SmartSuite Pricing 2026

SmartSuite pricing starts at $15/user/month (Team plan, billed annually at $180/seat/year) and goes up to $50/user/month (Enterprise, $600/seat/year). The Professional tier is $32/user/month with annual billing ($384/seat/year). Monthly billing costs more: Team is $20/user/month and Professional is $36/user/month. A Signature plan with custom pricing is available for large enterprises. There is no free plan, but a 14-day free trial of the Professional tier is available.

No, SmartSuite does not offer a permanent free plan. They provide a 14-day free trial of the Professional tier that requires no credit card and does not auto-charge when it expires. After the trial, you must choose a paid plan (starting at $15/user/month on annual billing, or $20/user/month on monthly billing) to continue using SmartSuite. This contrasts with competitors like ClickUp, Monday.com, and Airtable that offer free-forever tiers.

Team ($15/user/month annual, $20 monthly, min 3 users) includes 5,000 records per solution, 50GB storage, 25,000 automation runs/month, and basic permissions. Professional ($32/user/month annual, $36 monthly, min 5 users) increases to 100,000 records per solution, 100GB storage, 100,000 automation runs/month, and adds folders, Gmail/Outlook integrations, and advanced permissions. Professional is best for teams needing email integrations and higher data limits.

SmartSuite's Team plan at $20/user/month ($15/user/month on annual billing) sits above ClickUp's Unlimited plan at $7/user/month and is roughly comparable to Monday.com's mid-tier offering. At the top end, SmartSuite's Enterprise is $50/user/month ($600/seat/year). SmartSuite differentiates by combining project management, CRM, and operations in one platform with built-in AI, which may reduce the need for multiple tools. The lack of a free plan is a trade-off compared to ClickUp and Monday.com, which both offer limited free tiers.

SmartSuite enforces minimum user counts on every paid plan: Team requires at least 3 billable users, Professional requires at least 5, and Enterprise requires at least 10. With annual billing, this means minimum annual spend is $540 for Team (3 × $180/seat/year), $1,920 for Professional (5 × $384/seat/year), and $6,000 for Enterprise (10 × $600/seat/year). Solo users or very small teams of 1-2 people cannot use SmartSuite at all on standard plans.

SmartSuite record limits vary by tier: Team allows 5,000 records per solution with 50GB storage, Professional allows 100,000 records with 100GB storage, and Enterprise allows 400,000 records with 500GB storage. During the 14-day free trial, you get Professional-tier limits (100,000 records, 100GB). Teams with very large datasets should consider Enterprise or the custom Signature plan, which supports higher limits on a negotiated basis.

Users migrating from ClickUp report SmartSuite has no lag time, offers all the same features plus more custom fields and view options, better team pricing, a nicer UI, and responsive human support. However, SmartSuite currently lacks calendar integration and a desktop app with global shortcuts that ClickUp provides. One user noted 'the pricing for teams is a huge plus' but recommended 'give it another year' for feature parity, suggesting SmartSuite is improving rapidly but not yet fully mature.

SmartSuite's Power Search feature is considered outstanding, and it allows you to control the design of your expanded record view by organizing fields into collapsible sections, reducing the need for separate 'interfaces' like Airtable requires. Users report SmartSuite is more pleasant to work in with better UI/UX, though Airtable still has a slight edge in formula functions and possibly automations. SmartSuite is about two years old (as of 2024) compared to Airtable's 10+ years, but has caught up quickly in the last six months.
