Wisegrid

What is Wisegrid?

Wisegrid is a spreadsheet-based work management tool that positions itself as "the spreadsheet that runs the work." It combines a familiar grid interface with application-layer features such as dashboards, reports, Gantt views, forms, automations, and AI-powered formulas. The product is designed for teams that already track work in spreadsheets and want to add reporting and workflow capabilities without leaving the grid.

How Wisegrid works

Wisegrid is built around a grid where teams edit rows directly. Dashboards, rollups, and status reports are generated from those rows, so tracking work and reporting on it become the same activity. The platform supports cross-sheet references, row hierarchies, and multiple column types. Collaboration is save-based with row-version conflict detection, and permissions are private by default, allowing sharing by person, group, or domain.

Main features

• The grid: Supports up to 1,000,000 cells per sheet, 40,000 rows per sheet, and 600 columns per sheet, with unlimited sheets. Includes row hierarchies, per-user collapse, and nine column types.
• Cross-sheet references: Inline references like =[Sheet2]!A1 bind on save, with up to 500 cross-sheet references per sheet.
• Dashboards: Live KPI tiles and charts (bar, line, area, donut, gauge, funnel) that resolve through the viewer's own access permissions.
• Reports: Real-time grouping and summarization across sheets with sum, count, avg, min, and max.
• Gantt view: Timeline view with drag-to-resize, dependency arrows, zoom levels, working-day calendars, and critical-path highlighting.
• Forms: Multi-page forms with conditional logic, save-and-resume, custom branding, and submissions that land as rows.
• Automations: Visual workflows on row, date, and new-row triggers, with multi-step approvals and no monthly run cap.
• Blueprints: Save projects as reusable, versioned templates that can be provisioned as governed copies.
• AI in formulas: Functions like =CLASSIFY, =EXTRACT, =SUMMARIZE, and freeform =AI() operate directly in cells.
• AI Consultant: Describes and builds processes from existing workspace data, with guided or autopilot modes.
• Connections: Outbound webhooks with HMAC signing and SSRF guards.
• Permissions: SSO and MFA included, with sharing by person, group, or domain.

Pricing

Wisegrid offers a single plan at $19 per editor per month. Every feature is included, with no higher tiers. View-only collaborators are always free. The plan includes a $5 monthly AI credit, metered to the cent with a hard ceiling. A 7-day free trial is available with no credit card required. Support is provided directly by the founder via email.

Common use cases

Wisegrid is suited for teams that track projects, campaigns, or operational work in spreadsheets and need dashboards, reports, and automated workflows. It supports project management with Gantt views, form-based intake, approval workflows, and portfolio rollups across up to 200 projects. The AI formulas can be used for classifying feedback, extracting fields from text, and summarizing threads.

Limitations

• The pricing page lists a single plan; no enterprise or custom pricing tiers are mentioned.
• AI usage is capped at a $5 monthly credit by default, after which AI cells stop resolving until a top-up is purchased.
• Cross-sheet references are limited to 500 per sheet.
• Reports may indicate when a run is too large rather than returning results.
• The product is relatively new, and some features may still be on the roadmap as indicated by the "What's still on the list?" section.
• Migration from other tools is offered free but is handled personally by the founder, which may affect turnaround times.

Summary

Wisegrid is a spreadsheet-centric work management platform that adds dashboards, reports, Gantt, forms, automations, and AI formulas to a familiar grid. It uses a single $19 per editor per month pricing model with free viewers and includes a free migration service. The tool is aimed at teams that want to keep their spreadsheet workflows while gaining application-layer capabilities.
