Pros The best thing about Stacker is being able to create an app without code where I can customize it as I want. The easy way in which I integrate all the data and results in an app is fantastic because the processes that took me days to do are now much easier, its ease of use allows our team to interact with Stacker in a simple way by keeping track of it. to the different projects that are being executed in the app Cons There is nothing in which he is dissatisfied, he has what is necessary to be able to meet the needs that we had internally in the company Review Source RD Robb D. Founder Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Good, not great. Softr is kicking their butts." August 11, 2022 4.0 It's been a good experience overall. The software has given me abase product, and that is worth a lot! And I have had good experience with support. It didn't start off great, but their support has improved significantly. It's limitations are significant, but the core functionality has given me what I needed the most. Pros I have been able to create a solid MVP that supports our business. Cons Starting out and needing support, all of their materials are outdated. They were not communicating with their users. Their support was very slow. In recent weeks they have seemed to come to life with a little more activity, some new feature releases, but they seem to be lagging compared to their competitors. Alternatives considered [Softr](https://www.capterra.com/p/232331/Softr/) Reason for choosing Stacker I actually chose both. I am evaluating both. Softr is better in so many ways. But there are a few key areas where Stacker wins for me. I expect to continue to use both for different purposes, at least for the next quarter or so. Review Source SG Stephanie G. Data and Product Manager Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Stacker has a lot, but not set up easily" October 4, 2024 3.0 The team has been responsive. However, after building we had to switch providers. Pros It has a lot of functionality and is usable. Cons It was hard to make things work as expected, cumbersome, even though there are a lot of features not flexible enough for our needs. Alternatives considered [Softr](https://www.capterra.com/p/232331/Softr/) Reason for choosing Stacker Seemed like it would be easier and we did release with it initially, but have since switched to Noloco. Switched from [Bubble](https://www.capterra.com/p/171359/Bubble/) We wanted something easier to use and set up. Review Source RM Ryan M. Founder Media Production Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Good tool if you need specific feature sets and are okay with limited styling" August 2, 2022 4.0 We chose Stacker because at the time it was the best option of what was available. It has some nice features and what they have is well executed, I just feel that it's expensive for what it is as a small team tool. If we were a large organization the cost would be trivial, but we only use it for our small team, not the whole company. However, while they are developing the platform, we are waiting for Airtable's Interfaces platform to catch up for us to switch. The release of new features by Stacker is pretty slow compared to Airtable's releases; so we aren't committing to an annual plan and instead doing month to month so we can jump to Airtable which we already pay for and it is a better value. Pros It got our concept up and running pretty quickly and the logins of users is simple. I do like that they're adding in new data sources, which has potential in the future. Cons The cost of their tiers and features is very high for what you get, a lot of what seems like should be part of a basic set of features for any paid plan, you need to go to the highest level plan. Alternatives considered [Airtable](https://www.capterra.com/p/146652/Airtable/)[Softr](https://www.capterra.com/p/232331/Softr/) Reason for choosing Stacker At the time it had a feature set that aligned better with our use case, the UI looked a bit nicer too. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Director Management Consulting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Finally, UI for Airtable" May 21, 2020 5.0 It has allowed us to give controlled access to our Airtable database to the outside world. Pros Stacker is a brilliant platform to transform your existing Airtable database into a portal which can be accessed by internal or 3rd party users. We love the platform because it allows us to get 3rd party access to a very limited part of our database. Also, it helps us cut costs on Airtable licences since our internal staff can use it too. Cons First of all the UI -albeit very clean, needs a few advanced functions like custom action buttons, multi-layered navigation etc. But the stacker team seems to be very active in releasing new features fairly often, so hopefully these features are on the horizon. Also, it's not the cheapest thing to run -at 300usd per month for per each multi-role portal. Alternatives considered [Glide](https://www.capterra.com/p/196046/Glide/)[AppSheet](https://www.capterra.com/p/149367/AppSheet/) Reason for choosing Stacker We love Airtable - and stacker was pretty much the only real option for us to achieve the goal of allowing other people access our database in a secure, controlled fashion.

