For Teams Ready to Switch
Don't Like Monday.com?
You're paying for Monday + Notion + ChatGPT + 3 other tools that don't talk to each other.
Replace all 5 with Waymaker. Every tool included at $19/user. Only AI consumption and Memory scale with higher tiers.
Sound Familiar?
Three Reasons Teams Switch from Monday.com
Price Keeps Rising
- •Started at $8/user, now paying $16-24/user
- •Email integration costs extra
- •Time tracking costs extra
- •Advanced features locked behind higher tiers
20-person team: $400-600/month for Monday alone
Still Need 4 Other Tools
- •Notion for real documentation
- •ChatGPT for strategic thinking
- •Separate OKR/goals tool
- •Nothing talks to each other
Total fragmented stack: $1,300-1,500/month
AI Doesn't Know Your Business
- •Generic ChatGPT wrapper, no context
- •Each board isolated, no memory
- •Team still using shadow ChatGPT accounts
- •No strategic frameworks built in
AI that forgets everything isn't worth paying for

Waymaker vs Monday.com: Your Questions Answered
Can I import my Monday.com data?
Yes. Monday provides CSV export of all boards, tasks, and project data. Our bulk import tool brings everything into Waymaker in minutes. For teams with 20+ users, we offer free migration assistance - we'll handle the entire transfer for you.
How is Waymaker's AI different from Monday's?
Monday's AI is generic ChatGPT bolted onto their platform. Each board is isolated - the AI doesn't know your other projects, team structure, or strategic goals. It forgets everything between sessions.
Waymaker's OneAI has persistent organizational memory. It knows your entire workspace, team, projects, and strategic frameworks. It remembers past decisions and gets smarter about YOUR specific business over time. This is AI built from day one for business context, not an afterthought.
Do I still need Notion and ChatGPT?
No. Waymaker includes full document management (wikis, rich text docs, markdown support) and OneAI for strategic thinking. You can eliminate both subscriptions and have everything in one integrated platform where AI actually knows your business context.
What about Monday's customization? I have complex workflows.
Monday's 40+ column types and infinite customization often create more problems than they solve. Teams spend weeks configuring boards and still don't know if they're using it "right."
Waymaker takes an opinionated approach based on 30+ proven business frameworks. Instead of asking "how do you want to configure your board?", we provide "here's how strategic planning works" with pre-built templates. Less analysis paralysis, more getting work done.
How long does switching take?
Most teams are fully operational in 1-3 days. Compare that to the weeks you spent setting up Monday initially. We offer a 30-day parallel run period - use both platforms during transition so you can switch with confidence.
What if I run out of AI credits?
This is a core Waymaker principle: AI enhances but never requires. Every feature works manually. If you run out of credits, switch to manual mode and keep working. Your business operations never depend on AI. Monday has the same limitation - their software works without AI too.
Is Waymaker really the same price as our Monday stack?
For most teams using Monday + Notion + ChatGPT + an OKR tool, yes. Here's the math for a 20-person team:
- • Monday Pro: $480/month
- • Notion Team: $300/month
- • ChatGPT Team: $400/month
- • OKR tool: $200/month
- • Total: $1,380-1,500/month ($69-75/user)
Waymaker Business tier is $79/user ($1,580/month for 20 users). Similar total cost, but everything's integrated with AI that knows your business. Or start cheaper with Platform tier at $19/user if you're a smaller team.
Why can't Monday just add these features?
Monday is fundamentally a visual taskboard company. They've tried to bolt on docs (Workdocs), AI (generic ChatGPT), and other features, but everything still revolves around boards and columns.
Adding persistent AI memory, strategic frameworks, and true document management would require rebuilding their entire platform from scratch. Waymaker was built from day one as a business operating system with AI, frameworks, and integration at its core - not retrofitted onto a task tracker.
