monday Smart Call is priced through AI credits instead of a flat per-seat fee. You pay only for connected call minutes and any follow-up questions you ask about a call, with no separate charge per business number or for storage.

Use this guide to understand how credits are calculated and how admins can cap usage.

 

How pricing works 

What's included Cost
Connected call time, including recording, transcription, AI summary, and storage 5 AI credits per connected minute
Number of business numbers per account Up to 5; contact your account manager for more

 

Ringing time is not counted toward your usage; only connected minutes use credits, and there's no separate monthly fee per number or storage cap. Using Sidekick for follow-up questions and insights into your call consumes its own credits. Read our article on credit consumption in monday Sidekick.

 

Note: If monday adjusts the credit rate, you'll be notified at least 30 days in advance, and the change will only apply to new billing cycles.

 

Setting per-user usage limits 

Admins can cap how many AI credits a team member spends on monday Smart Call each month.

1Go to Admin > AI governance > Usage limits.

2Create a new limit policy in the monday Smart Call section.

3Set the limit for a specific user or for the feature as a whole. The limit resets monthly.

 

Estimating your usage 

For most sales and field teams, monday Smart Call's per-minute model works out cheaper than a flat per-seat calling tool, since you're only charged for time actually spent on the phone. If your team makes a very high volume of calls each day, it's worth comparing your expected monthly minutes to your current calling costs before switching.

You can track actual usage, cost, and a per-user breakdown from the Usage Dashboard in Account Settings.
