Smartsheet pricing, price hikes and cheaper alternatives

Smartsheet (smartsheet.com) is a online database. Per-member monthly subscription on Pro and Business (monthly or annual billing), with custom-quoted Enterprise and Advanced Work Management plans and flat-fee add-ons.. No free plan.

What Smartsheet costs

  • 10 users: $120/mo (Pro: 10 Member seats x $12/mo = $120. Contributor seats cannot add or edit records (editing is not among their listed abilities), so no cheaper seat type qualifies. No fetched page gives row caps; if Pro holds fewer than 20,000 rows per table or 50,000 per workspace, Business applies at 10 x $24 = $240.)
  • 1 user: $12/mo (Pro: 1 Member seat x $12/mo = $12 (Pro allows 1-10 members). Assumes Pro holds 10,000 rows per table (row caps unpublished); if not, Business's 3-member minimum gives 3 x $24 = $72. No free plan.)
  • 10 users, 100k records: no public price (Pro fails: 20 GB storage is below the 25 GB needed, and no storage add-on is listed. Business (1 TB) would be 10 x $24 = $240 only if it holds 100,000 rows per table and 250,000 per workspace; no fetched page gives those caps, so the point is null rather than a guess. Enterprise and Advanced Work Management are sales-quoted only.)

Plan compared: Pro plan: 10 Member seats at $12/member/mo (monthly billing).. Total USD per month on monthly billing (annual-only plans divided by 12) for the cheapest hosted plan that fits each scenario: 10 editors with a 20,000-record table, 1 user with a 10,000-record table, or 10 editors with a 100,000-record table. Free plans count as $0 only when their seat, record and storage limits cover the scenario; free self-hosted editions are not counted.

Every change we logged

  • Apr 2024 · Free tier cut: The free plan (1 user, up to 2 editors) was removed in the same 2024Q2 change, and no free plan is listed today. The month is a placeholder, as for the Pro change.
  • Apr 2024 · Price increase: Pro went from $7 to $9 per member a month on annual billing (+28.6%). The tracker tags it 2024Q2 and logs it 2026-01-13, so 2024-04 is a placeholder for the quarter.

Pricing page: smartsheet.com/pricing. Prices last checked Oct 16, 2026. The official pricing page gives the list prices; the monthly figures ($12 Pro, $24 Business) are inferred from merged page text and match the PricingSaaS annual prices ($9 and $19). No fetched source gives row or record caps, so the row-count tests are unverified, and the web search budget ran out before any news sources could be checked.
