Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.0
GPA, above 8 of the 63 other spreadsheet and database tools we grade
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.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about RowShare, taken from its own pages and our grades.

The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | D | $80 a month for 5 users is the floor, which is $16 a head for a team of five but $80 for one person, above the $65 where the dearest tenth starts. |
| Free plan and trial | C | A 14-day trial with no card, and no free plan after it. |
| Features | C | Row 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. |
| Ease of use | C | A web app where you build your own tables; no store rating on record. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web with a Microsoft Teams app and links to Zapier, Power Automate, Power BI, Tableau and others. No desktop or phone apps are listed. |
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 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 it 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
Good to know
Good for
- Process owners who collect data from many people and must limit who sees what
- Teams in Microsoft Teams that want a shared table instead of a workbook
- Companies wanting hands-on onboarding and migration from Excel
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.

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 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.
