Monday Dev Review: Pros & Cons, Features, Ratings, Pricing and more

Image
You’ll pay for it though, because it’s a touch more expensive than most of its rivals (though not excessively), but you get access to some other Monday software and tons of integrations and automations. Beware of restrictions on lower plans, though. Monday Dev: Plans and pricing Pricing for Monday Dev works on a group basis where a company must pay for a predetermined number of seats, regardless of whether they fill them. Expect to pay $12, $14.50, or $25 per seat per month for Basic, Standard, and Pro respectively. Companies with more than three workers (the minimum for any plan) can pick from plans covering 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, and 40 seats. More seats are available, but you’ll need to get in touch for pricing. There’s also an Enterprise plan with a lot more customization available. Paying annually, rather than monthly, will unlock an 18% discount on paid plans. (Image credit: Monday) Monday Dev: Features While there’s no free plan available (besides trials), even th

Cocoon by Sealy Chill mattress review: exceptional cooling at an affordable price

Cocoon by Sealy Chill mattress review: two-minute review The Cocoon by Sealy Chill mattress sits on the lower end of the mid-range bracket, consistently priced at $799 for a queen during regular sales with free bedding and sheets included. It graces our best mattress guide as a suitable option for hot sleepers who don't want to spend a lot for a specialty cooling mattress , but how does it fare in other areas, like pressure relief and edge support?  I slept on a twin Cocoon Chill mattress for three weeks and asked five additional participants to share their experiences, as well. Here's what you need to know... (Image credit: Future / Alison Barretta) My fellow testers and I unanimously agree that the Cocoon by Sealy Chill is a firm mattress, collectively rating it an 8 out of 10 on the firmness scale. We found it most comfortable for back sleeping, as we felt well-aligned and supported in that position. (As the only stomach sleeper of the bunch, I didn't feel m

Roborock S8 Pro Ultra review: for sparkling floors

Image
Two-minute review The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra offers a wealth of features, from vacuuming and mopping to auto-emptying, self-cleaning, and 3D obstacle avoidance. All that functionality comes at a high price, which brings expectations of  near perfection. So does it succeed in that regard? No – but it remains a solid option that will leave your floors cleaner than ever.  Roborock deals exclusively in vacuums, with its main focus on those of the robot variety, so you know it’s throwing most of its efforts into furthering this technology. The top-of-the-line S8 Pro Ultra is the part of the brand’s S8 lineup of vacuums, and the most recent release. A less expensive model from Roborock, such as the Q5+, lacks the mopping and self-cleaning ability but still comes with an auto-emptying base for less than a third of the price.  When it came time to get cleaning, setting up the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra and sending it out was simple and painless, thanks to the easy-to-use companion app. The app c

Jura Z10 review: a bean-to-cup coffee machine that makes cold brews, too

Image
The Jura Z10 is a versatile bean-to-cup coffee machine from Swiss manufacturer, Jura. It comes with the precision and power to grind beans, extract coffee, and froth milk, resulting in the perfect cup of coffee every time – once you’ve got the knack for its settings, that is.  If you’re wanting barista-grade coffee at home without having to invest in professional kit, then the best bean-to-cup coffee machines will be more than sufficient for your needs. Models such as the Jura Z10 are more complex when it comes to maintenance, and may offer too much customization; but the Z10 does come with some seriously smart features alongside excellent performance that make it all worth it. On the surface, making a drink is as simple as prodding the 4.3-inch touchscreen to select one of the 32 available specialty coffees (or using the roller dial to navigate the sometimes frustrating screen interface), adjusting the settings if needed, and waiting for your coffee to brew.
