About Stackby

Stackby is an Airtable-style database aimed at small businesses and marketing teams. Tables, linked columns, formulas, forms and the usual grid, kanban, calendar and gallery views are all there, but its distinctive feature is the set of built-in API connectors: columns can pull live data from services such as YouTube, Meta Ads and AI models, and refresh it on a schedule, without a separate automation tool. It also includes automations, an app-style interface designer and AI fields. Pricing is noticeably cheaper than Airtable: a free plan for small teams, then Economy, Business and higher tiers billed per user, with the price shown for a chosen team size and large discounts for yearly payment. It runs in the browser, with desktop apps for Mac and Windows and mobile apps for iOS and Android. The trade-off is a smaller user base and community, fewer polished templates for complex operations, and occasional rough edges in the interface compared with the larger players.

Best for: Small teams and marketers who want cheap shared tables that pull data from APIs.
