Verdict
Baserow offers a more modern, Airtable-like experience with app building and automations that Smartsheet lacks on its Pro plan. Smartsheet is better for traditional project management, but Baserow wins for no-code database and app use cases.
Best for: Teams wanting a modern no-code database with app builder capabilities instead of Smartsheet's project-focused approach
