Was looking for a business/project/task management tool. Got much more than that!

During my first trial run of the software, I was a little apprehensive, seeing so many diverse functions and features. But the customer support is fabulous, led by the [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] himself. [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] makes it a point to reach out personally to his customers and help ease the process of using Stackby. So that's a crucial factor, besides the quality of the software, that helped me decide and choose Stackby for all my future use cases.

PROS

It has all the features of an excel sheet and database records,but with much more easier usage and practical implementation, and the API integration is a special feature that I really love. I can integrate detailed statistics and information from my Youtube channel into Stackby, as well as keep track of my competitors' video data. If the table view looks too complex, we can always change to a Kanban board or even a gallery style view - for my design assets (Thumbnail previews). One of my favorite features is that I have the option to choose from multiple options and assign functions to each column, and then duplicate, sway, export to another stack/base and so on. The possibilities are almost endless, and I see huge potential in this software! Another feature I love, and am going to use a lot in the future, is the forms - that can be used to collect data from target audience/clients and can also be shared as an independent URLs, with it's own landing page and redirect functions, besides embedding in websites and links. In fact, any part of Stackby can be integrated with my website by embedding, which is really cool. Besides Zapier, Stackby has integrations with a lot of software and apps, including automation with 'Integrately', that I personally own.

CONS

Stackby does have a steep learning curve, when it comes to a newbie like me. But once I able to grasp all the key functions, this will be an invaluable tool in my collection! Hardly much to complain!

Stackby is great

So I've been researching different project/task management software as business is just wild right now. The app I was previously using simply doesn't have the functionality to hold up, and I tried Stackby and Airtable. While Airtable is an institution, Stackby is just as good in nearly every way, offering plenty of functions and customization, easy to learn to use, and great to keep up with. There's a few things that I want it to do that it's not doing yet, but I'm not sure whether that's because the program doesn't have the capability or because I simply haven't found it yet.

PROS

ease of use, functionality, feel of dashboard

CONS

still some features that I want and it doesn't have (or I can't find)

Reason for choosing Stackby

I'm not entirely sure I have yet. I still am toying with Airtable as well. Airtable has a few functions I'm looking for that Stackby doesn't seem to, but I generally prefer a lot of other things from Stackby, so I'm still exploring the full functionality so that I don't miss anything.

Reasons for switching to Stackby

Monday was great, but it just didn't have the functionality I needed.

Flexible, multifunction business tool

As an Airtable user, I was glad to see an available alternative. Stackby has ticked the boxes and exceeded my expectations. They also continue to grow and improve the service, making it even more appealing and valuable. Support has also been responsive and consistent. I highly recommend Stackby if you are looking for a well-rounded, highly customizable solution for just about any data-driven task you need to perform.

PROS

Easy to use, fully featured, growing list of templates, great support

CONS

During early development, there were some missing features. But these have been added over the years. Can't think of anything missing at this time.

Reason for choosing Stackby

Feature parity, pricing and added functionality

Vendor Response

Thanks a lot for the review, Robert! Appreciate it. Hope you can become more successful with your workflows in Stackby.

CONS

I'd love to be able to bring our own APIs to the tables, but this isnt released yet. Its on the roadmap though.

How has this not existed before???

Stackby is easy to use, easy to set-up and customize. I hated (and i mean HATED) using excel. I found it a pain and for number crunchers. I use Stackby to track projects, tasks, meeting details, and other things. It's great for organizing everything. The cool parts are: 1. So easy to create 'stacks' 2. You can upload docs/images into the stacks or easily put urls Now if you're reading this, you may say 'oh I can do this in excel' - yes you can, and you can also climb a volcano, but who would want to? Both are painful experiences. Stackby also has cool pre-done templates for you. I'm so happy I found this software. Bravo guys and gals! Great work!!!!

PROS

1. Ease of use 2. Extremely intuitive and easy to figure out (hence point #1) 3. Comes with already designed formats/templates 4. Great online support/videos 5. I used it and said to myself 'WHY HAS NO ONE INVENTED THIS BEFORE' 6. Love that I can share a stack via url, or download it as a .csv

CONS

Nothing. Seriously. Nothing I had no issues using it, or any problems thus far. Again, it's quite user friendly.

Reasons for switching to Stackby

Excel gives me nightmares. Everything is so many steps. I write something, and want it to be justified, good god, let me google how to do this etc. This was just so easy and a breath of fresh air.

Well on it's way to being very robust!

I've been able to move to a much more robust tracking system that is far more data-rich and easier to update and maintain than using Excel. I'm a former Fieldbook user and after they shut down I was pleased to find Stackby (which seems to be even more robust than Fieldbook was).

PROS

Stackby is a cloud-based solution that enables me to have a database that functions like a spreadsheet. It's easy to use and feature-rich (with more features being added regularly). I've found it easy to use and very handy.

CONS

Some features are still in beta because Stackby is still being rapidly improved (which is actually a good thing). I feel some workflows could (and probably will) be improved and some features may be missing that some need or want. Also, it would be great if my data could be synced to an app so I don't have to rely on cloud storage only (that limits my ability to use it when I'm not online).

