Part 01 · Overview

Welcome

What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first

3.0

GPA, above 64 of the 79 other project management tools we grade

Smartsheet is a work management platform built around sheets that look and behave like spreadsheets. The same data can be shown in grid, Gantt, card and calendar views and rolled up into reports and dashboards, with forms and automated workflows for intake and reminders. There is no free plan; new accounts start with a 30-day trial.

To get you started, here are 10 things to know about Smartsheet, taken from its own pages and our grades.

The sheets behave like spreadsheets, so anyone who already lives in one has little new to learn.
From our grade for ease of use
  1. 1

    Best for project plans for spreadsheet people

    Smartsheet is a spreadsheet-style sheet that can also be a Gantt chart, a card board or a calendar, with reports and dashboards on top.

  2. 2

    Paid plans start at $9 a month for each person

    As its pricing page puts it: $9 per Member / month, billed yearly ($12 billed monthly).

  3. 3

    You can try it first

    30-day free trial, no credit card required

  4. 4

    It runs on 5 platforms

    Web, macOS, Windows, iOS and Android.

  5. 5

    Sheets with multiple views

    Work is stored in spreadsheet-like sheets that can be switched between grid, Gantt, card and calendar views. Timeline view starts on the Business plan.

  6. 6

    Reports and dashboards

    Reports pull together and filter rows from sheets, and dashboards summarize the results for stakeholders.

  7. 7

    Forms

    Forms gather structured input such as requests, field reports and feedback. Forms are unlimited on the Pro plan and above.

  8. 8

    Refunds: no set window

    There are no refunds here at all, not even pro-rated, and Smartsheet's own billing FAQ says so. Worse, you have to give 30 days' notice before your renewal date to make any change, which is the kind of clause written for companies with purchasing departments and a nasty surprise for a two-person Pro plan.

  9. 9

    A 3.0 GPA, above 64 of 79

    That is against the other project management tools we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.

  10. 10

    Keep it

    To replace Smartsheet 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.

The report card

Best for project plans for spreadsheet people

Smartsheet is a spreadsheet-style sheet that can also be a Gantt chart, a card board or a calendar, with reports and dashboards on top. There's no free plan, only a 30-day trial, then $9 a Member a month billed yearly. Pro stops at 10 Members, 250 automations and 20 GB, while timeline, workload and the API need Business at $19 with at least 3 Members.

ToolGPA report cardSmartsheetGraded Oct 10, 2026
SubjectGradeComment
Value for moneyCPro is $9 a Member a month billed yearly, between the $8 middle and the $10 dear end for project tools here, so an ordinary price. Contributors are free and unlimited, which helps. But Pro stops at 10 Members, and timeline view, workload tracking and the API all wait for Business at $19.
Free plan and trialCNo free plan. You get 30 days with no credit card asked for, and then a paid plan is the only way to carry on.
FeaturesBIt covers the whole job: one sheet shown as a grid, a Gantt chart, cards or a calendar, rolling up into reports and dashboards, with forms for intake, automated workflows and Smart Assist for formulas. Airtable, monday and Wrike, its own named rivals, cover the same ground.
Ease of useA4.85 from about 120,000 App Store ratings, which is the top band. The sheets behave like spreadsheets, so anyone who already lives in one has little new to learn.
Platforms and integrationsAThe full set: web, Mac, Windows, iPhone and Android, with Microsoft Teams, Slack, Salesforce, Jira, Power BI and Tableau, and an API. The API is Business and up, mind.
Grade point averageVery good, out of 4.03.0

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 Smartsheet is for

  • Fits if your team works in spreadsheets and wants project views on top of them
  • Works for companies that need Gantt charts, reports and dashboards across many projects

Who it is not for

  • Not for you if you want to stay free, as there's only a 30-day trial
  • Tight if you automate a lot on Pro, which stops at 250 automations a month, 20 GB and 10 Members, and is sold to new customers only
  • Pricey if you need timeline view, workload tracking or the API, since those start at Business, $19 a Member with 3 minimum
  • Pricey if you need single sign-on or portfolios, which are Enterprise only, from 10 Members and priced by quote

Good to know

Good for

  • Teams that are comfortable working in spreadsheets
  • Project offices that need Gantt charts, reports and dashboards
  • Enterprises standardizing portfolio reporting across many projects

Worth knowing

  • There is no free plan; a paid plan is needed once the 30-day trial ends.
  • Pro is limited to 10 Members and is only available to new customers; Business requires at least 3 Members.
  • Pro is capped at 250 automations a month and 20 GB of storage.
  • The API is offered from the Business plan, and SAML single sign-on needs Enterprise.

