Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Astro

  • Limited to static site generation and server-side rendering; real-time applications requiring constant client-server communication are unsuitable
  • Smaller ecosystem compared to Next.js; fewer third-party component libraries and integrations readily available
  • Build time increases with large content volumes (1,000+ pages); incremental builds not yet as optimised as Gatsby or Next.js
  • API routes and serverless functions are less mature than Next.js; complex backend integrations require additional tooling

Monday Sales CRM

  • Every CRM plan carries a 3 seat minimum, so a solo user or a pair still pay for three
  • Automation actions are metered monthly, at 250 on Standard against 25,000 on Pro, a hundredfold gap between adjacent tiers
  • The CRM is priced above the general Work Management product at the same tier, at 12 EUR against 9 EUR per seat on Basic
  • Published rates require annual billing, with monthly costing more
  • The Ultimate tier is custom priced
