Why sales teams switch from monday.com to NetHunt CRM
A CRM built for sales, not adapted from a project board
Customers stored as items on a board? Here, each customer has a record with linked deals, contacts, companies and a full activity timeline, so reps see the whole relationship in one view.
Your inbox is where you sell, from the first plan
On monday CRM, email sync starts on the Standard plan. Our pipeline sits in Gmail on every plan, so reps send, log and follow up without switching tabs or a long learning curve.
Add customer details without counting columns
monday limits columns by plan. NetHunt includes unlimited custom fields on every plan, so you can capture buying requirements, qualification details and other information without upgrading.
Grow your database without upgrading for record capacity
monday caps active contacts and deals. NetHunt CRM includes unlimited records on every plan, giving you room for prospects, customers and past opportunities.
“I do not want another window on my computer.”
"I want it linked with my Gmail — and it is perfect and simple."
NetHunt vs monday CRM: feature comparison
Both offer visual pipelines, automation and email tools. Compare the limits, billing model and working environment behind the features — not just whether they appear on a checklist.

When your sales workflow outgrows a project management tool
If maintaining your monday setup takes too much attention, test the daily sales work first. Keep customer history, outreach, task management and reporting connected to the same records.
Email customers from Gmail, not from a board
With NetHunt CRM, you write emails in Gmail as usual, with no separate editor or copy-pasting between tools. Each email is saved to the right deal, so the whole team sees the conversation.
A sales setup without constant upkeep
Start with folders for companies, contacts and deals, and pipelines with stages. Add fields when you need them, without rebuilding boards as your process grows.
Lead tracking built for sales
Capture leads from web forms, move them through your pipeline and track expected revenue by stage on a dashboard in built-in reports. You don't need to design a board first.
A customer overview, not a board item
Open one record to see linked deals, contacts, companies, tasks and the full activity timeline. Your team reviews the whole relationship without opening separate boards.
Task management linked to each deal
Create follow-up tasks from any email or record, with owners and due dates. Every task stays connected to the customer, so nothing depends on a separate board.
Pay only for the people who use it
Add users one at a time, with no minimum seat count or seat blocks. Give every rep access without paying for empty seats.

Questions about monday.com alternatives
Which is the best monday.com alternative for a small team?
NetHunt CRM is a sales-focused alternative to monday. It helps teams manage customer relationships, conversations, opportunities and follow-ups. If you mainly manage projects, Trello, Asana and ClickUp offer strong collaboration features. Choose the right software by the work your team does every day.
How does NetHunt CRM pricing compare with monday pricing?
NetHunt starts at $24 per user/month with annual billing. monday Basic starts at $12 per seat/month with annual billing, subject to its seat bundles.
Entry pricing alone won’t show the real cost. Compare the plan, billable seats, email tools, automation allowances and integration requirements your team needs. NetHunt is not automatically the cheaper alternative.
Does NetHunt CRM have sales automation?
Yes. Business and higher plans include automation for assigning leads, creating tasks, sending emails and updating records. Build a visual workflow with conditions, delays and different paths.
monday also provides automation. Compare your actual workflow and expected action volume rather than assuming either product has unlimited capacity.
Can I connect WhatsApp and other messengers to NetHunt CRM?
Yes. NetHunt CRM supports WhatsApp, Telegram, Instagram and Facebook Messenger connections. Personal WhatsApp and Telegram integration is available from Basic Plus. Account allowances vary by plan.
During your test, connect the channels your customers actually use and check how conversations appear against their records.
Can I use AI with NetHunt CRM?
Yes. Connect a compatible AI assistant through MCP to search customer data, summarize communication, analyze performance or update records. monday also supports MCP, so AI connectivity alone is not an exclusive NetHunt CRM advantage.
Can NetHunt CRM replace project management software?
NetHunt CRM supports tasks, linked records and automated handoffs for customer-related work. It is not a complete replacement for specialist project management software.
If your team needs a Gantt chart, time tracking, task dependencies or resource management, evaluate those requirements separately. Keep the tools that support delivery and use NetHunt CRM for sales.
Should I compare Asana, ClickUp and Trello too?
Include Asana, ClickUp and Trello if your main problem is project management or team task coordination. If you are choosing a sales system, start with customer history, communication, pipeline visibility and follow-up requirements.
The right alternative to monday.com depends on which job you need to replace.
Can I move my existing customer data to NetHunt CRM?
Yes. Import supported data through CSV and map it to your NetHunt CRM fields. Test a sample first, then check record relationships and anything stored outside standard columns. Recreate automation and integration settings separately.
Is there a free plan?
NetHunt CRM offers a 14-day trial rather than an ongoing free plan. monday’s free plan applies to its work management product, not monday CRM. Compare the specific products when reviewing free alternatives.
