ADoor vs monday.com
monday.com is a work management platform where teams track projects, customers and operations on boards. ADoor is a data account for the records a company or a person keeps, where every person, app and assistant like ChatGPT has its own access.
Where ADoor stands out
Access per field for assistants
monday's MCP server connects with OAuth or a personal API token. In ADoor, an assistant gets its own access, down to one list or field, and never more than the person who connected it.
Approvals
When an agent in ADoor needs more access, it asks and you approve or deny. New devices sign in only after you approve them.
Pricing that doesn't count API calls
monday lists 1,000 API calls a day on lower plans, for agents and integrations. ADoor's pricing is based on storage only.

ADoor
ADoor is your data account. You keep lists and tables in a workspace you own, personal or team: a reading list, an incident log, a list of customers. Describe what you want to keep track of and it's set up for you, with real Postgres underneath. Every person, app, assistant, device and job gets its own access.
- Assistants
- ChatGPT, Claude, Grok and Cursor connect through MCP with a sign-in.
- Apps and scripts
- An HTTP API with keys, running the same actions assistants use
- Access
- Per space, list or field, or just the entries where a field equals a value you choose. Reading, adding, editing and deleting entries, and changing a list's fields, are separate permissions. An assistant never gets more than the person who connected it.
- Approvals

- CI jobs
- GitHub Actions signs in with short-lived access, 15 minutes by default and up to 30 days, with no stored secret.
