Questions
Asked when switching.
Can I build my own workflows in Operations Link, as in monday.com?
Within the work it already does — your own deal stages and custom roles — and with workflows on Professional and Enterprise. It is not a blank-board builder.
Does Operations Link track time?
Yes, on Professional and Enterprise: timesheets and time off, approved by role, feeding the next pay run. A tech’s finished visits become suggested time entries.
Can I bring my monday.com data across?
Your clients come in from a spreadsheet, and so do your team members; bank transactions import from a file. There is no one-click import from monday.com. Book a call and we will look at the rest with you.
What does Operations Link cost?
Essentials is $79 per person a month and Professional $129, billed in US dollars. Services are priced on their own, on Professional and Enterprise. We leave monday.com’s prices off this page because they change — their own pricing page has them.
Can I try it before I pay?
Yes. Fifteen days free on the plan you pick, with no credit card.
