Frequently Asked Questions
Does monday.com offer Australian data hosting?
Yes. monday.com launched its APAC data centre on AWS Sydney in July 2023. Australian accounts may be automatically assigned to the Sydney region based on the location of the first user who creates the account. This provides genuine data residency for Australian organisations. monday.com serves over 18,000 Australian customers including Canva, Tourism Australia, Officeworks, and Kmart.
Is monday.com priced in AUD for Australian customers?
No. monday.com prices all plans in USD globally. Australian customers pay in USD and should factor in currency conversion fees and exchange rate fluctuations when budgeting. As of March 2026, the Standard plan (most popular) is US$12/seat/month billed annually or US$14/seat/month billed monthly, with a minimum of 3 seats.
What is the minimum number of seats on monday.com?
The free plan supports up to 2 seats. All paid plans (Basic, Standard, Pro, Enterprise) require a minimum of 3 seats. This means the lowest-cost paid option is 3 x $9 USD = $27 USD/month (Basic, annual billing). Solo operators or pairs who outgrow the free plan must pay for at least one unused seat.
Does monday.com integrate with Xero?
Not natively. monday.com connects to Xero via the Luxie Tech third-party app available on the Xero App Store AU, or through integration platforms like Zapier, Make, and Unito. These integrations can sync invoices, contacts, timesheets, and purchase orders between the two platforms, but require setup and may incur additional subscription costs.

monday.com holds SOC 1 Type II, SOC 2 Type II, SOC 3, ISO 27001:2022, ISO 27017, ISO 27018, ISO 27032, and ISO 27701 certifications. The platform also supports GDPR, CCPA, and HIPAA compliance (Enterprise plan). Annual external audits are conducted as part of SOC 2 and ISO certification maintenance.
How does monday.com compare to Asana for Australian teams?
Both tools price in USD for AU customers. monday.com offers Australian data residency via AWS Sydney (available to APAC accounts) while Asana restricts AU hosting to Enterprise+ plans only. monday.com supports multiple assignees per task (Asana does not) and offers more visual customisation. Asana has a more generous free plan (10 users vs 2). monday.com requires minimum 3 seats on paid plans; Asana uses tiered seat increments.
