Where monday.com is still the better choice
We'd rather you picked the right tool than switched and regretted it.
Moving from monday.com
There is no one-click monday.com importer. For most teams the fastest route is describing the project to Akievo's AI planner and pulling across the tasks that are still open.
- 1Export each monday.com board to CSV or Excel from the board menu
- 2Create an Akievo account and open a new board
- 3Use the import tool to map your columns to lists, labels and due dates
- 4Or describe the project to the AI planner and let it rebuild the structure
