What are Free options in SmartSheet?
SmartSheet is a powerful tool that combines the flexibility of a spreadsheet with project management features. Although SmartSheet is a premium service, there are free options that offer limited access to its features. For individuals and small teams looking to try out the platform before committing, exploring SmartSheet’s free capabilities is a great place to start.
1. Free Trial
SmartSheet offers a 30-day free trial that gives users access to the platform's full suite of features. During this trial period, you can explore tools like Gantt charts, calendars, automated workflows, and reporting. The free trial is ideal for assessing if SmartSheet meets your team’s project management needs before investing in the full version.
2. View-Only Access
If your team is using SmartSheet’s paid version, free users can still benefit from view-only access. This allows individuals to view shared sheets, reports, and dashboards without having to pay for a subscription. While it limits active participation in creating and editing tasks, it still provides transparency for project progress and data updates.
3. Limited Collaborator Functionality
SmartSheet allows free users to participate as collaborators on existing sheets. While collaborators can’t create new sheets, they can edit fields, add comments, and interact with task assignments on shared sheets. This limited functionality is helpful for teams needing to share information with clients or stakeholders without requiring them to purchase a license.
4. Free Templates
SmartSheet also offers a range of free templates for various industries and use cases. These templates can help you kickstart your project organization without building workflows from scratch. Free templates are available for task tracking, marketing campaigns, event planning, and more.
