The difference

Why firms choose Clientia over Monday.com.

Monday.com is excellent at tracking work in progress. Clientia is built around what happens after the handshake — the contract, the retainer, the obligations, and the relationship that outlasts any single project.

Native contracts vs. no contracts

Monday.com has no contract management. Getting signatures requires a third-party tool, with no obligation tracking, no clause library, and no audit trail native to the workspace. Clientia ships contract lifecycle management as a core module.

Billing that knows the contract

Monday.com requires a separate billing tool — and that tool knows nothing about the contract terms. In Clientia, a retainer is created from the signed contract. The billing schedule, the seat count, the renewal date — all derived from the source of truth.

A workspace, not a whiteboard

Monday boards are flexible, which means they're also formless. Every firm reinvents the wheel. Clientia ships with opinionated modules — clients, contracts, licenses, payments — so your data has shape from day one.

Pricing

Add a person. Their bill grows.
Ours doesn't.

Monday prices per seat and covers project management only. To match Clientia's feature set, you need Monday + DocuSign + a billing tool — three subscriptions, three logins, three data models.

Common questions

Switching from Monday.com.

What firms ask before moving from Monday.com to Clientia — answered honestly, in plain language.

Is Clientia a Monday.com alternative for client management?
Yes, for firms whose work centres on ongoing client relationships rather than project tasks. Monday.com is a flexible work OS that can be configured into a lightweight CRM. Clientia is a purpose-built professional services workspace with native contracts, retainers, license tracking, and a branded client portal — none of which Monday.com offers without third-party integrations.
Can Clientia replace our project management tool too?
Clientia handles client engagements, contracts, retainers, and obligations end-to-end. For task-level project management (kanban boards, sprint planning), most firms continue using Linear, Asana, or a similar tool alongside Clientia. The two layers don't overlap — Clientia is the source of truth for the client relationship, the project tool is the source of truth for delivery work.
What does Clientia replace from a Monday.com stack?
Most professional service firms running Monday.com as a CRM also pay for DocuSign (e-signature), Stripe or a billing tool (recurring revenue), and sometimes a separate client portal. Clientia replaces all four with one workspace.
Is Clientia more expensive than Monday.com?
Not when you compare equivalent functionality. Monday Pro at €18/seat looks cheaper at first, but matching Clientia's feature set requires Monday + DocuSign + a billing tool — roughly €50/seat. A 12-person firm pays around €636/month for that stack versus €119/month for Clientia Atelier.

A kanban board is not a client relationship.
