No-code workspace combining spreadsheets, relational databases, views, and forms with a free-forever tier.

Card required
No

Stackby scores 6.2/10 for free value in Workspace. The main constraint: Free forever for up to 5 editors (plus read-only guests) with 10 stacks, 1,500 rows and 2 GB attachment storage per stack, 2 MB file uploads, 2-week revision history, 100 automation runs/month, and 2 API integrations.

Category Workspace Kind No-code database / spreadsheet workspace Caveats Per-stack caps are low (1,500 rows and 2 GB attachments per stack, 2 MB file upload limit) and revision/activity history is only 2 weeks. Powerups, Apps Marketplace, synced tables, and automatic API connector refresh are all paid-only; the free tier has just 2 API integrations and 100 automation runs/month. Sources disagree on editor/guest counts (Stackby's pricing page lists "5 editors + 50 read-only guests" while the help-center comparison table lists "Unlimited users") and on stack count (10 in the comparison table vs 20 elsewhere) — verify at signup.
