ProdGoal and Monday have an unlimited number of projects or workspaces that you can create.

Both in Monday and ProdGoal you can create projects from templates to get you started easily. You can also build it using custom features and customize it later however it suits you.

The same goes with boards. You get unlimited boards per project where you can organize your workflow the way it suits you and your team the best. ProdGoal’s unlimited boards are made with Kanban methodology in mind, so it brings all Kanban-related features to the table, or should I say, to the board.

And that’s where the similarities between Monday and ProdGoal end. While Monday has a limited number of columns you can create, ProdGoal lets you create an unlimited number of columns on a board. ProdGoal columns’ features are WIP limits, where you can set min and max limits, column types, type categories, and column policies.

The WIP limits change color to warn when going near or over the limit. This doesn’t affect the item creation or deletion in any way, however.

The column types have their color. You can create as many of them as you need. 5 predefined column type categories exist to place the column types in.

Unlike Monday, where you can create up to 1000 items, with ProdGoal there is an unlimited number of items you can create. Item types are also there to help you better organize the items.

The types are color-coded for easier recognition. They are unlimited also and you can create as many item types as you need. The categories in which you can place the item types can be created without a limit too.

There is a blocker flagging feature enabled, which helps to better communicate if an item is being blocked by another item. Then the item’s background turns to red if this option is on.

In ProdGoal you can assign tasks to any number of team members. An hourglass icon is there to show the card’s time spent in a status.

As for item attachments, Monday gives 500 MB of storage space in its free plan. ProdGoal has an integration with Google Drive so you never have to worry about running out of space.

There is no limit on the number of members you can invite. Not only that, but you can immediately assign them a task, whether they accepted the invitation or not.

If you want to invite guests to your Monday projects, you can invite up to 4 guests, in that 4 guests count as 1 seat for billing purposes. So you can’t invite guests for free. In ProdGoal you can.

As I already mentioned storage in the items section, ProdGoal gives its users 5MB of internal storage space, but with Google Drive integration it becomes unlimited. Monday offers 500 MB of its internal storage.

A feature unique to ProdGoal is the next-gen roadmap feature. Very flexible and easy to use, it offers advanced features for organizing the workflow. Columns and rows are collapsible to allow maximum focus on the tasks at hand.

WIP limits are also available in roadmap columns, just like in the board columns. You have 5 predefined column categories at your disposal.

Roadmap cards can be connected to board items. There is a progress bar on the roadmap card so you can track the progress of the board items’ status.

Another feature that can be found in the roadmap cards is a rich-text editor where you can describe the task in detail.

ProdGoal groups have a separate item view where you can organize tasks. You can make an unlimited number of groups as well. The thing with groups is that they automatically estimate when the tasks will be finished. The calculations are based on historical data. The accuracy of the calculations is determined by the number of tasks in the “Done” status category.

Additional options for the items in a group are made possible. You can connect the items to the roadmap cards in the item dropdown menu.
