# How to sync monday.com to Google Sheets: 5 ways, priced 5 ways to get monday.com items into Google Sheets, from the free Excel export to two-way sync. What each costs and where it breaks. Checked 19 October 2026. 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.** ## The 5 ways at a glance | | Excel export | Monday to Sheets | Coupler.io | Unito | Zapier | | ------------------ | ------------------- | -------------------------- | ---------------------- | ---------------------- | -------------------------- | | Stays current | No, a snapshot | Every 3h, or live | Daily, hourly, 15 min | 5 to 15 min updates | Per event, 1 to 15 min | | Edits go back | No | Yes, on Business | No | Yes | Only if you build it | | Entry price | Free | $9/mo | $0 manual, $32/mo daily | Not published | Free, 100 tasks | | Where it runs | Your browser | Your Google account | Coupler's servers | Unito's servers | Zapier's servers | ## 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](/blog/export-monday-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](/blog/monday-com-report-google-sheets) on top of it, with formulas that keep working when a column is renamed. ![Screenshot of the Monday to Sheets sidebar setting up a sync: workspace, board and group pickers, When to sync set to Manual (on refresh), Direction set to One-way (monday.com to Sheets), and an Include dashboard toggle](/blog/images/monday-sync-setup-sidebar.png) ## 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.

A two-way sync service (Unito) Unito syncs records back and forth between tools, monday.com and Google Sheets among them. Its setup uses the Unito Spreadsheet Sync add-on, and its own guide says the sheet's first and last columns have to be "UnitoID" and "Last Modified". The same guide says only text and number fields sync from monday.com, and that a renamed column breaks the mapping until you fix it in Unito. Its pricing page doesn't list prices. It says the self-serve plans get "5-15 minute updates" and that plan prices show in the app during the trial. [Monday to Sheets vs Unito](/blog/monday-to-sheets-vs-unito) compares the two-way side in detail. ## 5. An automation tool (Zapier) Zapier doesn't copy a board. It reacts to events. A Zap like "new item in board, add a row to the sheet" fires once per new item, and each run spends a task. Changes to existing items need another Zap that finds the row and updates it. The free plan is 100 tasks a month with 2-step Zaps that check for new data every 15 minutes. Pro starts at $19.99 a month billed yearly for 750 tasks, checking every 2 minutes. Zapier is the right tool when the sheet is one stop in a longer chain, say a new item that also posts to Slack and creates an invoice. It's the wrong tool for a sheet that should mirror the board. [Monday to Sheets vs Zapier](/blog/monday-to-sheets-vs-zapier) runs the numbers. ## Pick by staleness, edits and sources Ask how stale the sheet can be. Once is the Excel export. A few hours is an add-on. Under an hour from several sources is a data platform. Ask whether anyone edits the sheet. If they do and it has to reach monday.com, you need two-way: our Business plan or Unito. Ask how many sources there are. One is an add-on. Several is Coupler.io. ## FAQ ### Is there a free way to sync monday.com to Google Sheets? The Excel export is free, but it's a one-time copy that never updates. Coupler.io's free plan is manual with 100 rows a run. Zapier's free plan covers 100 tasks a month. A sheet that stays current on its own costs money with every tool here. ### Can Google Sheets pull monday.com data by itself? Not without code. You could write Apps Script against monday.com's GraphQL API. The tools on this page are versions of that someone already wrote. ### Does a renamed monday.com column break the sync? It depends on the tool. Monday to Sheets maps by column ID, kept in a hidden row, so a rename only changes the header on the next sync. Unito's guide says you have to update the field mapping after a rename. ## Related reading - [Export monday.com to Google Sheets](/blog/export-monday-to-google-sheets), the free one-time route step by step. - [Monday to Sheets vs Coupler.io](/blog/monday-to-sheets-vs-coupler-io), one source versus many. - [Monday to Sheets vs Zapier](/blog/monday-to-sheets-vs-zapier), a mirror versus an event chain.
