Choose the tool that delivers what your team needs most, not just what costs the least. Let\u2019s see what\u2019s included in the different pricing plans for monday dev and Jira.<\/p>\n<h3>monday dev pricing<\/h3>\n<p>Here are the 4 <a href=\"https:\/\/monday.com\/blog\/product\/monday-com-pricing-which-plan-is-right-for-you\/\">pricing plans for monday dev<\/a>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Basic:<\/b> Starting at $9\/seat\/month, the Basic tier lets you plan and manage your team\u2019s Scrum processes and create a dashboard based on one board. It includes unlimited free viewers and items, dev templates, and iOS and Android apps.<\/li>\n<li><b>Standard:<\/b> Starting at $12\/seat\/month, the Standard plan enables product workflow execution with advanced capabilities and create a dashboard that combines up to 5 boards. It includes Timeline and Gantt views, sprint management, roadmap planning, and guest access.<\/li>\n<li><b>Pro:<\/b> Starting at $20\/seat\/month, the Pro tier enables collaboration and reporting on high-level product roadmaps, as well as creating a dashboard that combines up to 10 boards. It includes time tracking, Agile reporting, cross-team roadmaps, feature requests, and private boards.<\/li>\n<li><b>Enterprise:<\/b> Get a custom quote and learn how to create a dashboard that combines up to 50 boards and leverages advanced analytics and enterprise-grade security.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<a class=\"cta-button blue-button\" aria-label=\"Try monday dev\" href=\"https:\/\/auth.monday.com\/p\/software\/users\/sign_up_new?origin=hp_fullbg_page_header#soft_signup_from_step\" target=\"_self\">Try monday dev<\/a>\n<h3>Jira pricing<\/h3>\n<p>Jira pricing works on a sliding scale where organizations pay less per user the more users they have. Let\u2019s look at Jira\u2019s plans:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Free:<\/b> Jira\u2019s free plan is only for teams of up to 10 and has a 2 GB file storage limit. It includes unlimited project boards, backlog and timeline views, reporting and insights, and community support.<\/li>\n<li><b>Standard:<\/b> Starting at $7.53\/user\/month, the Standard plan offers customer support during local business hours. It includes 250 GB of storage, audit logs, the ability to set user roles and permissions, and anonymous access (for customers to view and submit bugs and feature requests).<\/li>\n<li><b>Premium:<\/b> Starting at $13.53\/user\/month, the Premium tier lets you plan and track work across multiple teams and projects. It also includes advanced roadmaps, AI-powered capabilities, sandbox and release tracks, unlimited file storage, and 24\/7 support for critical issues.<\/li>\n<li><b>Enterprise:<\/b> Get a custom price (available only on annual billing, for a minimum of 801 users), covering multiple sites, centralized security controls and user subscriptions, and 24\/7 enterprise support.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Total cost of ownership<\/h3>\n<p>With a straightforward per-seat pricing model, each user license with monday dev gives access to the core platform with features varying by plan level. This can be more cost-efficient for engineering teams because one license replaces the need for multiple additional tools.<\/p>\n<p>Although Jira does offer a free plan for up to 10 users, the combined cost of tools can be higher than the equivalent all-in-one subscription from monday dev. For instance, depending on your plan level, you might need to purchase add-ons like Advanced Roadmaps, Jira Align, Confluence, and Dashboard Hub.<\/p>\n<p>So before you decide on a platform, factor in the total cost of ownership rather than the starting price alone.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-block\" id=\"text-block-4\">\n<h2 class=\"h2 text-block__title\">monday vs. Jira: feature comparison<\/h2>\n<p>Both platforms come packed with features to help development teams plan product roadmaps, manage sprints, and track issues.

