments can still tag each other and communicate with full visibility, no matter what product they’re using.
