    Apple Numbers is the PERFECT tool if you are looking to plan a conference at your church. Furthermore, if you are a youth pastor, Apple Numbers is incredibly useful in keeping track of how much each of your high school students has accumulated funds towards their summer camp bill. Lastly, Apple Numbers is perfect if you are trying to keep track of all your upcoming preaching opportunities.

    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.

    Cons
    Apple
    • Doesn’t have all the bells and whistles as excel.
    • Sometimes you have to save it in a different format for others to view
    • Could include more options on the menu bar rather than clicking on some of the drop downs.

    • Implement the same views available on desktop into the mobile app
    • Internal automations (like Airtable)
    • Ability to implement and display info as a dashboard (like Airtable)
    • Polish up the formatting of formulas, inputting them causes user frustration due to the formula input cursor jumping around
    • Better intelligence and ease of inputting data in bulk i.e have the fields automatically identify what data is being input and format appropriately (like Airtable does)

    Usability
    Apple
    Like I've mentioned before, the navigation of Apple Numbers is very easy to follow. Finding out how to do something is pretty easy and doesn't take poking around in the menus to figure out. I still wouldn't recommend Numbers if you are collaborating with others because they most likely would be using other spreadsheet applications

    Stackby is overall pretty easy to use, especially if you're used to something like Airtable or SmartSuite. Some of the pages seem like near exact clones (though they put their own creative spin on things). I'd prefer a slighty fresher interface (like SmartSuite), but I'm willing to sacrifice that for the better price and great customer service.

    has a more refined interface, allows for making good looking spreadsheets with little effort. though these other softwares each have their own positives and negatives. But Excel and Odoo are top in features and managing large amounts of data. Apple Numbers is good until you need to clean large amounts of accounting data.

    I have also tried Ora.Pm. Infinity has better graphical interface, but nowhere near as many features and the UI isn't as effective (i.e, moving around with keys). Grist has a much more technical interface and it comes from being more of a database/interactive spreadsheet vs Stackby. Grist has much more functionality in terms of formulas, but is much harder to learn to use and less other functionalities. Ora.PM is more of a test at a task management app, and doesn't compare - Stackby is much better.
