monday.com alternative in Quebec: OKTO PSA, from quote to invoice
OKTO PSA is a monday.com alternative in Quebec for companies that sell work. monday.com sells boards you configure, priced per user; OKTO PSA comes with tickets, projects, the CRM and the invoice with GST and QST already built, at $300 a month for up to 10 users. For visual project management, monday.com remains the better choice.
monday.com or Quebec-made software: what is the difference?
The two are not the same kind of product. On its pricing page, monday.com talks about boards, columns and automations that each team builds its own way. OKTO PSA is trade software: the screens a service company needs are already there, and they follow each other from the client's request to the invoice.
Boards to build or screens already made
monday.com invites you to build your board your way with different column types. In OKTO PSA, the ticket, the project, the timesheet, the quote and the invoice exist on day one.
The seat or the tier
monday.com shows a price per user, per month, and its plans start at 3 users. OKTO PSA shows a price per tier of ten: adding a person inside the tier does not change the bill.
One grid per product or a single price
The monday.com pricing page has one grid for monday work management and another for monday CRM. At OKTO, work management, CRM and HR are included in the same price.
OKTO PSA and monday.com, criterion by criterion
Eight criteria you can check. The monday.com column only repeats what is written on its own site, on the monday CRM and monday work management pricing pages and on its security page, read on October 2, 2026 from Canada.

How much does monday.com cost for a Quebec SMB?
It depends on where you look from. monday.com adapts its displayed prices to the visitor's country: on October 2, 2026, the same French-language page showed Canadian dollar amounts in its grid and a euro amount in its FAQ. Here is what a visitor located in Canada saw that day, billed yearly. Check its site before you decide, then compare with the OKTO PSA price grid.
monday CRM: CAD 18, 23 and 39
Per user, per month, for the Basic, Standard and Pro plans. The Ultimate plan is on quote. Monthly payment exists; monday.com states that it is not a discounted rate.
monday work management: CAD 13, 17 and 26
Per user, per month, for the Basic, Standard and Pro plans. The Enterprise plan is on quote. A free plan covers up to 2 users.
Three users minimum
Paid plans start at 3 users, and beyond 40 you have to ask for a quote. On a yearly plan, payment is made in one instalment, in advance. Cancelling within 30 days gives a prorated refund.
At 10 users
At the displayed price per user, monday CRM Standard comes to $230 a month. OKTO PSA costs $300, with tickets, projects, invoicing and HR. For a CRM alone, monday.com is cheaper.
At 20 users
monday CRM Standard: $460 a month. monday CRM Pro: $780. OKTO PSA: $550. The Pro plan goes above $300 from 8 users.
At 30 users
monday CRM Standard: $690 a month. OKTO PSA: $700. The two amounts meet, but they do not buy the same thing: a CRM on one side, a CRM with work management and HR on the other.
When monday.com is the better choice
monday.com is the better choice when your first need is to organize projects and tasks visually, in a team that wants to shape its own boards. We would rather tell you now than after three demos.
You want to see your projects
monday work management offers calendar views and Gantt charts to follow upcoming tasks and keep deadlines. OKTO PSA manages projects and milestones, but its strength lies elsewhere: time, the contract, the invoice.
You run a portfolio of projects
Its product page lists portfolio management and resource management, for an overview of projects across teams and departments. OKTO PSA does not aim at that use.
You are one or two people
The free plan of monday work management covers up to 2 users. At that size, $300 a month is hard to justify if you bill neither hours nor contracts.
You want to try it alone, right now
monday.com offers a 14-day free trial with no payment method. OKTO PSA offers a seven-day trial on request, not self-serve: we show you the product, and an interactive demo runs in your browser with fictional data.
You want to build your own tool
Columns, automations, dashboards: monday.com is made for a team to assemble its tool. OKTO PSA does not offer custom fields, and it has no public API.
You only want a CRM
At 10 users, monday CRM Standard costs less than OKTO PSA. Without tickets, timesheets and invoicing to tie to sales, the price gap is not justified.
When OKTO PSA is the better choice
OKTO PSA fits better when you sell hours, contracts and projects, and the sale has to end in an invoice without anyone retyping anything. That is the case for an IT service provider, a contractor or a professional firm.
Hosting has to be in Quebec
Your instance and its dedicated database are hosted in Quebec. Traffic goes through Cloudflare's protection network, and a backup copy is kept off site, in Canada. The commitments are on the security page, and the questions to ask any vendor are on the CRM and Law 25 page.
The sale has to end in an invoice
What gets signed becomes a contract, and the contract becomes an invoice with GST and QST. The Quebec CRM in OKTO PSA shares its database with tickets, projects and invoicing.
You do not want to build the tool yourself
Tickets, SLAs in business hours, timesheets and contracts are already there. To place OKTO PSA against boards and spreadsheets, read the comparison with general-purpose tools or the other comparisons.
How do you move from monday.com to OKTO PSA?
