MonsterOps is free for up to 10 seats, but the jump after that is steep. Plus is $129 per month, or $99 per month billed annually, and Advanced is $499 per month billed annually. Role-based permissions, disaster recovery and auditing are only on the $499 Advanced plan. An account is also required, so there is no anonymous test.
Notion AI is the gentler alternative for goals and meeting notes: a free tier, Plus at $12 per member, and AI features for writing, workspace search and meeting notes. You would build your own goal and metric structure rather than get a ready operating system with Rocks and leadership meetings. Zapier is not a replacement but a connector: it has a free tier and Professional from $19.99 for 750 tasks a month, useful if your real problem is moving data between the tools you already use. Neither gives you MonsterOps's built-in MonsterAI assistant tied to your goals.
