Product Details

What is Stackby?

Stackby is designed to bring together the simplicity of spreadsheets, the functionality of databases and integrations with best business APIs to let anyone build their own tools, the way they want. No coding needed.

Users can build a database from scratch, import data from pre-existing sources like spreadsheets or Google Sheets, or choose from over 100 pre-built templates across multiple categories.

Stackby offers over 25 unique column types like text, number, date/time, collaborators, dropdowns, ratings, add formulas for automated computation, and users can bring in attachments from a computer or cloud storage, or link records between tables to define relationships, reference data from a different table altogether via lookup or aggregation.

Users can also connect columns to popular third-party APIs like YouTube, Facebook, MailChimp, SerpStat, Hunter.io, Clearbit, GitHub, etc., and let Stackby pull the desired information automatically via pre-built API functions.

Users can select specific data from the API response using a built-in JSON data explorer and configure the column(s). Once set, refresh to get data in real-time.

Visualize data in multiple data layouts - Table, Kanban, Calendar, Gallery, Custom Forms and Internal updatable forms.

All updates are synced automatically to enable collaboration in real-time by also adding checklists, setting reminders, even sending slack notifications for individual rows.

Better alternative to Google Sheets

Rating: 9 out of 10
September 20, 2021
Stackby really shines when it comes to organized rows and sheets. You have lots of formatting options to personalize how you view your sheets. Like the type of formatted row ( dropdown, numbers, emails, links, colors, and autofill). You can't accomplish this with a traditional sheet.
  • Grab data from YouTube and add it to Stackby
  • Organize sheet views
Cons
  • Speed
  • Formulas to update fields
As a small business owner, it's important to be able to organize your data sheet in a way that makes sense to you. This is where a visualization sheet comes in handy. Visualization tools provide an easy way to see data visually in rows and columns that might not have been seen otherwise when looking at numbers or letters like traditional sheets.

Love it. Extremely versatile tool for any business.

Stackby has so many uses cases. Since Stackby is a spreadsheet tool powered by a database, we are able to quickly put together systems that are needed to help our team stay organized and efficient. For example, a CRM system can be put together with client information automatically imported through integration. Then, a team member fills in relevant data using a predetermined drop-down list for each field, ensuring information remains uniform regardless of who is working on it. From there, we can send messages or SMS to any client using Stackby's integration with Twillio or Whatsapp. I am sure we can also find many more ways Stackby can be utilized in our office since the list of integrations is growing and the team looks to be passionate about their product.
  • Ability to collaborate with team members on the same spreadsheet
  • Ability to integrate multiple tools for centralized utilization (i.e. Facebook, Google Analytics, project management, etc.)
  • Ability to send SMS and messages using integration with Twillio and Whatsapp
  • All spreadsheets/databases securely saved in the cloud instead of on local hard drive(s)
Cons
  • How a stack is displayed after embedding into another page using their provided script. Currently, it shows the rows in a completely different layout.
  • Currently, no support for custom domains.
  • Cannot customize cell colors. Currently, can only change colors for predefined texts within a cell.
  • Lack of integration with Google ads or YouTube ads. Currently, only integration with Facebook ads exists (although I believe more will be added later).
Stackby is very versatile with many uses cases. Once we started using this tool in our office, we were able to replace all our Excel-related procedures, which I never thought would be possible. Would recommend to any person or business that uses Excel heavily.

We have found Stackby to be a flexible spreadsheet and database combo that can be integrated with other products. It helps extend spreadsheet use cases where relational database type functionality is needed. It allows us to create custom, dynamic applications which can fill needs in multiple departments and industries. It is also easy to implement and use for our organization.
  • Dynamic Spreadsheet
  • Interactive Forms
  • Integration with most major applications and SaaS products
Cons
  • Early versions were missing some fetures
  • Some features need additional add-ons. May not be obvious until you try to use them.
  • More native integrations would be nice
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.

Stackby has truly transformed the way our team operates, providing us with a game-changing solution for streamlining our workflows. From data management to collaboration, Stackby has exceeded our expectations and become an invaluable asset.<br><br>One of the standout features of Stackby is its seamless integration of spreadsheets, databases, and project management tools. This all-in-one platform has eliminated the need for multiple disjointed tools, allowing us to consolidate our processes and work more efficiently.<br><br>Customization options in Stackby are exceptional. We can tailor databases, fields, and views to match our specific needs, ensuring that we have complete control over our data and workflows. The ability to create personalized templates has been a tremendous time-saver, enabling us to quickly set up projects and get started without any hassle.<br><br>Collaboration on Stackby is effortless. The real-time editing and commenting features facilitate smooth communication among team members, eliminating the need for back-and-forth emails or messages. Sharing and collaborating on databases has never been easier, enhancing transparency and fostering effective teamwork.
  • Stackby excels in its ability to create custom databases tailored to specific needs, whether it's for project management, CRM, content planning, or any other use case. The flexibility to design fields, add attachments, and include various data types ensures that our databases are structured exactly as required.
  • The seamless collaboration features of Stackby enable real-time editing, commenting, and sharing of databases with team members and clients. This allows for efficient teamwork, instant updates, and streamlined communication, ensuring everyone stays on the same page.
  • Stackby's integration capabilities deserve praise, as it seamlessly connects with popular tools like Google Sheets, Trello, and Airtable. This integration eliminates data silos, allows for data synchronization across platforms, and enables smooth data exchange, enhancing productivity and data consistency.
Cons
  • The learning curve for some of the more advanced features can be steep, particularly for users who are less tech-savvy or new to the platform. Clearer and more comprehensive documentation, along with interactive tutorials, would greatly assist users in mastering these features.
  • While Stackby offers a variety of templates for different use cases, expanding the template library with more industry-specific templates would be beneficial. This would provide users with ready-made solutions tailored to their specific industries, saving time and effort in setting up workflows.
  • Although Stackby offers integrations with popular third-party applications, expanding the list of available integrations would enhance its compatibility with a wider range of tools. This would give users more options and flexibility when connecting Stackby with their existing software stack.
Based on my experience, I can provide specific scenarios where Stackby is well suited and others where it may be less appropriate:

Project Management: Stackby is an excellent choice for project management scenarios. Its ability to create custom databases, track tasks, assign responsibilities, and collaborate in real-time makes it highly effective for managing and monitoring project progress.

CRM and Sales: Stackby is well suited for managing customer relationships and sales processes. Its customizable database structure allows for organizing customer information, tracking leads, managing deals, and generating reports. The ability to integrate with other tools further enhances its usefulness in CRM and sales workflows.

Content Planning: Stackby is a great fit for content planning scenarios. Users can create databases to manage editorial calendars, track content ideas, assign tasks to team members, and monitor content performance. Collaboration features facilitate seamless content collaboration and ensure timely publishing.

I use Stackby to manage a roster of clients we offer fiscal sponsorship to. Prior to Stackby I would need to cobble together Drive documents, spreadsheets, email lists, etc. Whereas Stackby allows me to both contain all of those processes in one place as well as then add automation to the mix.
  • Build out profiles for clients with correlating data tables
  • Integrate into my existing services
  • Quick and actually helpful product support, often directly from the founder
Cons
  • Auto translation of Google Sheets documents into Stackby format
  • Better formula support and formula offerings for dynamic budgeting and budget forecasting
  • better non-admin user interface
Any situation where you need to either collect, examine and/or present data in multiple perspectives to better complete or illustrate the goal of your work.
