About SmartSuite
SmartSuite is a hosted no-code platform that sits between Airtable and a project-management tool. You build solutions out of tables with rich field types, linked records and views such as grid, kanban, timeline, Gantt, map and calendar, then add automations, forms, dashboards and SmartDoc rich-text fields. Ready-made solution templates target IT service delivery, governance and risk, portfolio management and other operational processes, which makes it popular with teams that want structure without designing everything from scratch. Compared with Airtable it offers more built-in project features and higher record limits at each tier. There is no free plan; instead a 14-day trial with no credit card leads into Team, Professional and Enterprise tiers priced per seat, with extra storage billed in blocks. It runs in the browser. The breadth can feel heavy for simple lists, and its third-party integration catalogue is smaller than the market leaders'.
Best for: Operations and PMO teams wanting an Airtable-like database with stronger project features.
