ConsultancyOS vs monday.com
monday.com is a flexible work OS you can shape into almost anything with boards, automations and templates. The trade-off is that the PSA layer a consulting firm needs is something you build and maintain yourself. ConsultancyOS gives you that layer out of the box, plus an AI delivery engine.
monday.com is a general-purpose work operating system used across industries for project tracking, CRM, and workflows. It is highly customisable, but billing rates, retainers, utilisation, forecasting and margin are things you assemble from boards and apps rather than native, consulting-grade modules.
