The Gantt question
Gantt charts are the core of how most construction, facilities and project teams plan work — predecessors, critical path, dates that shift when one task slips. Sheetem includes full Gantt (dependencies, critical path, baselines) in every plan.
monday.com reserves Gantt for its Standard plan ($12/seat/month, 3-seat minimum = $36/month). That means a team of 5 editors who want Gantt pays $60/month on monday.com Standard vs $75/month on Sheetem — or $45/month on the founding member deal.
The math changes quickly as team size grows. Monday.com's 3-seat minimum also means solo operators or two-person teams pay for a seat they don't use.
Sheetem has no minimum. One editor pays one editor price. Clients, subcontractors, and managers who only need to view are always free — on any plan.
Sheetem is a good fit if…
- You need Gantt charts and want them without paying for a higher plan
- Many people need to see the plan — clients, subcontractors, managers — but only a few edit it
- You want spreadsheet-style formulas and cross-sheet references for calculations
- You'd rather have one flat price than figure out which tier includes what you need
- You work in construction, facilities, agencies, events or IT and want templates built for your industry
Stay with monday.com if…
- Your team depends on automated workflows — "when status changes, notify the owner"
- You need native integrations with Slack, Salesforce, HubSpot or a wide app ecosystem
- AI-assisted columns, summaries and automation building matter to your team
- You need Workdocs, a native time-tracking module, or CRM/Dev add-ons
- Your company requires SAML SSO or enterprise admin controls
Moving from monday.com
Export your boards from monday.com as CSV and import them into Sheetem with Import CSV. Columns map across by name; you can set each one to the right type (date, dropdown, number, checkbox) from the column menu. If your board has a Gantt dependency structure, you'll want to set up the predecessor column after import. Or start from a Sheetem template and paste your rows in — most construction and project templates are already set up with dates and dependencies.
