Which one is for you
Pick Ragic if
- Fits if your team already thinks in spreadsheets and wants linked records and approvals
- Works for people who want mobile data entry and offline use
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you stay free, as Free allows 3 custom sheets of 1,000 records
- Tight if you need many sheets, because Lite caps custom sheets at 5
- Pricey if you need the bigger plans, since concurrent-user plans are sold in blocks of 10 from $499 a month
- Watch out: annual billing gets one free month rather than a stated rate
- Watch out: AI usage is metered in multiples of an amount defined on a separate page
Pick RowShare if
- Fits if your team lives in Microsoft Teams and needs rows visible to some people only
- Works for groups of 5 to 49 sharing one table, with read-only viewers free
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you're one person, since the plans start at 5 users and $80
- Tight if you need more than 10 tables, 5,000 rows a table or 1 GB of files, which means Pro at $120
- Not for you if you need the advanced permissions or change log on the cheapest plan
- Watch out: the pricing page was unclear on whether the monthly figures are monthly or yearly billing

More comparisons
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.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
