SmartSuite pricing, price hikes and cheaper alternatives

SmartSuite (smartsuite.com) is a online database. Per-seat subscription billed per editor (Team needs 3 seats, Professional 5), cheaper on annual billing; Enterprise and Signature are custom quotes.. No free plan.

What SmartSuite costs

  • 10 users: $360/mo (Professional: $36/seat/mo monthly x 10 editors = $360. Team caps a table at 5,000 records (20,000 needed), and no record or storage add-on is priced, so Team is out.)
  • 1 user: $180/mo (Professional: minimum 5 seats x $36/mo = $180. Team caps a table at 5,000 records (10,000 needed), so it does not qualify even at its 3-seat minimum.)
  • 10 users, 100k records: no public price (Professional caps a table at 50,000 records (100,000 needed). Only Enterprise (125,000 per table) qualifies, and it is contact-sales only, so null.)

Plan compared: Professional plan, 10 editors, 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.

Pricing page: smartsuite.com/pricing. Prices last checked Oct 16, 2026. Prices, seat minimums and record/storage limits come from smartsuite.com/pricing, checked in three fetches (the comparison grid was read from flattened text); no record or storage add-on is priced and there is no free plan. No dated list-price change is sourced: PricingSaaS shows only a packaging edit and a feature update in 2026, and CostBench's June 2026 'highest tier $50 to $36' note is self-described as unconfirmed, so it is not recorded.
