Stackby Reviews & Product Details

The web UI is honestly decent. The column types, views, and forms are well designed. If you just need a browser-based spreadsheet with some database features and you never touch the API, its a usable tool. The concept is solid and the interface is clean enought. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Where do i even start. The API has been completley dead since Feb 23 2026 - every endpoint returns HTTP 500. Not some endpoints, ALL of them, for 3 weeks straight. The root cause is a null pointer in their Express.js error handler that passes the error message as the HTTP status code. They leak the full stack trace in the response. This is the kind of bug you catch in a code review on day one.

The PATCH endpoint (rowupdate) has never worked in my entire time using the product. The only workaround is delete + recreate. In production.

I paid $399 for their Powerups addon thru Stripe. Their own billing page shows "No records found". The CTO confirmed the payment in writing but the platform doesnt aknowledge it.

Automation runs were advertised as 500/month for my tier, workspace shows 100. No invoice issued in 2+ months despite being an EU business customer with VAT details provided on day one.

Zero communication about the outage. No status page, no email, no nothing. I had to diagnose the bug myself by reading their leaked server logs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the idea of a no-code database platform that allows users to build and customize their own workflows without needing technical knowledge. The concept is strong and has a lot of potential for streamlining operations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Since the beginning, I experienced many glitches and stability issues. Formulas often did not work correctly, data disappeared unexpectedly, and core features like filtering and sorting stopped working multiple times. These issues made the platform unreliable for daily operations Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have the personal and professional plan. I have taken my business to the next level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The product is great and is on the right track. The only problem I see is that they need to tighten up some minor programming errors. It is a real alternative to AIRTABLE Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The software is like best its flexibility to blend spreadsheets with databases and APIs all in one platform That makes it super useful for people who want the familiarity of Excel or Google Sheets but need more powerful functionality, like relational data and automated workflows Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Limited Automation Compared to Big Players Tools like Airtable or Notion have more integrations with Zapier, Make, or native automations the software has some automation, but it’s still catching up in that department Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As someone who has used AirTable and SmartSuite, I found Stackby to have just about everything those two services had and more--for a better price. Getting started was as easy as connecting AirTable and bringing all my tables over. Then I just had to clean a few things up and I was ready to go. When I had a support issue, I heard back with a solution within about 12 hours. Not bad! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Stackby doesn't have quite as modern of an interface as SmartSuite, but it makes up for that with an abundance of features at a lower price--especially for guests (they're free!). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The software is pretty cool for a few reasons, especially if you’re into blending spreadsheets with databases and automation also the Real time collaboration and permission control make it great for teams Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Limited Advanced Features Compared to Airtable or Notion While it’s powerful, it’s not as polished or feature rich as something like Airtable when it comes to advanced workflows or UI and UX Some power users might find it a bit limiting Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Spreadsheet database hybrid The software blends the simplicity of a spreadsheet with the power of a relational database You can start with something as easy as Excel or Google Sheets and gradually build more complex systems Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While sometimes the mobile app is functional but lacks the smoothness and full capability of the desktop version Users often complain that it’s clunky or not ideal for managing large or complex stacks on the go Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Custom Templates and Column Types It saves time and feels highly customizable some users like how they can quickly build CRMs, content calendars, project trackers, without starting from scratch Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Limited third party Integration Compared to Competitors while the API connectors are a big selling point, some users wish the software had deeper or more plug and play integrations with tools like Slack, Zapier, or more project management platforms Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Project management users appreciate the platform’s project management capabilities, including task assignments, reminders, and collaborative tools Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
