Best for Excel-style shared tables with row-level permissions
RowShare is a shared-table tool for teams leaving Excel, with row and column permissions and a Microsoft Teams app. Every plan includes 5 users, so the least you pay is $80 a month, and the Team plan stops at 5,000 rows a table and leaves out the advanced permissions and change log.
Who RowShare is for
- 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
Who RowShare is not for
- 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
Why RowShare gets a 2.0
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.

- CFeaturesRow and column permissions, a change log and automation. On Team the advanced permissions and change log are marked as not included, and tables are capped.
- CEase of useA web app where you build your own tables; no store rating on record.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb with a Microsoft Teams app and links to Zapier, Power Automate, Power BI, Tableau and others. No desktop or phone apps are listed.

Keep RowShare, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace RowShare you would be making connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. 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: 47 of the 63 other spreadsheet and database tools grade higher. It costs $960 a year.
What you could make
- Templates and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- Databases with views, filters and links between them.
- What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: roles and permissions.
What this rests on. RowShare’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.
What is RowShare?
RowShare is a French-built online tool for collecting and sharing tabular data. Owners decide who can see or edit each row and column, set required fields and quality checks, and send automatic email reminders when a deadline passes. It offers a 14-day free trial, a Microsoft Teams app and one-hour onboarding on every plan.
Worth knowing
- Every plan includes 5 users; the rendered pricing page was unclear on whether the monthly figures shown are monthly-billed or yearly-billed (a yearly saving of 20% is advertised).
- Team plan caps are 10 tables, 5,000 rows per table and 1 GB of attachments.
- Advanced row and column permissions and the change log are marked as not included on Team.
- Runs in the browser; mobile access is mentioned, but the site lists no separate apps.
Key features
- Row and column permissions
- Access can be set table by table, with basic read and write rights per row on every plan and advanced create, delete and assign rights on higher plans.
- Data collection controls
- Formats, mandatory fields and automated quality checks can be set, and reminder emails go out automatically when a deadline is hit.
- Change log and history
- A change log lists recent changes with author and timestamp. Deleted rows are kept for 7, 30 or 365 days depending on the plan.
- Automation and integrations
- RowShare Automation moves data across tables as an option, and Zapier, Power Automate, Workato and BI tools are listed as integrations.
- Microsoft Teams app
- A Teams application is listed in the automation and integration section, and the site also mentions mobile access.
