Pricing: $12 to $28 a seat against $99 plus $10 a seat

monday CRM's published plans run from $12 to $28 a seat a month, billed annually, with Ultimate custom-priced. Breakcold has one plan at $99 a month with one seat included, $10 for each extra seat, and 20% less billed annually. Both offer a free trial.

At three seats, monday CRM's $12 Basic plan costs $36 a month and Breakcold $119. The fairer match is Standard at $17, where monday CRM's call recording starts: five seats cost $85 there, against $139 on Breakcold, or $111.20 billed annually. Billed annually, Breakcold slips just below Standard at eight seats ($135.20 against $136), before any token top-ups beyond its 3,000 included AI actions.

Boards to shape against an inbox to work from

monday CRM is the friendliest way to build a CRM from boards and columns, and the team decides the process. Breakcold is built for the agencies, startups and consultants who sell through social channels, with a CRM around the inbox.

Both support pipelines, workflows and an API, with monday CRM's workflows and API starting at $17. Breakcold also lets you build custom objects.

Calls, meetings and AI

On monday CRM, the AI notetaker, call recording, summaries, follow-up drafts, CRM autofill and dialer all start on Standard at $17 a seat. Both support MCP.

Breakcold has a meeting recorder, summaries, follow-up drafts and CRM autofill on its one plan. The cost shows up in tokens: recording, AI workflows and email or phone lookups spend them, and its own example puts 300 active contacts at about $90 a month extra. It has no dialer.

WhatsApp, Telegram and LinkedIn

Breakcold supports WhatsApp, Telegram and LinkedIn, in one inbox with email. monday CRM has none of the three, and syncs email only from $17.

On monday CRM, buyers who message a rep directly leave no trace on the board.

Quotes and single sign-on

monday CRM includes quotes and invoices from its $12 Basic plan. Breakcold has no quotes, and neither tool has sales orders, samples or price lists.

Single sign-on needs monday CRM's Enterprise plan, and Breakcold doesn't offer it.

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