Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
1.6
GPA, above 0 of the 63 other spreadsheet and database tools we grade
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.
To get you started, here are 7 things to know about Gridfox, taken from its own pages and our grades.
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.
- 1
Best for custom-table work management for UK teams
Gridfox builds work-management systems from your own tables, with several views, project planning and permissions.
- 2
It runs on Web
Web.
- 3
Tables, fields and records
Gridfox describes tables as similar to spreadsheet worksheets, with fields as columns and records as rows, forming a custom project.
- 4
Multiple views
Filtered views include grid, board, calendar, Gantt, docs and dashboards, and the site announces a newer Pivot view for analysis.
- 5
Project planning tools
Timelines, milestones and team capacity planning are described for project management use.
- 6
A 1.6 GPA, above 0 of 63
That is against the other spreadsheet and database tools we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 7
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.

The report card
Best for custom-table work management for UK teams
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Gridfox is for
- 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
Who it is not for
- 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
Good to know
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.
Part 02 · Pricing
What it costs
Every plan, the free plan, ways to pay less and how prices have moved
Gridfox's current pricing could not be confirmed from its own site.
No price is published; the pricing page asks you to request a demo, so it sits in the middle until a quote says otherwise.
We could not confirm Gridfox’s current prices from its own site, so this guide lists no plans. gridfox.com has them.

Where it stands
Its grades against its category, and whether to keep it or make your own
0/63
Other spreadsheet and database tools it is graded above
Gridfox's GPA of 1.6 is higher than 0 of the 63 other spreadsheet and database tools we grade, and level with 4.
It stands best on value for money (C, above 12 of 63) and worst on free plan and trial (F, above 0).
Each grade against the category
Every bar is all 64 spreadsheet and database tools we grade, cut by the letter each got. Gridfox’s own letter is outlined.

- CPlatforms and integrationsAbove 3 of 63
Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
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.
What you could make
- Gantt & timelines, kanban boards and templates: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- A builder that other people can use without writing code.
- Databases with views, filters and links between them.
- Connections that pull numbers from dozens of other services.
- What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: roles and permissions.
What this rests on. Gridfox’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
