There are 5 ways to get a monday.com board into Google Sheets. They differ on 3 things: how fresh the sheet stays, whether edits can travel back, and what you pay. Pick by those 3 and the choice usually makes itself.
We make Monday to Sheets, one of the 5, so read this knowing who wrote it. The competitor figures below came off each vendor's own pages on 19 October 2026.
Short answer: if you need it once, use monday.com's own Excel export. If one board has to stay current in a sheet a few times a day, use a Sheets add-on. If monday.com is one of many sources, use a data platform like Coupler.io. If you need every change to fire an action somewhere else, use Zapier.

1. monday.com's Excel export
Open the board, use the menu at the top, and export to Excel. You get an .xlsx with the board's items, and you can choose to include subitems and updates. Then in Google Sheets, use File, then Import.
It's free and it takes a minute. It's also dead the moment you download it. The next change on the board doesn't reach the file, so a weekly report means a weekly export. monday.com's own help center also notes that updates written on subitems don't come out, only the parent item's.
Use it for a one-off, like an audit or a migration. The full walk-through is in export monday.com to Google Sheets.
2. A Google Sheets add-on (Monday to Sheets)
You install the add-on, open it in the sidebar of the sheet you want the data in, sign in to monday.com, and pick a workspace, a board and, if you want, one group. You choose the columns, and the items land in a tab.
From there each sync runs in one of 3 modes. Manual runs when you click. Scheduled runs every 3 hours, on Pro at $19 a month. Live updates within seconds of a change in monday.com, on Business at $39. Business also adds two-way sync, which pushes edits made in the sheet back to monday.com.
Manual and scheduled syncs run on Apps Script inside your own Google account, so the items go from monday.com's API straight into your sheet. Live sync is the exception: monday.com sends each change to our backend, which writes it into the sheet.
It handles one source, monday.com, and one destination, the sheet you opened it in. If that's your job, it's the cheapest way to keep a board current. If it isn't, keep reading.
Once the board sits in a tab, build a monday.com report in Google Sheets on top of it, with formulas that keep working when a column is renamed.
3. A data platform (Coupler.io)
Coupler.io is a web app that pulls from a long list of sources and loads into Sheets, Excel, BigQuery and others. For monday.com its page lists 8 data types, including boards, items, updates, users and activity logs. You sign in to monday.com and authorize it, with no API key to copy.
You pay for refresh speed. Its free plan is manual with 100 rows a run. Starter is $32 a month for a daily refresh. Hourly starts on Pro at $259 a month. A 15-minute refresh is on a custom plan. It's one-way: monday.com into the destination.
It wins when monday.com is one of several sources feeding the same sheet. Monday to Sheets vs Coupler.io has the full split.
