Time in Status alternatives for monday.com

Time in Status by SaaSJet is the most installed time-in-status app for monday.com. If you need something it does not focus on, such as alerts for items nobody touched, SLA escalations, Kanban flow charts or automations that fire after a set time in a status, there are real alternatives. Here are six, ours among them, compared from their own marketplace listings.

Why teams look beyond Time in Status

Time in Status reports how long work spends in each stage, with charts by person, team or board. Teams usually look further when the question changes: not how long work took, but which items are stuck right now, which will miss a promise, and who should be told.

What to compare

• Where the numbers live: board columns you can sort, filter and automate on, or reports in the app's own view.
• Working time: whether time counts only in your working hours, without your holidays.
• When a target slips: a color on the board, a notification, or an escalation that climbs.
• Price as you grow: most of these apps charge by the number of users in the monday.com account.

At a glance

Each alternative

Stale & SLA

Writes Days in current status, Days since last activity and a total per status into numbers columns on every item. A target per status marks items at risk once 80% of it is used and breached after it, with an automation trigger for each and an escalation ladder that notifies a people column. A stale threshold catches items nobody has touched, and each board can count only its own work days, working hours and holidays.

SLA by evolu

Response and resolution clocks that board automations start, pause, resume and stop, with goals chosen by conditions such as priority. Several calendars with shifts and days off, reports of SLAs met and overdue, and time in status as dotted and stacked charts. It carries monday.com's security badge.

Flow Metrics

Turns a board's status history into Kanban reports: a cumulative flow diagram, an aging work-in-progress chart, a cycle-time histogram with confidence levels, simulations of when items will be done, and a process behavior chart, exportable as a PDF. It carries monday.com's security badge.

TICK

Adds an automation trigger based on time in status: while an item stays in a status, configurable time stages fire actions within minutes, for up to two weeks. It suits escalations and moving stuck items along.

WorkWindow SLA

Counts SLA time only in business hours, with time-zone-aware windows, holiday calendars and several windows a day. It writes elapsed business time to number columns, runs several trackers per board, shows which windows counted for each item, and has a trigger when an SLA breaches a threshold.

Cycle Time Tracker

Reports of time in each status, cycle and lead time, bottlenecks and trends over time, without manual tracking.

Which one to pick

• Items stuck and nobody told: Stale & SLA.
• A service desk with response and resolution SLAs: SLA by evolu or WorkWindow SLA.
• Kanban teams planning delivery dates: Flow Metrics.
• An action after N hours in a status: TICK.
• Reports of time per stage, by person or team: Time in Status itself.
