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.

Relational databases will change your life

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Being used across the entire business to structure a CRM and garner business intelligence in the form of business insights via the ability to view, organise and structure data in customisable ways.
Pros
  • Customisable data structuring
  • Ability to view data in different views (grid, calendar etc.) on desktop.
  • Ability to fetch data via API's i.e. YouTube
Cons
  • 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)
Likelihood to Recommend
Stackby without question can be used in multiple ways, that is the beauty of using a relational database. I use it for a business CRM, person journal, software tracker, etc. It has many, many uses and benefits. The user is only limited by their willingness to set it up (or use a template and modify accordingly).

Although it is no doubt versatile and great to use (on desktop), if the user is reliant on using Stackby on mobile, they will become frustrated as the functionality is stripped [down] on mobile in comparison to the desktop app (i.e no landscape view, no alternate views, hard to see and review data, etc.). I for one am hoping that the mobile app is developed further for those that use Stackby on a mobile [device].


Stackby Feature Ratings
Return on Investment
  • By its customisation, I have seen business intelligence that was not evident or available by using other software
  • Has helped to organise all my data (work and personal) into interesting relationships that help with better decision making
  • Has created extra curiosity in its flexibility and customisation to have all my datasets used and manipulated into meaningful ways
Alternatives Considered
I am a paying user of both Stackby and Airtable. I use both both as there are some shortcomings of both.

Airtable is more developed and useful on both desktop and mobile, whereas Stackby is not. Airtable has useful internal automations, dashboards and a huge online community, whereas Stackby does not.

I believe Stackby may have a different focus and that of marketing intelligence niche as it has inbuilt API's that fetch data from the likes of YouTube, etc. So, I think Stackby may be going after a different market.

As mentioned earlier, I own both. I love to have options and love the pure power, customisation of relational databases with their customisation, ability to represent data in meaningful ways and the benefit of warning insights from the data that is seldom available with most SaaS of the sheep products.

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.
Pros
  • 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
Likelihood to Recommend
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.

Used primarily by me, but extending soon to the whole team. It allowed me to build a streamlined CRM that suited our needs. It's a great alternative to Airtable - has a very similar UI and is very simple to use. Perfect for setting up straightforward online relational databases. Amazing value for money compared with Airtable.

There are the occasional few kinks - can be fussy with data formatting and we had a few issues when straying from the beaten path of Zapier / Mailchimp, etc to more unusual competitors, but overall it's just difficult to beat the value for money and the development team seems pretty onto it.
Pros
  • Relational databases
  • Custom spreadsheet-like data storage
  • Import and export
  • You can back it up!!
Cons
  • Integration with PabblyConnect could be better
Likelihood to Recommend
Great for simple relational databases that you can custom build for a small business, or a large business with not too many requirements to handshake with other systems. It's very quick and easy to build interlinked business systems with just Stackby.

If you're a corporate and can afford it, Airtable is still the leader. But Stackby is exceptionally good value for money and pretty useful for our little company!
Stackby Feature Ratings
Return on Investment
  • Better tracking of customer facing activity
  • Less forgotten contacts
  • $48 US per month saved in Airtable fees!
Alternatives Considered
Airtable - better all round than Stackby but way more expensive (actually not all round - Stackby you can actually backup unlike Airtable)

Infinity - bought this and wished we hadn't. Its data structures and terminology are super-confusing and it's really hard to set up

Notion - not strong enough as a database but very lovely to look at!
