What is Stackby?
Stackby is a no-code spreadsheet-database platform ('Data. Work. Unified.') aimed at teams that need Airtable-style relational tables without engineering resources. It combines a spreadsheet-like grid editor, a database builder, a form builder and page designer, workflow automation, and AI-powered database fields in one product, with an apps marketplace of pre-built templates for CRM, project tracking, inventory management, and similar use cases. The product is aimed broadly at marketing, sales, HR, operations, finance, and product teams, plus vertical use cases in real estate, nonprofits, education, and legal and marketing agencies. Stackby's free plan supports up to 5 editors and 50 read-only guests across 20 stacks (1,500 rows per stack, 2GB attachment storage), and paid tiers add more stacks, rows, automation runs, and attachment storage, topping out at a custom Enterprise tier with SAML SSO and priority support. Annual billing on paid tiers is discounted by roughly 50-70% versus monthly pricing.
Stackby is a no-code platform that blends spreadsheets, relational databases, and workflow automation into a single tool, used by marketing, sales, HR, operations, and product teams as well as industries like real estate, education, and nonprofits to build CRMs, project trackers, and inventory systems without writing code. It offers a free plan for up to 5 editors and 50 read-only guests with 20 stacks, and paid plans starting at Economy ($9/user/month, or $4.20/user/month billed annually) through Business ($18/user/month) and Pro ($35/user/month), plus a custom-quoted Enterprise tier. Stackby's differentiator against Airtable-style competitors is its API connector blocks and AI-powered database fields built directly into the spreadsheet-database hybrid.
Standout feature: API connector blocks and AI-powered database fields built directly into the spreadsheet-database grid, letting teams pull in live data from other services without separate integration tools.
Biggest weakness: Reviewers report that automation, formulas, and filtering features can be unreliable in practice, with at least one user describing core automations as broken, and some report performance lag and data stability issues as stacks grow; business intelligence and reporting tools also remain limited compared to more mature competitors like Airtable.
Pros
- Free plan supports up to 5 editors and 50 read-only guests, more generous than many competitors' free tiers.
- Combines spreadsheet, database, automation, and AI fields in one tool without needing separate integration apps.
- Lower per-seat pricing than Airtable at comparable tiers, especially on annual billing.
- Templates and an apps marketplace speed up setup for common use cases like CRM and inventory tracking.
Cons
- Automation, formulas, and filtering have been reported as unreliable by some users, undermining core workflows.
- Performance lag and data stability issues reported as stack size and row counts grow.
- Business intelligence and advanced reporting tools are more limited than competitors like Airtable.
- No native desktop or mobile apps; web-only access.
