Open as App 2026: Benefits, Features & Pricing

Software Advice offers objective insights based on verified user reviews and independent product and market research. When our advisors match you to a software provider, we may earn a referral fee.

How Software Advice ensures transparency

Software Advice lists all providers across its website—not just those that pay us—so that users can make informed purchase decisions. Users can talk to our advisors for free to receive software recommendations matching their needs. Software providers pay us for sponsored profiles to reach users interested in their products.

How Software Advice verifies reviews

Software Advice carefully verified over 2 million reviews to bring you authentic software experiences from real users. Our human moderators verify that reviewers are real people and that reviews are authentic. They use leading tech to analyze text quality and to detect plagiarism and generative AI.

Independent research methodology

Researchers at Software Advice use a mix of verified reviews, independent research, and objective methodologies to bring you selection and ranking information you can trust. While we may earn a referral fee when you visit a provider through our links or talk to an advisor, this has no influence on our research or methodology.

About Open as App

With Open as App, everyone in your company can turn business data into powerful custom apps.

In every company, there are numerous locations where data is stored, edited, or analyzed. Most of the time, this is done via spreadsheet applications like Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets or via database systems. Naturally, those are not really user-friendly for mobile devices. With Open as App, you can mobilize your data, accelerate your business and protect your know-how!

From your existing data, it just takes a few clicks to create powerful mobile apps that will simplify many of your internal processes.

With our unique technology, users can instantly transfer database and Excel content, charts, calculations, forms, or formulas into user-friendly apps with greatly enhanced functionality. Great examples for common use cases are, dashboards to view most relevant KPIs, calculators for sales offer calculations, lists to update inventory or lead lists from mobile devices, and more.

    My all time favourite app to visualize spreadsheet calculations!

    Our sales teams needed a tool to show how vendors what increase in earnings they can expect if they apply our solution. This app allows us to set up a custom input based on that vendors own numbers and backend calculations spits out the answer. Invaluable!