Part 04 · Standing

Where it stands

Its grades against its category, and whether to keep it or make your own

64/79

Other project management tools it is graded above

Smartsheet's GPA of 3.0 is higher than 64 of the 79 other project management tools we grade, and level with 8.

It stands best on ease of use (A, above 75 of 79) and worst on free plan and trial (C, above 4).

Its paid plans start at $9 a month for each person, against a middle price of $8 for the category: 41 of the 74 others that charge start lower.

On features, ease of use and platforms it scores 3.7 out of 4. Nothing scores higher for less, though at least one tool matches that score at a lower price.

Each grade against the category

Every bar is all 80 project management tools we grade, cut by the letter each got. Smartsheet’s own letter is outlined.

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 Smartsheet 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.

It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 3.0 is higher than 64 of the 79 other project management tools we grade. It costs $108 a year.

What you could make

  • Tasks, Gantt & timelines, kanban boards and calendar: an app builder makes these well.

What you could not

  • Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
  • Apps for macOS, Windows, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other.
  • It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
  • AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
  • The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.

What this rests on. Smartsheet’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.

Part 05 · Refunds

After you pay

Getting your money back, getting out, and getting help

DRefunds
ASupport

What happens once you have paid: whether you can get your money back, how to leave, and how to reach a person when something goes wrong. Each is graded from Smartsheet’s own terms and help pages.

Refunds and cancelling

DGrade

Weak · checked Oct 18, 2026

There are no refunds here at all, not even pro-rated, and Smartsheet's own billing FAQ says so. Worse, you have to give 30 days' notice before your renewal date to make any change, which is the kind of clause written for companies with purchasing departments and a nasty surprise for a two-person Pro plan. Pro and Business can at least press the button themselves. No refunds plus a notice period is a D.

Refund window
No set window
How you cancel
Yourself, in settings
Getting your money back

The User Agreement says all orders are non-cancelable and service fees are non-refundable except where it explicitly says otherwise, and the exceptions are limited to Smartsheet failing to cure a breach or a warranty failure. The billing FAQ puts it plainly: no refunds are provided for unused portions of a subscription, and a cancelled or downgraded account does not qualify for a pro-rated or full refund.

Stated on help.smartsheet.com
How to cancel Smartsheet

A Pro or Business plan paid by card or bank transfer is cancelled in the app under Account, then Plan & Billing Info, then Cancel Account; only the account owner on Pro or a System Admin on Business can do it. Smartsheet asks for the request at least 30 days before the renewal date. An Enterprise plan cannot be cancelled in the app, and an invoice-billed plan goes through a request form.

  1. Sign in to your Smartsheet account in a browser
  2. On the left navigation bar, select Account, then Plan & Billing Info
  3. In the Plan & Billing tab, select Cancel Account
  4. Select Continue to cancellation
  5. Read the confirmation page, which gives the effective date and warns of data loss
  6. Select Cancel and accept data loss to confirm
Stated on help.smartsheet.com
What you keep afterwards

Smartsheet says cancelling makes the items you own read-only immediately and permanently deletes them 30 days after cancellation, with no recovery. Items other people shared with you stay reachable. The article tells you to transfer ownership of sheets or export the data to Excel or Google Sheets before cancelling. A trial or free account can instead be switched to Free and kept open.

Stated on help.smartsheet.com
Renewals

The User Agreement says that unless an order says otherwise, or one side gives written notice of non-renewal at least 30 days before the end of the term, every subscription service renews automatically for successive one-year terms. Smartsheet may raise the price for a renewal term by written notice before it starts, with at least 45 days' notice in the common case, and promotional pricing does not carry over.

Stated on smartsheet.com

In your favour

  • A Pro or Business plan is cancelled from inside the app, with no email or phone call needed.
  • A price rise at renewal needs written notice first, and 45 days of it in the common case.
  • You can choose to cancel immediately or let the plan run to the end of the billing cycle.
  • A trial or free account can be switched to Free instead of closed, so you keep signing in.

