The honest half
Where it falls short
Concrete and checkable, so you can decide whether any of them matter to you. This is the half of a review a vendor will not write about AppSheet.
- Starter plan at $5 per user per month limits the native database to 5 databases at 2,500 rows each
- Enterprise Plus at $20 per user per month can only be purchased by a Google Workspace Administrator
- Free exploration is capped at 10 users