Next, we\u2019ll explore how monday dev simplifies the experience for both technical and non-technical teams.<\/p>\n<h4>Workflow flexibility and customization<\/h4>\n<p>Jira provides unparalleled customization capabilities for workflows, issue types, fields, and permissions. \u200bTeams can model very sophisticated processes, but it requires expert Jira admin expertise to configure and maintain them.\u00a0 With monday dev, teams can tailor boards with custom columns, statuses, and automations without coding and any specialist admin.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">After comparing 3 different solutions, Steven Hamrell, Director of Product Management at <a href=\"https:\/\/monday.com\/customers\/callbox\"><span class=\"s1\">Call Box,<\/span><\/a> notes:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p2\">The other systems we explored were rigid and lacked the ability to nest and marry items together. They were also so complex that it would also require a full-time administrator to run. We loved that anyone on the team could easily get up to speed with monday dev.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h4>Agile, Waterfall, and hybrid methodologies<\/h4>\n<p>Built with Agile software development in mind, Jira offers comprehensive support for Scrum and Kanban. However, if you want to run traditional Waterfall projects, you\u2019ll likely need to add Gantt chart plugins from the marketplace. On the other hand, monday dev offers full support for Agile and Waterfall workflows so teams can work the way that fits them best.<\/p>\n<h4>Collaboration and knowledge sharing<\/h4>\n<p>Jira relies on multiple tools to cover collaboration and knowledge management. It uses Confluence to handle long-form documentation, requirements, and wikis that link to Jira issues. Although it\u2019s a powerful pairing, teams have to juggle 2 tools, increasing silos and admin burden. In contrast, monday dev includes monday workdocs \u2014 collaborative documents linked directly to boards and projects, where engineering teams and non-technical colleagues can collaborate on requirements docs, sprint plans, or retrospectives in one place.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Mitchell Hudson, Head of Technology at <a href=\"https:\/\/monday.com\/w\/customer-stories\/luxie-tech\"><span class=\"s1\">luxie tech<\/span><\/a>, recalls:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p2\">A lot of the tools we tried were just too rigid to meet our needs. We had to connect multiple products to get the results we wanted, which created even more friction between our teams. With monday dev, everyone at luxie tech has access to the information they need to do great work.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h4>Portfolio management and reporting<\/h4>\n<p>Jira can provide reports and multi-level plans, but maximizing those capabilities may involve separate applications and expertise to configure them. With monday dev, you get built-in performance dashboards, multi-level hierarchy, roadmap views, and advanced reporting out-of-the-box, simplifying portfolio management for engineering leads.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\">Using monday dev, <a href=\"https:\/\/monday.com\/customers\/callbox\"><span class=\"s1\">Call Box<\/span><\/a> can connect the execution of engineering tasks to the larger company strategy by tying epics to quarters and project initiatives. And, from the epics, they can plan the team&#8217;s capability and resources based on big-picture priorities.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><b>Cross-org collaboration<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">monday.com is the only platform that connects software development with GTM teams by integrating the CRM. It also offers free viewer access, enabling org-wide alignment. In contrast, Jira requires non-engineers to adapt to technical tools or rely on separate interfaces.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-block\" id=\"text-block-5\">\n<h2 class=\"h2 text-block__title\">monday vs. Jira: integrations<\/h2>\n<p>Both monday dev and Jira pride themselves on seamlessly integrating with your favorite tools and apps so you can improve your team\u2019s workflow.<\/p>\n<h3>monday dev integrations<\/h3>\n<p>monday dev <a href=\"https:\/\/monday.com\/dev\/integrations\">integrates<\/a> with over 200 apps via a no-code integration hub.

Next, we\u2019ll explore how monday dev simplifies the experience for both technical and non-technical teams.<\/p>\n<h4>Workflow flexibility and customization<\/h4>\n<p>Jira provides unparalleled customization capabilities for workflows, issue types, fields, and permissions. \u200bTeams can model very sophisticated processes, but it requires expert Jira admin expertise to configure and maintain them.\u00a0 With monday dev, teams can tailor boards with custom columns, statuses, and automations without coding and any specialist admin.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">After comparing 3 different solutions, Steven Hamrell, Director of Product Management at <a href=\"https:\/\/monday.com\/customers\/callbox\"><span class=\"s1\">Call Box,<\/span><\/a> notes:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p2\">The other systems we explored were rigid and lacked the ability to nest and marry items together. They were also so complex that it would also require a full-time administrator to run. We loved that anyone on the team could easily get up to speed with monday dev.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h4>Agile, Waterfall, and hybrid methodologies<\/h4>\n<p>Built with Agile software development in mind, Jira offers comprehensive support for Scrum and Kanban. However, if you want to run traditional Waterfall projects, you\u2019ll likely need to add Gantt chart plugins from the marketplace. On the other hand, monday dev offers full support for Agile and Waterfall workflows so teams can work the way that fits them best.<\/p>\n<h4>Collaboration and knowledge sharing<\/h4>\n<p>Jira relies on multiple tools to cover collaboration and knowledge management. It uses Confluence to handle long-form documentation, requirements, and wikis that link to Jira issues. Although it\u2019s a powerful pairing, teams have to juggle 2 tools, increasing silos and admin burden. In contrast, monday dev includes monday workdocs \u2014 collaborative documents linked directly to boards and projects, where engineering teams and non-technical colleagues can collaborate on requirements docs, sprint plans, or retrospectives in one place.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Mitchell Hudson, Head of Technology at <a href=\"https:\/\/monday.com\/w\/customer-stories\/luxie-tech\"><span class=\"s1\">luxie tech<\/span><\/a>, recalls:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p2\">A lot of the tools we tried were just too rigid to meet our needs. We had to connect multiple products to get the results we wanted, which created even more friction between our teams. With monday dev, everyone at luxie tech has access to the information they need to do great work.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h4>Portfolio management and reporting<\/h4>\n<p>Jira can provide reports and multi-level plans, but maximizing those capabilities may involve separate applications and expertise to configure them. With monday dev, you get built-in performance dashboards, multi-level hierarchy, roadmap views, and advanced reporting out-of-the-box, simplifying portfolio management for engineering leads.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\">Using monday dev, <a href=\"https:\/\/monday.com\/customers\/callbox\"><span class=\"s1\">Call Box<\/span><\/a> can connect the execution of engineering tasks to the larger company strategy by tying epics to quarters and project initiatives. And, from the epics, they can plan the team&#8217;s capability and resources based on big-picture priorities.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><b>Cross-org collaboration<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">monday.com is the only platform that connects software development with GTM teams by integrating the CRM. It also offers free viewer access, enabling org-wide alignment.
