What kind of Monday.com alternative is it

Monday.com is a work management platform built around customizable boards. Hub for Teams is a collaboration suite from Liberation Technology Services, a US-based company. As a Monday.com alternative, its Teams+ plan includes a Project Manager for tracking work, plus team chat and custom workflows, in the same workspace as your files and email.

What this Monday.com alternative includes

Based on the Hub for Teams plan details on our site:

  • A Project Manager for large and small projects.
  • Task tracking with custom permissions.
  • File editing and analytics.
  • Team chat in the same workspace.
  • Custom workflows.
  • A 30-day free trial so you can test it with your team.

Other Hub plans add a mailbox, calendar, contacts, an office suite and video conferencing.

Why people look for a Monday.com alternative

People look for a Monday.com alternative when a flexible tool becomes a tool that needs maintaining. Boards, columns and automations take time to build, and small teams often want a clear list of tasks with owners and dates.

A second reason is tool overlap. Chat, files, video and tasks often come from four vendors, each duplicating part of the others. A suite that keeps them together means fewer logins and less to explain.

A third reason is seat-based pricing. Per-user costs and plan minimums add up across a team, so many owners compare what is included at each price before they commit.

What project management software should do for a small team

Good project management software answers three questions without a meeting: who owns this, when is it due, and where did we talk about it? A small team does not need every feature of an enterprise tool.

The test is simple: will your team open it on a busy Tuesday? If not, the feature list does not matter.

Suite: Hub for Teams adds chat, workflows and, on other plans, email, calendar and video.. Price: Teams+ is $9.75 per user per month.

Keep conversations next to the work

Decisions get lost when they live in a chat thread while the task lives somewhere else. Hub for Teams puts chat, files and the Project Manager in one workspace.

That makes it easier for a new person to see what happened and why.

Permissions and file editing

Custom permissions let you control who can see and change what, which matters when clients or contractors join a project. File editing in the workspace saves a round trip to another tool.

Analytics show where work is stuck, so you can act before a deadline slips.

What your team can do in one workspace

Hub for Teams brings the daily tools of a small team together:

Plan projects and assign tasks with owners and due dates.. Chat about work next to the tasks.. Share and edit files without leaving the workspace.. Build custom workflows for repeat processes.. Add email, calendar and video on higher plans.. You can start with Teams+ and move up if you need video conferencing or more storage.

Works with what you already have

Hub for Teams works in the browser and fits teams that already use our business email and hosting. You do not need to be a Liberation hosting customer to use it.

If you also want meetings, our video conferencing is part of the Teams+ Talk plan.

Moving from Monday.com to Hub for Teams Project Manager

Switching is easier if you start small. Export your boards from Monday.com, recreate your main projects in Hub, run both for a short overlap, and then retire the old tool once your team is comfortable.

Choose one pilot project first, so the team learns the tool on real work. If you would like help, our team can help structure your projects.

Who a Monday.com alternative is built for

Based on the organizations we serve:

Small businesses with a team of 3 to 50. Churches, schools and nonprofits. Professional services firms. Agencies running client projects. Independent media teams. Teams that want chat, files and tasks from one vendor. If your team spends more time managing the tool than the work, a simpler suite is worth a trial.

LTS has did a great job of offering what me and my clients need while offering personable support when I have had questions, custom needs, or whatever the situation may have been. I support several sites, and plan to continue hosting here for a long time. Their Hub For Teams has also been great for my church livestream as well.

I cannot say enough great things about Liberation Technology Services. They are excellent! A year ago, I decided to migrate my website to their hosting platform in order to move away from big tech, and gradually, moved all of my domains over. Andrew has been extremely helpful and I highly recommend the company not only for hosting and domains, but for their comprehensive suite of products. Customer service is 5 stars. You get a one-to-one relationship as well as fast, friendly and knowledgeable service. The best part is, they totally get the importance of privacy and freedom from big tech control. I'm 100% satisfied and having my services on their servers gives me peace-of-mind. I say, go for it and make the switch. The prices are also great and incredibly straight forward. No gimmicks.

The Hub for Teams program from Liberation Technology has more collaborative features than my small biz, husband/wife company with independent contractors have utilized - the calendar is great, with easy to save features for offline records, and sharing files works out really well, and with the security level we are glad to continue our subscription and recommend it highly.

I finally found an independent email provider that offers true privacy with no hassles. Everything that they provide is straightforward and if you have any concerns or questions they reply back very quickly with answers and help.

I happily moved my email and domain hosting from GoDaddy to Liberation and they assisted me every step of the way to ensure the smooth migration of about 15 years of emails! Everything is still going well and I am happy to have finally made the transition away from GoDaddy. Thank you, Liberation Tek!!

As a novice to building my own secure website, LibTek has been amazing. They responded quickly to all of my questions, resolved all of my issues simply and clearly. They kept me up to date on tickets in progress, reversed charges when I made an error, and their website builder has been excellent. So grateful for freedom oriented services!

The technology provided is exceptional. I don't worry about being hacked. The assistance that is always available is also exceptional. If I can't figure out how something works, someone is available to walk me through it. They have often reached out to me to be sure everything is working as i need.

After years of relying on Google for email and calendar services, I was frustrated when they suddenly started charging for my personal email and added me to a Workspace I didn’t need—especially since I already pay for a separate Workspace for my business with nine team members. I'm so happy I found liberation from that system and made the switch. It feels great to finally have control and clarity.

Liberation is a small, agile tech services company that has really helped me get going with enterprise level solutions at startup friendly rates. I have had a great time working with the team at Liberation getting set up to migrate my servers over from DigitalOcean and AWS. And the best part is I know I am not going to be unexpectedly shut down because of some opinionated TOS nonsense. 100% recommended, you won't find a better provider.