Reasons for switching to Stackby

For our data-management needs, Stackby is much more feature-rich than relying on a spreadsheet.

Vendor Response

Thanks Mike for the review. I'm glad you could move over your work from Excel to Stackby. We're constantly improving, please reach out to us on support with new features you'd like to see. Will definitely take into account.

Sole Trader

PROS

I am currently reviewing different apps to kick start my sole trader business. Among all the apps I have used, Stackby is one of the most intuitive ones for starters. Furthermore, its built-in integrations hold so much more potential to be more than just another cloud spreadsheet database and yet it is still adding new features.

CONS

I'd like to see more plans or add-on options to allow small startups and beginners like myself to slowly expand and grow my database with my business. Also it will be good if data among different stacks can be accessed and shared for more flexible data management.

Reason for choosing Stackby

The built-in integration option holds more flexibility and potential for future expansion.

Reasons for switching to Stackby

I needed a more flexible tool to act more than just a database to help me organize my startup business.

A Great Tool for Tracking the Flow of Information

This is an awesome tool with enormous potential. I went back and forth with other tools and eventually came back to Stackby I'd say far and away the biggest pro that tipped this over was the multi-platform accessibility. There are potentially better automation sheet style tools out there but without mobile and desktop UI, they fall short every time. Having native Mac, Cloud, and IOS interfaces is really what's needed to keep me using an app. Well done.

PROS

I love the templates and the ways that formulas are prebuilt to easily make sense of the data coming in and out of the day to day operations. I also really love how they use tags and categories to make use of various parts of the sheet style inputs.

CONS

The Power up add-on is a hard but essential sell. Also the additional styling options. I'd prefer they just offer everything in one go and do pricing that way, but it obviously didn't stop me from buying so it couldn't be that bad, right?

Reason for choosing Stackby

Promising AirTable Alternative

The support team is responsive and helpful. Overall I love the product and where it is headed.

PROS

The out-of-the-box functionality is great. Being able to embed specific views, lock views, filter, sort, etc. Also being able to share individual views instead of the entire stack or table with people is very valuable. Also being able to link records. And, while I haven't use it yet, the API integration is also something I really like about this software.

CONS

Being a new software I can appreciate they won't have 100% of the functions yet. I'd love to see being able to import and match records; currently, you can only append. This is a BIG need when it comes to keeping data up-to-date and not duplicated. Having a deduplication function would also be great and I know is in the works.

Reasons for switching to Stackby

Stackby is more affordable.

Spreadsheet on Steroids

Everything that I can think of basically. It is that good and very flexible. And my team was able to jump onboard immediate from another app.

PROS

Well I would say my title "Spreadsheet on Steroids'" is an understatement as Stackby is more like a database with the ease of use of spreadsheet. I love it that I can use for almost anything I want, and I grow to love it more everyday as I have been seeing the non-stop improvement by the team. I admit that at the beginning of the year, I did not quite like it. But once I gave it another try recently this beast becomes another monster on steroids! I love the API and the integrations that the dev team have been adding weekly, or even daily lately.

CONS

I wish the app could be a little faster. Ok it has been faster than months ago when I tried at first, but recently I feel it sometimes get a bit slower sometimes.

Reason for choosing Stackby

I like it, and more importantly my team prefer this.

Reasons for switching to Stackby

Excellent Airtable alternative at keen price - straightforward online relational database

Built our own CRM in Stackby that serves our purposes nicely.

PROS

If you've ever tried Airtable, you'll feel right at home with Stackby - the UI is very similar. For straightforward relational databases it's really quick and easy to use. You can also back up your data to a Google account, which is something lacking (and needed) in Airtable that expects you to trust their service will never have a data loss episode. Stackby is really excellence value for money, especially if you nab a lifetime deal.

CONS

Can be fussy about data typing (date formats etc) but nothing I couldn't work around. Also once you stray off the beaten path from Zapier, Mailchimp and the like to more esoteric competition, it can get a bit more patchy. But for what it says on the tin, it's really great.

Reason for choosing Stackby

Bought Infinity but found it really weirdly difficult to understand. Its data structure and terminology is so unintuitive.

A One Stop Solution For Everything

Overall it has proven to be an amazing product. Totally worth the purchase. Managing Video Production, We often have to work with huge teams of freelancers and artists at every level. Stackby makes it easier to track and manage everything. The API link helps you automatically track the performance of your videos. If you produce/market videos, I recommend using Stackby over all the tools available. 10/10 product.

PROS

API Links: The automation added by linking the data to API helped me eliminate the hectic and menial task of updating my records with the latest information. This is something I could never do with some of the other tools. I simply link my youtube uploads with the API and I NEVER have to update the views, likes, comments etc. And if at any time I change the title or description. It immediately reflects in my data at Stackby.

CONS

I hope the developers at Stackby soon add the ability to see the data in Charts and Figures.

Stackby is great to have for projects that have a lot of data that you need to keep organized. I use the Stackby for my project management system and it helps me to stay on top of everything that I need to get done.
