How we grade them
| 2.6GPAPerdooGood | 3.0GPASmartsheetVery good | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CPremium is $9 a user a month on yearly billing, dead middle for the category, with a 5-licence minimum, so $45 a month for the smallest team. | CPro is $9 a Member a month billed yearly, between the $8 middle and the $10 dear end for project tools here, so an ordinary price. Contributors are free and unlimited, which helps. But Pro stops at 10 Members, and timeline view, workload tracking and the API all wait for Business at $19. |
| Free plan and trial | BFree for up to 5 users with OKRs, KPIs, projects and the mobile apps. AI is capped at 20k tokens a month. | CNo free plan. You get 30 days with no credit card asked for, and then a paid plan is the only way to carry on. |
| Features | BOKRs and KPIs, strategy maps, projects, meetings, check-ins and reviews. The listing shows no gap in the core work. | BIt covers the whole job: one sheet shown as a grid, a Gantt chart, cards or a calendar, rolling up into reports and dashboards, with forms for intake, automated workflows and Smart Assist for formulas. Airtable, monday and Wrike, its own named rivals, cover the same ground. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating on record. Objectives and strategy maps have to be built before it works. | A4.85 from about 120,000 App Store ratings, which is the top band. The sheets behave like spreadsheets, so anyone who already lives in one has little new to learn. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb, iPhone and Android, with Slack, Teams, Jira, Asana, Salesforce and HubSpot links. No desktop app is listed. | AThe full set: web, Mac, Windows, iPhone and Android, with Microsoft Teams, Slack, Salesforce, Jira, Power BI and Tableau, and an API. The API is Business and up, mind. |

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
