Smartsheet

Spreadsheet-style work management for enterprises

Smartsheet is a databases & spreadsheets tool for Enterprise and Small businesses, offered as paid ($12/mo). Based in United States, founded in 2005. Popular alternatives include Google Sheets, Wrike, Microsoft Excel.

About Smartsheet

Smartsheet is a work management platform built around a spreadsheet-style grid, founded in 2005 near Seattle and taken private by Blackstone and Vista Equity Partners in a deal completed in early 2025. It is widely used by enterprises, PMOs and operations teams that like the familiarity of rows and columns but need project features such as dependencies, approvals and dashboards.

Each sheet can be viewed as a grid, Gantt chart, card board or calendar, with dependencies, critical path and baselines for project schedules. Automated workflows send alerts, request approvals and move rows; forms collect data from anyone; dashboards and reports roll up information across sheets. Premium capabilities include resource management, Control Center for templated portfolio rollout, Data Shuttle and connectors for Salesforce, Jira and Microsoft tools, plus enterprise governance and AI features for formulas and summaries. Plans are priced per member, with Pro, Business and Enterprise tiers and add-ons for advanced work management.

Smartsheet fits large organisations running many projects with consistent governance, as well as industries such as construction, healthcare and marketing operations that live in schedules. The interface feels dated next to newer tools, advanced capabilities quickly raise the cost, and the data model is less flexible than a true database. monday.com and Wrike are modern work management alternatives, Airtable is stronger for relational data and apps, and Microsoft Project remains common for traditional scheduling.
