Smartsheet Pricing Explained: Plans, Costs and What You Get
Smartsheet pricing starts at $9 per member per month on the Pro plan, billed annually. The Business plan costs $19 per member per month on annual billing. Enterprise pricing is custom, and there is no free plan for new signups. A 30-day free trial is available, and no credit card is needed to start it.
This guide breaks down each Smartsheet plan, what it includes, and what it really costs for a team. Prices come from Smartsheet's own pricing page, checked in November 2026. Smartsheet can change prices at any time, so confirm the current figures on its pricing page before you pay.
Smartsheet pricing at a glance
| Plan | Price per member/month (annual billing) | Price per member/month (monthly billing) | Members | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pro | $9 | $12 | 1 to 10 | Individuals and small teams |
| Business | $19 | $24 | 3 or more | Teams running several projects |
| Enterprise | Custom quote | Custom quote | 10 or more | Larger organisations needing security and control |
| Advanced Work Management | Custom quote | Custom quote | By need | Enterprise programme and portfolio work |
Annual billing saves about 25% on Pro and about 21% on Business. Monthly billing costs more, but it avoids a yearly commitment. Every paid plan charges per member, not per viewer. People who only view shared work do not need a paid seat.
Smartsheet Pro plan: $9 per member per month
Pro is the entry-level paid plan. It costs $9 per member per month when billed annually, or $12 per member per month when billed monthly. It supports 1 to 10 members. Unlimited contributors can be added at no extra cost.
Pro includes unlimited sheets, plus Gantt, board, and calendar views. It includes forms, dashboards, and basic automation. Attachment storage is 20 GB. Automation runs are capped at 250 per month, which is enough for a small team but can run out on busy accounts.
Pro suits one person or a very small team tracking projects in spreadsheets. The 10-member cap is the main limit. If your team grows past 10 members, you must move to Business. That jump more than doubles the per-member price, so plan for it.
Pro is only available to new customers. Existing customers on older plans may see different options. Check your own account page if you already use Smartsheet.
Smartsheet Business plan: $19 per member per month
Business costs $19 per member per month when billed annually, or $24 per member per month when billed monthly. It needs at least 3 members. There is no published upper limit on member numbers.
Business includes everything in Pro, plus more. It adds WorkApps, which turn sheets into simple apps for other teams. It adds Data Shuttle, which moves data in and out of Smartsheet on a schedule. It adds reports, workload views, and approval workflows.
Storage rises to 1 TB of attachments. Automation becomes unlimited. Unlimited guests can also be added for free, which matters when outside clients or contractors need access.
Business is the plan most teams land on. It fits teams that manage several projects at once. It also fits teams that need reports across projects, or that share work with people outside the company.
Smartsheet Enterprise and Advanced Work Management
Enterprise has no published price. You must contact Smartsheet sales for a quote. It needs at least 10 members. It includes everything in Business, plus advanced administration and security controls.
Enterprise adds single sign-on (SSO) and deeper admin tools. It adds unlimited attachment storage. It also adds portfolio management and scenario planning features for larger organisations.
Advanced Work Management is a higher tier above Enterprise. It is also custom-priced. It targets enterprise programme offices and very large operations. It adds resource management, Control Center, and other governance tools.
Neither Enterprise nor Advanced Work Management lists a price, so budget planning needs a sales conversation. Ask for a written quote that covers onboarding and support fees, not just the per-member rate.
How Smartsheet charging works: members, contributors, and guests
Smartsheet now uses a user subscription model. Only paid members can create and edit sheets. Contributors can view what is shared with them, comment, add attachments, fill in forms, and answer update requests. They do not need a paid seat.
On Business and above, guests are also free. Guests are people outside your organisation who need access to specific items. This keeps costs down when you work with clients or contractors.
The free plan is no longer available to new signups. Smartsheet closed it to new users in August 2024. Existing free users were grandfathered, but new users start with the 30-day trial instead.
Count your members before you buy. Only count people who need to create or edit sheets. Viewers, contributors, and guests do not add to the bill.
Hidden costs and things to check before you pay
Smartsheet pricing has changed before, and long-time customers have reported large increases under newer pricing. Here are the costs that catch buyers out.
- The Pro to Business jump. Moving from Pro to Business raises the per-member price from $9 to $19. That is more than double. Check which features force the upgrade before you commit.
- Add-ons. Some features, such as premium connectors and advanced resource tools, cost extra. Ask sales which add-ons your plan needs.
- Monthly versus annual billing. Monthly billing costs $12 instead of $9 on Pro, and $24 instead of $19 on Business. That is a real premium for flexibility.
- Taxes and currency. Prices are shown in US dollars. Smartsheet also lists prices in other currencies, and the amounts differ by region.
- Promotions. Smartsheet sometimes runs discounts for new customers. Introductory prices rise to list price when the promotion ends, so budget on the list price.
Ask for the total yearly cost in writing. Include the member count, the billing cycle, and any add-ons. That figure is the one to compare against other tools.
Which Smartsheet plan should you choose?
Use this checklist to pick a plan.
- Choose Pro if you work alone or in a team of up to 10 people, and you only need core sheets, views, and light automation.
- Choose Business if you run several projects, need reports and workload views, share work with outside guests, or need unlimited automation.
- Choose Enterprise if you need SSO, advanced admin controls, or portfolio management across many teams.
- Choose Advanced Work Management if you run a large programme office and need resource management and governance at scale.
If your team sits near the Pro cap of 10 members, start on Business. The upgrade is forced anyway once you pass 10 members. Starting on Business avoids a mid-year migration and a surprise price jump.
Also try the 30-day free trial first. Build a real project in it, not a demo sheet. That test shows whether the sheet model fits your work before you pay.
Smartsheet pricing: the bottom line
Smartsheet costs $9 per member per month on Pro and $19 on Business, billed annually. Enterprise and Advanced Work Management are custom-quoted. There is no free plan for new signups, but a 30-day trial is available.
Pro suits small teams with simple needs. Business suits most real teams, thanks to reports, guests, and unlimited automation. Enterprise suits large organisations that need security and governance controls.
The real cost driver is the member count and the Pro-to-Business jump. Count only the people who create and edit sheets. Check the pricing page before you pay, because Smartsheet changes its prices and plan limits over time.
