Zapier's most used monday.com template adds a row to a Google Sheet when a new item is created on a board. That sounds like a sync. It isn't quite, and the difference shows up the first time someone changes a status.
We make Monday to Sheets, so read this knowing who wrote it. Zapier's figures came off its pricing page and its monday.com and Google Sheets templates on 19 October 2026.
Use Zapier if the sheet is one step in a longer chain, like a new item that also posts to Slack and opens an invoice. Use Monday to Sheets if the sheet should look like the board, with every item and every change, for reporting.
A Zap reacts, a sync mirrors
A Zap runs when an event fires on the board. "New item in board" fires once for each new item and adds one row. If that item's status changes tomorrow, the row doesn't change, unless you build a second Zap that finds the row and updates it. Deleting an item needs a third. That's 3 Zaps to keep working for one sheet.
Monday to Sheets copies the board as it stands. A run, or a change on live sync, writes the current values for every item into the tab. A status change shows up. A deleted item drops off on the next run. There's one setup per board.
Zapier charges per task
A task is one action that runs. One new item that adds one row is one task.
| Zapier plan | Price (billed yearly) | Tasks a month | Checks for new data |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 100 | Every 15 minutes, 2-step Zaps only |
| Pro | From $19.99/mo | From 750 | Every 2 minutes |
| Team | From $69/mo | From 2,000 | Every 1 minute |
Monthly billing costs more: Pro starts at $29.99 a month.
A board that gets 50 new items and 200 status changes a day is around 7,500 tasks a month once you add the update Zap. That's past the 5,000 tier, so it's the 10,000-task Pro tier at $129 a month billed yearly. Monday to Sheets doesn't count rows or changes: $19 for every 3 hours, $39 for live.
Backfill and history
A Zap starts from the moment you turn it on. The items already on the board don't come through unless you add them some other way.
Monday to Sheets syncs the whole board, or one group, on the first run.
