--- title: Smartsheet canonical: https://saasranked.com/software/smartsheet/ category: Project Management Software points: 77 rank: 7 of 11 facts_checked: 2026-10-08 --- # Smartsheet Spreadsheet-style project tool with Gantt, board and calendar views on every paid plan and no free plan. 77 points out of 100. #7 of 11 project management tools. Vendor: Smartsheet Inc.. Website: https://www.smartsheet.com/ - Pro costs $9 per member a month on yearly billing for 1 to 10 members, so 5 people pay $45 a month [1]. - No free plan is listed; the page offers a 30-day free trial [1]. - Pro includes Gantt, Board, Calendar views, dependencies and unlimited forms [1]. - Workload tracking starts on Business at $19 per member a month on yearly billing [1]. - SAML single sign-on is limited to Enterprise [1][3]. Verdict: Smartsheet suits small teams that want Gantt charts, dependencies and forms at $45 a month for five people on Pro [1]. The catch is the lack of a free plan, and Pro is open to new customers only [1]. Workload tracking needs Business, SAML sign-in needs Enterprise, and time tracking needs a separately quoted add-on [1][5]. Best for: Teams that think in spreadsheets and want Gantt charts and forms. ## Points | Criterion | Line | Value | Points | Note | |---|---|---|---|---| | Price | Cheapest paid plan for 5 people | $45/mo | 6/12 | Pro, $9 per member a month on yearly billing, 1 to 10 members; 5 members is $45 [1]. | | Price | Free plan | No | 0/6 | Pricing page lists no free plan, only 30 days free [1]. | | Price | People on the free plan | Not published | 0/4 | No free plan [1]. | | Views | Board view | Yes | 3/3 | Board view is listed on Pro and above [1]. | | Views | Timeline or Gantt view | Yes | 7/7 | Gantt view is listed on Pro and above [1][4]. | | Views | Calendar view | Yes | 2/2 | Calendar view is listed on Pro and above [1]. | | Planning | Task dependencies | Yes | 7/7 | Dependencies are listed on Pro and above; help article covers Gantt dependencies [1][4]. | | Planning | Workload view | Yes | 6/6 | Workload tracking is listed on Business and Enterprise, not Pro [1][2]. | | Planning | Built-in time tracking | Yes | 5/5 | Time tracking comes with Resource Management, a Smartsheet add-on quoted separately on Business and Enterprise [5]. | | Planning | Custom fields | Yes | 5/5 | Columns can be text or number, date, dropdown, checkbox or contact types [7]. | | Planning | No-code automation rules | Yes | 6/6 | Pro includes 250 automations a month; Business and Enterprise are unlimited [1]. | | Teamwork | Guest access for clients | Yes | 5/5 | Business and Enterprise list unlimited free Guests [1]. | | Teamwork | Request forms | Yes | 3/3 | Pro lists unlimited forms; Business adds conditional logic [1]. | | Teamwork | Reports and dashboards | Yes | 5/5 | Dashboards are listed on every paid plan, with 10 widgets on Pro and unlimited on Business [1]. | | Security | SOC 2 Type II or ISO 27001 | Yes | 7/7 | SOC page lists a SOC 2 Type 2 report; ISO page lists ISO/IEC 27001:2022 audited by an accredited third party [9][10]. | | Security | SAML single sign-on | Yes | 4/4 | SAML-based SSO is listed on Enterprise only [1]. | | Security | Two-step sign-in | Not published | 0/3 | Trust page says Enterprise admins can require authenticator-app MFA; it does not say users can turn it on themselves [3]. | | Apps and API | Apps | iOS, Android | 4/8 | Mobile page links App Store and Google Play apps; no Windows or macOS app is listed [6]. | | Apps and API | Public API | Yes | 2/2 | Developer site offers API docs and an API reference [8]. | ## Plans | Plan | Price | Per month (USD) | |---|---|---| | Pro | $9/member/month [1] | $9 | | Business | $19/member/month [1] | $19 | | Enterprise | Custom pricing [1] | - | Per-member prices are shown for yearly billing; the page shows higher prices for monthly billing [1]. ## Strengths - Gantt, Board and Calendar views and dependencies are all on Pro [1]. - Unlimited free Contributors on Pro, and free Guests on Business [1]. - Lists a SOC 2 Type 2 report and ISO/IEC 27001 certification [9][10]. - Mobile apps for iOS and Android, and a public API with documented column types [6][7][8]. ## Limits - No free plan; the page lists only a 30-day trial [1]. - The Pro plan is only available to new customers [1]. - Time tracking needs the Resource Management add-on, priced by quote [5]. - The mobile page lists apps for iOS and Android only, with no Windows or macOS app [6]. ## Sources 1.
