Stackby
About Stackby
Stackby is a real-time collaborative database platform.
You can build your database from scratch with imported data from pre-existing sources (spreadsheets or Google Sheets), or choose from 150+ pre-built templates across multiple categories to start sorting the right way, right away.
Configure basic column types like text, number, date/time, collaborators, dropdowns, etc. while first getting your feet wet with the platform.
When you’re ready to dive headfirst into the deep end, try more advanced column types that grow with your team.
Add formulas for automated computation, bring in attachments from your computer or cloud storage, and reference data from a different table altogether via lookup.
Link records between tables to define relationships, count and aggregate data from your columns, or try any combination of more than 25 unique column types available on Stackby.
Best of all, you can connect your columns to third-party APIs like YouTube, Hunter.io, Clearbit, Intercom, etc., and let Stackby pull the desired information automatically.
Tell Stackby what specific data you want using a built-in JSON explorer and Stackby will do the rest. Once set, you can refresh to get data in real-time or schedule it to run at periodic intervals.
You can even configure a column to a button that lets you send an SMS or WhatsApp message via the Twilio API.
Want more customization? You got it.
Convert your table into a Kanban view to enable board style workflows, switch to Calendar mode for chronological viewing, or create Custom Forms to share with anyone or embed it on your website to collect responses.
No matter how you choose to see your data, know that everyone else on your team is seeing the same thing you are.
All updates are synced automatically so you can collaborate in real-time by adding checklists, setting reminders, even sending Slack notifications for individual rows.
Plus, now there's even a Stackby mobile app for iOS and Android to plan, manage, and automate your work from anywhere.

Stackby is quite a young company, but have a very solid foundation already, and a responsive and open-minded support. I see no reason why this tool over time should not be market-leading in it's area.
Let me also explain why I did not gave 5 stars a few places in my rating. Here in January 2020 there are still room for small improvements, when it comes to the UI, UX and help section/features. These areas are still above average already, and I also know from their support further improvements are already planned.
Pros
Stackby combines the best of spreadsheets, databases, forms and task management (kanban style & tasks shown in a calendar view). In other words, you can create and modify your entities in different views, based on your needs. The tool let you also notify team-members if they are connected to e.g. a specific task, but also let you live-chat with your team-members inside the platform. You can also set reminders on tasks if needed. You can create forms, based on your custom created columns in Stackby, and then embed or share your form. It means you can ask people for input, and their input will automatically go into your Stackby column and rows, where you work further on their inputs.
Cons
I love the unique idea of system integrations and the use of API’s. But the current 15 integrations are way too little, and I unfortunately don’t see integration with any past LTDs. After I reach out to support, I understand they constantly adding more integrations, and currently work on a Zapier integration. That will be a game-changer, but I still recommend the team to list the integrations in scope and estimate how many integrations they will do per quarter in 2020.
When you work with critical data, you also need the opportunity to work with revisions and enable an opportunity to roll back your work to a specific date. I know they currently list revision on a per row basis – this is really great, to have this kind of overview. Now they only need to implement a ‘roll-back’ feature.

An Essential Tool for Our Business
Reviewed on 2023/03/15
Pros
The interactions between columns and between stacks makes this a really wonderful hybrid tool.
Cons
I had really wanted to use this to replace our existing budget in Google Sheets but I tried and failed several times to get the cells to work with the same kind of formulas we rely on to do things like calculate percentages etc and it was a bit clunky. Also the only place we could get totals was at the bottom of the stack which doesn't''t translate well to a an actually readable working budget.

AirtableReasons for Switching to Stackby
Generally this is an invaluable tool. I've used airtable and Infinity and for the value and constant commitment to dynamically adapting their toolset, Stackby has been essential to track our growing list of clients and where they are in our onboarding process. Their templates are great starters and the support is prompt and efficient.there are still some growing pains but those are far outshone by the sheer utility of this software.Response from Relytree
Thanks Dane for your review!

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.

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)

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.Stackby FAQs
