The Verdict
Monday.com is built for teams and enterprise, with a focus on boards and automations. ZenHub targets development teams and github users and leads with kanban-boards and epics.
Both tools come in at similar price points ($9/mo for Monday.com, $8.33/mo for ZenHub), so pricing won't make the decision for you.
Monday.com has a free plan, which gives it a meaningful edge for individuals and small teams exploring their options. ZenHub requires a paid subscription from day one.
Bottom line: Monday.com has a slight overall edge — but if lives inside github matters most to you, ZenHub may still be the right call.
