Gridfox vs Quickbase (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Gridfox if

• Fits if you'd rather build your own tables than adopt a fixed project tool
• Works for teams that want a vendor with phone, email and chat support

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want to see a price before talking to anyone
• Not for you if you want a free plan or a self-serve trial, as neither is advertised
• Tight if you need to export to XLSX, which starts on the Team plan
• Watch out: custom domains need Professional, and plans are tailored per customer

Pick Quickbase if

• Fits if an operations or compliance team needs custom apps with audit logs
• Makes sense if you will want Gantt charts and SSO later

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if you are small, as the platform minimum on top of $35 per user is not shown
• Skip it if you want a quick price, since plans are sold through a contact form
• Tight if you need SSO, SCIM, Gantt charts, a sandbox or HIPAA support, which need Business at $55
• Watch out: extensions and the AI Intelligence Pack are add-ons

Gridfox

• No prices are published; the pricing page asks visitors to request a demo, and plans are tailored to the customer.
• The FAQ mentions Team and Professional plans: XLSX export starts at Team and custom domains need Professional.
• Runs in the browser; the FAQ says it works on laptops, tablets and mobile devices, and lists no separate apps.

Quickbase

• Listed per-user prices do not include a platform minimum fee; its amount is not shown on the page.
• Plans are sold through the contact form; the free 30-day trial includes Business plan features.
• SSO, SCIM, Gantt charts, sandbox and HIPAA support need the Business plan or higher.
• Extensions and the AI Intelligence Pack are add-ons.
