Pricing: $23 to $99 against $12 to $28

Copper has three plans from $23 to $99 a seat. monday CRM has four, three priced from $12 to $28 and Ultimate custom-priced. Both offer a free trial.

monday CRM starts at about half Copper's price, and its dearest published plan is under a third of Copper's top one. Copper's Basic plan also stops at 2,500 contacts.

Your inbox against your boards

Copper lives in Gmail and Calendar, adds prospects from LinkedIn without switching tabs, and syncs Drive and Contacts on every plan. Gmail is the only inbox it syncs, and projects sit next to deals.

monday CRM starts from boards, columns and statuses that you shape into a sales process. That takes design and upkeep, and it pays off for a company already working in monday.com.

Quotes and orders

monday CRM includes quotes and invoices from its $12 Basic plan. Copper gets quotes through a marketplace app.

Neither has sales orders, sample tracking or price lists. A team selling products fills those gaps outside the CRM in both.

AI and calls

Copper has no call recording, meeting summaries, CRM autofill or MCP. Follow-up drafts begin on Professional at $59.

monday CRM puts call recording, meeting summaries, follow-up drafts, CRM autofill and a dialer on Standard at $17, and supports MCP on every plan. On AI, monday CRM is well ahead, and cheaper.

Automation, email and messaging

Workflows and API access start at $59 on Copper's Professional plan and at $17 on monday CRM's Standard. Gmail sync is on every Copper plan, while monday CRM's email sync starts on Standard.

WhatsApp reaches Copper through marketplace apps and isn't supported by monday CRM. Neither supports Telegram. LinkedIn saving is on every Copper plan and missing from monday CRM. Single sign-on starts at $99 on Copper and is on the Enterprise plan at monday CRM.

We make PromptLab, so here is why product teams pick it over both.
