Why choose Monday or Element?
However, Monday.com offers a 14-day free trial while Element does not offer a free trial. Both platforms offer a free version and add-ons, as well as roles management and custom domain name. While Monday.com offers contact management, workspace and user activity tracking, and online document editing, Element offers chat, file sharing, mentions, voice messages, polls, groups/channels, GIF and emoji, and threads. Element also offers more advanced communication features such as video calls and screen sharing, while Monday.com has "Do not disturb" mode and better training resources.
