The price per head multiplied by the size of the team. Where the vendor sets a flat rate or a limit on seats for a plan, the chart follows it and leaves a plan out at a size it is not sold for. Volume discounts and add ons are not included.

Starting prices of the priced products in the same category, cheapest first. This is a price sort, not a ranking: the cheapest product is not the best one, and some are priced per user, some per month and some excluding VAT.
Bar lengths use a square root scale, so a very high price does not flatten the rest. The figures are exact.
The middle starting price of the paid products here is R170.
A dot is one plan. Free plans and plans on request have no price to place. A per user price is the price of one user.
A founding year says how long a company has existed. It says nothing about how good the product is.

Smartsheet overview
Overview, 7:06, published 12 November 2025. From the Smartsheet channel on YouTube.
A video loads from YouTube only when you press play. The still picture before that comes from YouTube's image servers.
Smartsheet is built around members who create and manage work, and contributors who update it. Pro covers one to ten members with unlimited sheets, forms and reports and 250 automations a month, and includes Gantt, table, board and calendar views. Business is for three or more members and adds timeline view, workload tracking, admin capabilities, unlimited automations and 1 terabyte of attachment storage. Enterprise adds scenario planning, portfolios, SAML based single sign on and directory integrations for ten or more members. Advanced Work Management adds Control Center, Dynamic View, Data Shuttle and premium support.
The page makes no South African claims beyond regional pricing. Support options by plan should be confirmed with the vendor.
Member minimums, a paid only model and a price that varies by page make it harder to compare than its rivals.
Against Wrike, Smartsheet is more spreadsheet like and Wrike is more task and request oriented. See the full comparison.

In short
A good fit for a team that already thinks in sheets, and one of few in this category that prices in rand. Count the members who build and manage, since contributors are free, and check the limits of the plan you need.
Start where the vendor sells it, and keep this page open beside you for the limits.
From R170 /user /mo
Yes. Smartsheet's paid plans include unlimited free contributors and guests, so you pay for the members who build and manage sheets, and not for everyone who fills them in.
Smartsheet starts at R170 /user per user a month. It lists 2 priced plans, from R170 /user to R359 /user.
The vendor's page does not say whether VAT is included, so we show the plain figure and do not guess. Ask before you compare it with a price that states its basis.
