Every Smartsheet plan and what it costs
Read from the vendor's own pricing page on 19 August 2026. Charged as subscription. Free trial: 30 days.
| Plan | Price | Billing | What it is |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pro | $9 | per month | per member, billed yearly - $12 billed monthly. 1 to 10 members, unlimited free contributors. The page renders the monthly and annual figures as one adjacent pair, so both were read from the rendered layout |
| Business | $19 | per month | per member, billed yearly - $24 billed monthly. Requires 3 or more members, with unlimited guests and contributors, and adds proofing and the document builder. Read from the rendered layout, where the monthly and annual figures appear as one adjacent pair |
| Enterprise | Custom | Negotiated | Adds SSO, advanced governance, resource management and premium support |
| Dynamic View Add-on | From $125 | per month | Granular sharing controls, listed as an add-on from the Business plan upwards |
| Data Shuttle Add-on | From $100 | per month | Automated data movement between Smartsheet and other platforms, from the Business plan upwards |
What Smartsheet costs beyond the advertised price
Each of these is a figure you can check on the vendor's own page. The arithmetic is shown so you can redo it rather than take our word for it.
- Charged on top of a plan$1,500 a year
Dynamic View is charged on top of a plan rather than instead of one: $125 a month, which is $1,500 a year on top of whichever tier you hold.
Working$125 a month x 12 = $1,500 a year, added to a tier price rather than replacing it.

- Charged on top of a plan$1,200 a year
Data Shuttle is charged on top of a plan rather than instead of one: $100 a month, which is $1,200 a year on top of whichever tier you hold.
Working$100 a month x 12 = $1,200 a year, added to a tier price rather than replacing it.

- Monthly billing costs more$36 a year
The advertised $9 on Pro is the annual-payment rate. Paying monthly is $12, so the commitment is worth $36 a year per member.
Working$12 - $9 = $3 a month, x 12 = $36 a year per member.

Fixed mechanics above add $2,736 a year to the advertised price. Usage-dependent charges are listed but not summed, because a figure that depends on how much you use cannot be added to one that does not.
What Smartsheet actually costs over a year
A monthly price is not the same thing as a monthly contract. These are the plans above resolved both ways, per seat or unit where the plan is charged that way. Where a vendor quotes only a yearly figure it is divided by twelve rather than left out, and the Quoted column says which figure the vendor actually publishes.
| Plan | Quoted | Monthly | Over 12 months |
|---|---|---|---|
| Proper member, billed yearly | per month | $9 | $108 |
| Businessper member, billed yearly | per month | $19 | $228 |
| Dynamic View add-on | per month | $125 | $1,500 |
| Data Shuttle add-on | per month | $100 | $1,200 |

6 archived captures with no price we could read
The capture exists, but the figures on it could not be extracted - usually a page that renders prices in JavaScript, or a currency selector the archive did not record. Listed rather than dropped, because a gap in a price history reads as "nothing changed" and these are not that.
- 20 October 2008 - capture - no plan name sat next to a published figure in this capture
- 8 August 2011 - capture - no plan name sat next to a published figure in this capture
- 1 March 2014 - capture - no plan name sat next to a published figure in this capture
- 6 April 2016 - capture - no plan name sat next to a published figure in this capture

