The cloud-native distributed SQL database
Overview
What Grist does
Hybrid spreadsheet and database tool combining spreadsheet editing with relational data structure, open source with a hosted tier.
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 Grist.
- Hosted plans run $10 to $29 per month per workspace, and the free self-hosted option requires running the software yourself to avoid that cost

Softwr does not host reviews and shows no star rating for Grist, because a rating we did not collect is not ours to publish. What is here is the pricing and platform detail from the vendor’s own pages, limitations we could state concretely, and alternatives a reviewer confirmed people weigh against it. Tell us if any of it is wrong.
