# Bitrix24 vs monday.com

monday.com is a work-OS that grew into a CRM. Bitrix24 is a CRM that grew into a work-OS. The shape matters: if your hard problem is sales pipeline + telephony + comms, Bitrix24 wins; if it is cross-team project visibility with light CRM bolted on, monday.com wins. Auspex has shipped both — here is when each is the right call.

↳ Our verdict

Pick Bitrix24 if sales pipeline, telephony, and customer comms are your core problem. Pick monday.com if cross-team project visibility is the core problem and CRM is a side-need. Mixing both for a 30-person SMB is usually wrong — it doubles licence cost without doubling value.

## Frequently asked

Can I run Bitrix24 for CRM and monday.com for project management together?

Technically yes, and we have done it for two clients with very specific reasons. For 90% of SMBs it is wrong — you pay for two systems, train staff on two UIs, and end up with the customer record split. Pick one, and bend it to both jobs.

Which one is cheaper for a 25-person team?

Bitrix24 — Standard at flat fee covers 50 users; monday.com Pro is per-seat, so 25 users cost roughly 3× more on annual TCO. The price gap closes if you only need monday.com Basic without CRM features.

We are pure agency / pure tech — does monday.com win for us?

For agencies and tech teams whose primary daily workflow is project visibility (timelines, milestones, dependencies) with light CRM, yes — monday.com is built for that exact shape. We deploy it for those clients without hesitation.

What about migration between them?

Doable in either direction in 2–4 weeks for SMB-scale data. Pipelines and contacts map cleanly; custom dashboards and complex automations always need rebuilding because the underlying primitives differ.