- 2 August 2024 - capture - capture could not be fetched (fetch failed)
Compiled 18 September 2026 from the Internet Archive Wayback Machine. Plan names were matched against the archived page text and the first currency-anchored figure within 160 characters was recorded, rejecting any figure with a competing plan name standing between it and the name it was matched to. The currency and the unit were read from each capture rather than assumed: captures served in a currency other than $, and captures where no plan name sat beside a figure, are listed as unread rather than dropped. 1 plan series was read from these captures and then discarded, because the most recent capture did not reproduce the price we verified on the live page. Only plans the extraction demonstrably reads correctly are published here. Archived pages show the price as served to the archive's crawler, which may differ by region from the price you are shown.
Smartsheet pricing against its competitors
Compared on the smallest invoice each vendor will accept, not on the advertised per-seat rate. Where a product has a seat minimum, the figure below is the minimum times the rate, because that is the cheque you would actually write.
| Product | Cheapest paid entry | Free plan | Against Smartsheet |
|---|---|---|---|
| Smartsheet | $9 a month | No | This product |
| Asana | $21.98 a month | Yes | +$12.98 a month (+144%) |
| monday.com | $27 a month | Yes | +$18 a month (+200%) |
Which Smartsheet plan should you buy?
| Your situation | Recommended | Why |
|---|---|---|
| A small team is migrating processes off spreadsheets | Pro | $9 per member billed yearly, 1 to 10 members, with unlimited free contributors. Those free contributors are the point. |
| You have more than ten members | Business | $19 per member billed yearly, unlimited members, plus proofing and document builder. |
| You need SSO, governance and resource management | Enterprise | Quote only, and typically a programme-management purchase. |
| Most participants only view or update rows | Pro or Business, and count members carefully | Contributors are free. Only licensed members are charged, so the bill can be far lower than headcount suggests. |
| You want a modern, opinionated task tool | Consider Asana or Linear instead | Smartsheet is deliberately spreadsheet-shaped, which some teams find dated. |
| You are tracking software delivery | Do not buy Smartsheet | Jira or Linear fit that work properly. |
Verdict by who you are
Enterprise programme managerYes
Portfolio and resource planning over a familiar grid, which is why it persists in large organisations.
Team with many occasional contributorsYes
Unlimited free contributors makes wide participation genuinely cheap.
Team that thinks in spreadsheetsYes
The interface is an advantage rather than a compromise if that is how your people work.
Modern product teamNo
The spreadsheet metaphor will feel like a step backwards.
Software engineering teamNo
Not an issue tracker.
Should you buy Smartsheet?
Buy Smartsheet if…
- Enterprises migrating critical processes off spreadsheets
- Programme and portfolio management with resource planning
- Organisations with many occasional contributors
Do not buy Smartsheet if…
- Small teams wanting a modern, opinionated task tool
- Software delivery, where dedicated trackers fit better
- Buyers who dislike a spreadsheet-shaped interface
What leaving Smartsheet would cost
moderate lock-in
Smartsheet scores on public API. Portability 5/10 ; lock-in is the inverse. How this is calculated.
The licensing model is the underrated part
Most work management tools charge for everyone who touches the work. Smartsheet distinguishes members, who create and own sheets and need a licence, from contributors, who can edit rows, comment and respond to update requests for free.
For a programme with six coordinators and two hundred occasional participants, that difference is enormous. Compare it against monday.com or Asana, where a department-wide rollout means a department-wide licence count, and the arithmetic frequently favours Smartsheet despite the higher headline price.
The 10-member cap on Pro
Pro is $9 per member per month billed yearly and limited to ten members. That is a hard ceiling, and crossing it means Business at $19, roughly doubling the per-member cost. Organisations expecting to pass ten owners within the year should model Business from the start.
Why spreadsheet-shaped is a feature
Every migration off Excel fails the same way: the new tool is better, and people keep using Excel anyway. Smartsheet reduces that resistance by keeping rows, columns and formulas as the mental model while adding what spreadsheets lack. It is not the most elegant answer, but it is the one that survives contact with an organisation that has run on spreadsheets for fifteen years.
Where it is the wrong choice
Software teams should use Jira. Small teams wanting something modern and opinionated will be happier on Asana or monday.com. And organisations without formal scheduling requirements are paying for dependency management and resource planning they will never open.
Smartsheet questions, answered
- Is Smartsheet worth it?
- Smartsheet is unfashionable and effective.
- How much does Smartsheet cost?
- Pro from $9 per member/month billed yearly. The cheapest paid tier we recorded is Pro, published at $9 a month, which works out at $9 a month or $108 over a year. Verified against the vendor's pricing page.
- Does Smartsheet have a free plan or free trial?
- Smartsheet has no free plan. A free trial is available: 30 days.
- What is the best Smartsheet alternative?
- It depends on the job. monday.com: More approachable and better looking, with less depth in scheduling. Microsoft Project: The traditional alternative where formal project management is required. Asana: Better for cross-functional work that is not schedule-driven.
- Can I self-host Smartsheet?
- No. Smartsheet is a hosted service only, so your data lives on the vendor's infrastructure.

Desk research from Smartsheet's own pricing page, re-read on 19 August 2026 through a United States egress. The page renders every currency in one string, so the dollar figures were separated from the euro, sterling and other pairs by position rather than read from a clean label - the reason both the monthly and annual rates are recorded here. Nobody here has used Smartsheet.
