Monday.com is colourful and feature-dense, but it bills every viewer and most of the surface lives behind paid add-ons. Taulu gives you the kanban, the canvas, and the voice room in one place, charges only the people who actually edited that month, and keeps your data in the EU. Free forever for one board, full features.
Rows checked against shipped behaviour, not a sales deck. The bottom group lists what Monday.com still does better — the comparison is more useful when honest.

OAuth read-only. We never write back to Monday.com. Re-run the import any time to refresh.
From Settings → Integrations, click Connect Monday. We use Monday's read-only OAuth (boards:read) — no permission to write items, change values, or move groups.
Browse your Monday workspaces and pick the board to import. Both standard and main-board structures are supported.
Groups become kanban columns. Items become kanban cards keeping their name, person assignment, status, due date, tags, subitems (flattened to checklist), and updates summary. Files come across. Mirror and connect-board columns are noted in the import summary.
Text, status, person, date, tag, checkbox, and file columns map to first-class card fields. Formula, mirror, connect-board, and dashboard columns appear in the card description as a structured fields block — the data isn't lost, it just isn't a kanban field.
Yes. Subitems become a checklist on the parent card, preserving the title, status, and assignee of each.

Yes. The import is read-only on the Monday side — we never write back. Re-import to refresh after changes.
Almost certainly. Monday bills per seat with a 3-seat minimum and tier-gates most useful features. Taulu charges €2 per active editor / month with a €4 minimum invoice. People who didn't edit any board that month are never billed. Viewers are always free.
