# Gridfox review (2026): is it worth it? > UK-built work management platform based on custom tables Checked Nov 13, 2026 ยท graded Nov 13, 2026 by ToolGPA. Gridfox is a work management platform in which each customer builds a project, a custom app made of tables, fields and records. Data can be shown as grid, board, calendar, Gantt, document or dashboard views, with a pivot view added recently. It is developed by the team at Audacia in Leeds, and pricing is quoted after a demo. - **Category:** Spreadsheets & Databases - **Made by:** Gridfox - **Website:** https://gridfox.com - **Runs on:** Web - **Who should skip it:** Skip it if you want to see a price before talking to anyone. - **Facts last checked:** Nov 13, 2026 ## Pricing Gridfox's current pricing could not be confirmed from its own site. ## Key features - **Tables, fields and records:** Gridfox describes tables as similar to spreadsheet worksheets, with fields as columns and records as rows, forming a custom project. - **Multiple views:** Filtered views include grid, board, calendar, Gantt, docs and dashboards, and the site announces a newer Pivot view for analysis. - **Project planning tools:** Timelines, milestones and team capacity planning are described for project management use. - **Templates:** Starter templates include a task manager, sales CRM, project manager, applicant tracker, campaign manager, stock control and asset manager. - **Permissions:** Admins set role-based permissions and custom access levels controlling what people can see, edit and delete. - **Phone, email and chat support:** The site says support by phone, email or chat is available whatever the plan, from a UK-based team. ## Good for - UK businesses that want a custom work tracker with local support - Teams starting from a ready-made task, CRM or project template - Organizations that want projects hosted in Microsoft Azure ## Worth knowing - 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. ## ToolGPA grades **GPA: 1.6 out of 4**, graded Nov 13, 2026. Gridfox builds work-management systems from your own tables, with several views, project planning and permissions. It publishes no prices at all, so you can't compare it before talking to sales, and the FAQ says XLSX export only starts on Team. - **Value for money: C.** No price is published; the pricing page asks you to request a demo, so it sits in the middle until a quote says otherwise. - **Free plan and trial: F.** No free plan and no trial on record, only a demo request. - **Features: C.** Tables, fields, views, planning tools, templates and permissions. The listing shows export and custom domain gated to higher plans. - **Ease of use: C.** A web app where you build the tables yourself, with no store rating on record. - **Platforms and integrations: C.** Browser only. The FAQ says it works on laptops, tablets and phones but lists no apps or integrations. These are ToolGPA's own grades.

The category's chart of price against score: https://toolgpa.com/charts/spreadsheets ## Keep it, or make your own? **Keep it.** To replace Gridfox you would be making a builder that other people can use without writing code. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 59 of the 63 other spreadsheet and database tools grade higher. - You could make: Gantt & timelines, kanban boards and templates: an app builder makes these well. - You could not: A builder that other people can use without writing code. - You could not: Databases with views, filters and links between them. - You could not: Connections that pull numbers from dozens of other services. - You could not: What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: roles and permissions.
