"Monday.com has gorgeous dashboards. I get the appeal. But after watching agencies pay $14/user plus time tracking add-ons, then still need separate invoicing tools, I knew there had to be a better way. GitScrum puts the agency workflow first: sprints, time tracking, invoicing, client visibility. One price, everything included."
