What does monday.com do well?
monday.com is a very flexible work management platform: boards for projects, tasks, operations and also sales with monday sales CRM.
If your company already runs everything in monday and only wants a simple sales pipeline, staying there makes sense.
What you would have to add
WhatsApp, through third-party apps
Bringing WhatsApp into monday takes marketplace apps or connectors like Zapier or Make.
No payments or collections of its own
monday doesn't process payments or track overdue installments. The board may say "won", but collecting happens in another tool.
Per-user pricing
You pay per user, with a minimum number of seats per plan.
