Glorified Spreadsheet and more...
Yes, I call this a glorified spreadsheet! I use FREE Airtable and I don't have any other alternatives to it.
What do you use it for? Please take a look at their templates here: https://stackby.com/templates
So why 4 star?
Pros
- You can do more with a glorified spreadsheet. Signup for a FREE account or try Airtable
- Best for sharing spreadsheets with an external partner
- Almost everyone understands a spreadsheet!
- Integrations are existing
Cons
- A lot of other systems like PM, CRM, ATS, etc. do the same thing as using spreadsheets.
- You can do almost the same as Google Sheets or MS Excel Online
- Integrations are not as plenty (wish it has more like Appsumo launched tools)
- No mobile app (yet)
This is worth getting at least a code, depending on how big your tracking / monitoring / data will be. Personally, I would use this to collaborate with an external partner who I am doing work with. It has a lot more rows than the FREE tier of Airtable. Both Airtable and Stackby has some "limitations" or I have not yet discovered, how to restrict a certain column to be UNIQUE (i.e. no duplicates).
I also have not yet tried if you can use a Stackby Stack like a database table in a regular DBMS like MySQL, MSSQL, etc. I have yet to discover it :D
Hope this review helps you!

May 9, 2024Hi Mike,
Thanks for the review. We are much different than spreadsheets because this functions as Stackby functions as a relational database with 25+ column types and 4 layouts (Table, Kanban, Calendar, Forms) - lot of which you can't do on spreadsheets.
Please use our Link, Lookup and Aggregate column types, with those you can unlock more database features. Also it's API first, I understand you may not have use-cases around that today but it's our most unique value proposition that other tools out there.
Will be great if you can explore those use-cases and hopefully we can address your concerns.
Thanks,
Rachit
