Smartsheet — Pro is $9 per member per month billed yearly or $12 monthly, Business $19 or $24 — and unlimited free Contributors are the reason the per-seat price works.
Short answer: Smartsheet Pro costs $9 per member per month billed yearly or $12 billed monthly, and Business costs $19 per member per month billed yearly or $24 monthly. Enterprise and Advanced Work Management are both custom-priced and sold by contact. Pro covers 1 to 10 members with unlimited free Contributors, Gantt, table, board and calendar views, rich formulas, conversational AI features, unlimited sheets and 250 automations a month. Business starts at three members, adds unlimited free Guests, timeline view, workload tracking, admin capabilities, unlimited automations, connections to external AI tools and 1 TB of attachment storage. A 30-day free trial with no credit card is offered. Those figures were read from smartsheet.com/pricing on 1 October 2026, which also prices Dynamic View from $125 a month and Data Shuttle from $100 a month as add-ons.

Verdict at a glance
Overall rating: 4.0/5 ★★★★☆
Standout: Unlimited free Contributors on Pro and unlimited free Guests on Business mean you pay only for the people who build sheets, not everyone who fills one in — which is the single biggest difference from per-user project tools.
Watch out: Two of the four plans carry no price, and the premium capabilities most enterprise buyers actually want — Control Center, Data Shuttle, DataMesh, Connectors, Dynamic View, Resource Management — are add-ons or Advanced Work Management only. Two of them are priced on the page at $125 and $100 a month; the rest are not priced at all.
Smartsheet’s published ladder is short and readable: Pro at $9 per member per month billed yearly or $12 billed monthly, Business at $19 or $24, then Enterprise and Advanced Work Management with no figures. The pricing model is the part worth understanding, because it is not the usual per-user arithmetic. A Member is someone who builds and owns sheets; a Contributor is someone who views, edits rows and submits forms. Pro includes unlimited free Contributors and Business adds unlimited free Guests on top, so a ten-person team running intake forms for a 200-person company pays for ten seats. Against a tool that bills every participant, that is a large difference, and it is the reason Smartsheet survives at $9 when it looks expensive per feature. The cost rises sharply past the published tiers. Enterprise adds scenario planning, portfolios, SAML SSO, the Enterprise Plan Manager, unlimited attachment storage and directory integrations, all unpriced. Advanced Work Management bundles Control Center, Dynamic View, Data Shuttle, Connectors, DataMesh, the Calendar and Pivot apps and premium support, also unpriced. Several of those are available as individual add-ons, and the page prices only two of them: Dynamic View from $125 a month and Data Shuttle from $100 a month. Brandfolder for digital asset management and Resource Management for capacity planning are listed without any figure. So the honest summary is: a small team can buy Smartsheet from a price list, and a large one cannot. Four stars. The seat model is genuinely fair, both billing periods are published for both paid tiers, the 30-day trial needs no card, and the free-Contributor allowance is unusual and valuable. The deductions are for the unpriced half of the product and for a premium-add-on page where most tiles show capability and no cost.

Overview
Pro is $9 per member per month billed yearly, or $12 billed monthly, and is sized at 1 to 10 members with unlimited Contributors. It includes Gantt, table, board and calendar views, rich formulas, conversational AI features, unlimited sheets, forms and reports, and 250 automations a month.

Thirteen billing currencies are selectable on the page.
Above those, two tiers carry the words ‘Custom pricing’. Enterprise is sized at 10+ members and adds scenario planning, portfolios, SAML-based SSO, the Enterprise Plan Manager, unlimited attachment storage and directory integrations. Advanced Work Management, badged ‘best value’ on the page, bundles Control Center, Dynamic View, Data Shuttle, Connectors, DataMesh, the Calendar App, the Pivot App and premium support. Both are ‘contact us’.
The premium features section is where the real budgeting happens, and it is only half priced. Dynamic View, for sharing filtered slices of a sheet, is listed from $125 a month and is eligible on Business and Enterprise. Data Shuttle, for automated import and export, is from $100 a month on the same tiers. Brandfolder for digital asset management is marked eligible on all plans with no price. Resource Management, Control Center, the Calendar App, the Pivot App, Connectors, DataMesh and Bridge are all described with no figure attached. The trial is 30 days and requires no credit card, and the page claims over 85% of Fortune 500 companies as customers.

Pricing (as of 2026-10-01)
Model: per Member per month, billed yearly or monthly; Contributors and Guests are free · Free tier: ⚠️ No free plan — 30-day trial, no card required · Entry paid: $9/member/mo billed yearly ($12/member/mo billed monthly)
| Plan | Price | Includes |
|---|---|---|
| Pro | $9/member/mo yearly | 1–10 Members · unlimited Contributors · Gantt, board, calendar · 250 automations/mo · conversational AI |
| Pro (monthly) | $12/member/mo | Same as Pro, billed monthly |
| Business | $19/member/mo yearly | 3+ Members · unlimited Guests · timeline · workload tracking · unlimited automations · 1 TB storage |
| Business (monthly) | $24/member/mo | Same as Business, billed monthly |

Both billing periods are published: $9 and $19 per member per month billed yearly, $12 and $24 billed monthly. Comparison tables usually quote the yearly figure without saying so.
Only Members are billed. Contributors are unlimited and free from Pro, and Guests are unlimited and free from Business — so form submitters and row editors do not consume seats.
⚠️ Enterprise and Advanced Work Management carry no price. If you need SAML SSO, portfolios or Control Center, budget for a quote rather than extrapolating from $19.
⚠️ Of the premium add-ons, only two are priced on the page: Dynamic View from $125 a month and Data Shuttle from $100 a month, both eligible on Business and Enterprise. Brandfolder, Resource Management, Control Center, Connectors, DataMesh, Bridge and the Calendar and Pivot apps show no figure.
The trial is 30 days and needs no credit card. Thirteen currencies are selectable, so a non-USD buyer should read the price in their own currency rather than converting.

Smartsheet read from smartsheet.com/pricing on 2026-10-01 in both billing periods. Airtable from this site’s facts file, verified from the vendor’s page on the date recorded there.
Alternatives
Airtable is the nearest structured-data rival and publishes a comparable per-seat price. ClickUp and monday.com compete on breadth at lower entry prices but bill every participant. Wrike is closest on portfolio and resource management, and Trello or Basecamp are the cheaper answers if Gantt and portfolios are not the point.
