Stackby - Plus Exclusive Reviews

I purchased the 2021 AppSumo deal for Stackby but never got around to doing much more than playing around with it. Now I've got a good reason to, and I'm very happy with both the product and the support. I've used the Ai****ble product which is good, but I'm not happy with the apparent change of direction that company is taking towards enterprise level customers more than SMBs. Stackby is a great product with very attentive support

Hello everyone

I have been using Airt… for many years and when I want to dive into it in a more complex way, I find it challenging. Until now Stackby makes it a lot easier and that is what I love.

I know it is expensive, but when you really want to dive into the digital world you will have the need of a great database to grow. And I was looking for a way how to get rid of Airt… and now I have found what I was looking for. Of course the options here are not endless, but are a great way to start and to expand to a subscription when needed.

Please do not forget the add-ons mentioned at the end of the page because they make all the difference, at least for me. I know it is a lot of money. Think, what you can do with it and I love the templates they offer. I am creating my own tables based on the templates and my tables are sometimes even more complex. I am using the software and one add-on app to write my contracts in the future. Further, I will use it for planning my social media content, my blog posts, etc. I have not investigated all yet and the journey will take me some more days or weeks, but I am really looking forward to it.

In the past, I have used Airt… even for listing psychotherapists or my revenue and costs. I found printing of the psychotherapist list challenging and what by I have seen, it seems relatively easy on Stackby. In addition, I found it difficult to create reports on Airt… and hope that with the app in Stackby it will be much easier. I have not used this function yet, but I know I will use it soon when I have finished creating the social media database because then I would to visualise the results and the growth.

Not all the challenges I faced might be a hurdle for others on Airt… I hope that things stay like this and I know I will be really using this software a lot.

And the support team which I have needed a few times already, less for the software itself as for the acquisition of the software is really quick to respond. I am really looking forward to the new developments that the future will bring and my adventure with my created databases.

Stackby looks really promising. What I don't like is that once you purchase the tool, you realize that to use the truly interesting features, you need to pay more for add-ons.

The "Powerups" that include functions for forms and tables that really look great are not usable unless you upgrade to a paid plan or purchase an add-on for $149 USD/year.

Other add-ons cost more and more, so if I want to have the 3 most interesting features which are: App Marketplace, Automations, and Powerups, I have to spend approximately $450 USD/year. In my case, that's too high for 3 users that already cost me $260 USD.
In that case, it's better to get a plan for 3 users on the business plan for $299 USD/year, and I save $150 USD/year + the initial LTD for those 3 users, and I'll also have much more interesting limits.

If I'm misunderstanding this, please correct me.

First time purchaser and reviewer here.

I was super excited to try this out, and I think it has potential but so far I'm not super impressed.

Have run into a ton of bugs and after spending hours setting up a stack which I was hoping to use for our business, it's become unusable. I'm not sure if there is a limit of columns that can be supported but it will hang and never load certain views. (Using web app, desktop app or app on an android tablet. Still have to test ios app, assuming there is one)

Support from Rachit was great at first then completely disappeared.

"Speak to a human" option on the app opens a chat that doesn't get responded to.

Now I'm getting an "over limits" warning on my account despite being well within the usage limits.

I reached out to Rachit months ago about the following concerns and never received a response:

-Extremely long lag/load time between tables/stacks (Windows app & online version)
-Constantly kicked out and having to log back in
-Log in process sometimes takes minutes
-Always have a "new version available" pop-up when I do log in - clicking refresh does nothing (Windows app & online version)
-Apps do not work on the Windows App (Charts specifically)
-Apps should not have to go to “sleep” and are painfully slow to refresh/load
-Apps sidebar often conflicts with grid view and gets "stuck"
-Page designer becomes unresponsive and will no longer load/work once you add a larger quantity of fields

So far, I feel like I wasted $1k + with multiple seats and add-ons purchased directly from the creator.

I'm hoping these issues get addressed and some serious updates come soon, but so far I regret investing money in this.

My experience with has been great. I was able to get started quickly thanks to the 300 templates and numerous integrations. Since I also use Pabbly and Make, the workflow possibilities are extensive. I have several other project management tools, but I immediately saw the advantage of using Stackby. It gives me a broad view of all the key areas of the business that I am able to access both on my desktop and mobile. This is especially important on my end since I am involved in a few ventures and need quick access to information. I decided to fully stack and also get both optional addons. In addition, I am impressed at the quality and speed of service (I received an answer only after a few minutes). The product is constantly being improved with new features. In short I would give more than 5 Tacos if I could.