Watch out for

  • No refunds at all, full or pro-rated, on a cancelled or downgraded account.
  • You have to give at least 30 days' notice before the renewal date, or you are into another year.
  • Cancelling makes your sheets read-only at once and deletes them permanently 30 days later.
  • Enterprise and invoice-billed plans can't be cancelled in the app: it's a form or a sales rep.

Customer support

AGrade

Excellent · checked Oct 18, 2026

Smartsheet's support page sets out a table, and the base level that comes with every plan type is better than most paid tiers elsewhere: a live agent on in-app chat around the clock, web ticketing, the help centre, the community and self-paced courses. Phone is kept for Enterprise and the paid Premium package, and the under-two-hour first-response promise is Premium only. Live human help at any hour on every plan is an A.

Ways to get help

  • Live chat

    In-app chat. The support table lists AI-powered in-app chat and, separately, 24x7 support with a live agent via in-app chat, both ticked for Base Support, which the page says covers all plan types, as well as for the Standard and Premium packages.

    Stated on smartsheet.com

  • Phone

    24x7 global support by phone, ticked only for the Standard Support Package, which the page says is included in the Enterprise plan, and for the Premium Support Package. Base Support has no phone line.

    Stated on smartsheet.com

  • Contact form or ticket

    Web-based ticketing: a support case opened from the Contact Support page. The support table ticks it for Base Support and both paid packages, so every plan type has it. A separate contact route exists for billing questions.

    Stated on smartsheet.com

  • Help centre

    The Help & Learning Center, with articles on billing, account management, admin controls, formulas and the apps, plus a functions list. It is public and ticked for every support package.

    Stated on help.smartsheet.com

  • Community or forum

    The Smartsheet Community, a public forum for asking other users and posting feature requests. The support table ticks it for every package including the base level.

    Stated on smartsheet.com
When people answer

The support page states 24x7 support, and ticks 24x7 live-agent in-app chat for all three packages including the base level that applies to every plan type. The phone line is also described as 24x7 and global, but only for the Standard and Premium packages.

Stated on smartsheet.com
How fast it says it replies

The only stated target is a first-response service level of less than two hours, whatever route the case came in by, and the table places it in the Premium Support Package column alone. No response time is stated for Base Support or the Standard package.

Stated on smartsheet.com
What depends on your plan

Base Support, which the page marks for all plan types, covers the community, the help centre, web ticketing, AI in-app chat, self-paced Smartsheet University courses and 24x7 live-agent chat. The Standard package, included with Enterprise, adds 24x7 global phone support. Premium, an add-on to Business and Enterprise, adds Pro Desk coaching and the two-hour first-response target.

Stated on smartsheet.com

In your favour

  • A live agent on in-app chat, around the clock, on every plan type and not just the big ones.
  • Smartsheet publishes a table of what each support package covers, so you can check before buying.
  • Web ticketing, the help centre, the community and self-paced courses come with the base level.
  • The help centre has step-by-step articles on cancelling, billing and exporting your sheets.

Watch out for

  • No phone line below Enterprise unless you buy the Premium Support package.
  • The two-hour first-response target applies to Premium only; nothing is promised to everyone else.
  • The in-app chat is described as AI-powered as well as live-agent, so expect a bot first.
  • Billing questions go to a separate contact route rather than the main support queue.

What these two grades rest on. Read on 18 October 2026: Smartsheet's User Agreement, its help-centre billing FAQ, the article on cancelling an account, the article on reviewing plan and billing information, the accepted payment types article, the Smartsheet Support services page with its package comparison, and the contact page. Nobody here cancelled a plan or contacted its support. They are graded apart from the five that make the GPA. How we grade refunds and support.

ToolGPA grades software the way a school report grades a pupil: five subjects, a letter for each with the reason written beside it, and a GPA that averages them. Prices, plans and platforms are read from each maker’s own pages and dated, so you always know how fresh a figure is.

Every grade, review and ranking on ToolGPA is our own judgement. No company can pay for a grade or change one. Every tool on the site has a guide like this one, free to download and pass on. It all lives at toolgpa.com.
