The monday.com Alternative
A monday.com alternative with the CRM, phone and invoices built in.
monday.com gives you flexible boards, and sells its CRM as a separate product. BaseCloud starts from the client record: orders, tickets and processes run on a Kanban board in the same system as your calls, texts, WhatsApp, quotes and invoices, on one subscription.

The CRM is a separate product
monday CRM has its own plans and its own bill, apart from the work management boards.
Automations are capped
monday.com Standard includes 250 automation actions a month.
No phone or texting
Calls, texts and WhatsApp messages to customers need other apps connected to the board.
One system for the work and the customer
What a monday.com alternative should include from day one
Boards built from your own columns
Fourteen column types, including currency, dates, choices with colors, users, files and buttons. Show the table as a Kanban board or a list, with search, filters and CSV export.
Every item belongs to a client
A card opens on the client’s record, next to their call recordings, emails, texts, quotes and invoices. Sales, support and operations work from the same history.
Calls, texts and WhatsApp in the CRM
Reps call from the client record, and every call is recorded and transcribed. Two-way texting and WhatsApp sit in the same inbox.
Automation tied to the board
A workflow starts when a row is added or a stage changes, then messages the customer, assigns the next person or raises the invoice. There is no monthly limit on runs, and our team builds your first workflows with you during onboarding.

Questions
monday.com alternative questions, answered
Is BaseCloud cheaper than monday.com?
Not for boards alone. monday.com Standard is $12 a seat a month. BaseCloud is a full CRM sold per package: Foundation is $583 a month billed yearly for up to 5 users, with the phone system, texting, WhatsApp, quotes, invoices and boards included. Compare it with monday.com plus the CRM, calling and invoicing tools you would add. The software cost calculator adds those up.
What does monday.com have that BaseCloud doesn’t?
Timeline and Gantt views, subitems nested inside an item, guest access and a free plan. BaseCloud boards track work in stages, with tick-box checklists on the card, and have no project timeline.
When should I stay with monday.com?
If you manage internal projects with timelines and dependencies, monday.com is the better tool. BaseCloud fits work that belongs to customers, such as orders, tickets, claims, installations and onboarding.
Can I move my monday.com boards across?
There is no one-click monday.com importer. Clients and contacts import by CSV. For the board, you create a table with matching columns, then add the open items by hand or put them in a Google Sheet and let a workflow add them row by row.
