monday AI is credit-based with add-on costs. Ganty includes 100 AI generations/month on Standard and unlimited on Pro at no extra charge.

From a team that switched
“We loved Monday's look and feel, but the per-seat pricing kept hurting as we grew. Switching to Ganty cut our cost to under a third, and the team actually finds the Gantt view easier to read.”
