## Key features

- **Templates, scratch builds or spreadsheet import:** A database can start from a pre-built template, be designed from scratch, or be created by importing a spreadsheet.
- **Forms for data entry:** Records are added, edited and viewed through forms, and form layout can change depending on the values of certain fields.
- **Graphical reports:** Advanced reports can be saved from the relational data, filtered and shown in graphical form.
- **Access rights:** Role-based restrictions control what each user can see and change, so one database can serve concurrent users with different access.
- **Workflow automation:** TeamDesk says it automates daily data management tasks, and the same database can be shared with users under set access rights.
- **Flat, user-pack pricing:** Tables, records and storage are unlimited on every edition; only the user count and Enterprise-only features differ.

## Good for

- Small businesses replacing an Excel or Access file with a shared database
- Teams of 5 to 10 that prefer a flat monthly fee over per-seat pricing
- Companies that want unlimited records and storage without tiers

## Worth knowing

- No permanent free plan; each database gets a 14-day trial, then needs a paid edition.
- Starter is capped at 5 users and cannot take extra user packs.
- Unlimited databases, rebranding and enhanced security are Enterprise-only, at $249 a month.
- The site describes the product as running through a web browser; it lists no native apps.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 1.8 out of 4**, graded Nov 13, 2026. TeamDesk is a browser database builder that starts from a template or an imported spreadsheet, with forms, reports and access rights. Tables, records and storage are unlimited on every edition. But the cheapest edition is $49 a month and stops at 5 users, there is no free plan, and it runs in a browser only.

- **Value for money: D.** $49 a month is the floor, for up to 5 users. Split five ways that is $9.80 a head, but one person still pays $49, against $29 at the dearer quarter of spreadsheet tools.
- **Free plan and trial: C.** A 14-day trial for each database. The listing doesn't say whether a card is needed, and there is no free plan after it.
- **Features: C.** Forms, reports, role-based access and workflow automation, with unlimited tables and records. It is a database builder, so the work is designing your own tables.
- **Ease of use: C.** A web app where you build the database yourself, and no store rating is on record. Importing a spreadsheet gets you started, but the forms and reports are still yours to set up.
- **Platforms and integrations: C.** Web only, and the listing names no native apps and no integrations.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace TeamDesk 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: 56 of the 63 other spreadsheet and database tools grade higher. It costs $588 a year.

- You could make: Forms, reports and templates: an app builder makes these well.
- You could not: A builder that other people can use without writing code.
- You could not: Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- You could not: Databases with views, filters and links between them.
- You could not: What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: roles and permissions.
- You could not: Sharing with other people, which means accounts and invitations.