Principal Product Marketing Manager Telecommunications Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Stacker: A Comprehensive, Easy to Use Tool" January 24, 2023 5.0 Overall, Stacker is an excellent tool for managing projects and tasks. The user interface is intuitive and easy to use, and the various features help to make organizing and tracking progress a breeze. Pros Stacker is a great tool for managing complex tasks and projects. It is very intuitive and user-friendly, and makes organizing tasks and tracking progress easy. The user interface is clean and modern, and the various features are easily accessible. Cons Stacker does have some limitations, especially with regards to collaboration. It does not offer a real-time chat or collaboration feature, which can be a hindrance when working with multiple people on the same project. Switched from [Zapier](https://www.capterra.com/p/130182/Zapier/) Stacker offers superior features over its alternatives, such as the ability to track multiple projects in one place, and the ability to easily collaborate with other users on projects. It also offers great customization options, allowing users to tailor the interface to their specific needs. Review Source MO Mike O. Head of Digital Oil & Energy Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Build your own custom portal in an hour. Amazing value, product & organization" November 19, 2020 5.0 Stacker has been a major succes story for us so far. We ran a very unsuccesful software project to create a custom portal that already was 6 months late and a lot of money over budget with no working product in sight. Within a month we redesigned a more feature rich portal that's more a lightweight ERP then a read-only site with a lot of custom features and an amazing UX for a small price. I absolutely love Stacker and I'm a strong believer of their team and leadership. Their innovation speed is impressive and I'm very curious on where they stand in a year time. Signed, One happy customer Pros \- Ease of use - Low price - Brandable - Feature rich - Innovation speed - Customer support - Listening to users Cons \- It's hard to keep up with my rising expectations but they are pulling it off. What's lacking are more advanced custom features like scheduling but overall they really are in a great space. Alternatives considered [Airtable](https://www.capterra.com/p/146652/Airtable/) Reason for choosing Stacker Highly customizable, brandable, better UX, more control over usage & rights, better adoption by users Review Source AD Alyssa D. Founder Real Estate Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Stellar company with lots of growth planned " December 3, 2020 5.0 This software has completely changed our daily operations. Support is always helpful when we need it. I can’t rave about it enough. Pros This product allows us to build systems for our team and our clients, rather than forcing our clients to adjust their expectations to what traditional software allows. Cons There are some key features and functionality missing but these doesn’t concern me, as the stacker team is constantly gathering feedback and rolling out new features. Alternatives considered [Yardi Breeze](https://www.capterra.com/p/164741/Yardi-Breeze/)[Buildium](https://www.capterra.com/p/47428/Buildium-Property-Management-Software/) Reason for choosing Stacker We were excited about the customer experience we could build and the operational efficiency. Switched from [AppFolio Property Manager](https://www.capterra.com/p/92228/AppFolio-Property-Manager/) Stacker allowed us to outline exactly what our clients need, and deliver that. No other option gave that capability. Review Source Younes B.

It really helped my clients dropped the need to outsource the development, managed to validating the ideas fast and even upskill their workforce. Pros The ability to import the data from several sources. And the automation. Cons The fact that you can't launch what you have built without subscribing to one of their paid plans Alternatives considered [Bubble](https://www.capterra.com/p/171359/Bubble/) Reason for choosing Stacker Features, and clients demand Switched from [Glide](https://www.capterra.com/p/196046/Glide/) Clients projects.

October 8, 2021 5.0 I love Stacker, and I have been recommending it to the other players in India's CBC scene. The aesthetics, UX, ease of use, and speed with which you can launch portals is breathtaking. Pros We launched a student portal using Stacker in a week and it has more than 1000 returning users at this point in time. I love the aesthetics of the app. It doesn't feel like a compromise when you are rolling out the app for users. I love the thought put into the app to make it more accessible. Cons Pricing is way too high, even though it's justified for its ease of use and speed. I hope the open sign-up feature becomes available faster. Bulk share link exports could be helpful too. Reason for choosing Stacker Ease of use, easy to teach to the rest of the team members. Review Source JG Jason G. General Partner Venture Capital & Private Equity Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Finally a portal solution for Airtable" July 20, 2020 5.0 Amazing. We have numerous bespoke dashboards and a growing list of user roles we couldn't have implemented without Stacker. Pros We are heavy, heavy users of airtable with a large group of stakeholders that need access to the data contained in our airtables. Stacker finally provides a solution that allows us to share data without over or under sharing and having to structure workarounds to airtables limited permissioning. We have now finally been able to roll out several solutions that we couldn't have previously done without Stacker. Cons Nothing so far. They move fast in development and are constantly rolling out new features. Review Source MA Max A. CEO Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Key part of our no code stack" November 20, 2020 5.0 We started using them early on - almost a year ago - and have had no major issues. Support has been wonderful when we needed help. Pros Stacker solves such a huge need for us. We've been able to create a client-facing portal for our users without writing a line of code. Cons There are still a number of features that I'm looking forward to, but they've implemented a transparent process of user feedback. I'm able to upvote features that I'd like to see added. Review Source CM Charles M. Operations Manager Events Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great Data to UI " November 24, 2020 5.0 Stacker allowed me to take my various airtable bases and turn them into products. Pros Ease of use. It was very simple to connect to my airtable base and begin creating. Giving users a login is also a great component. Cons There are tutorial/instructional guides, but they are hard to find. They don't exist natively in a help section that you can see from your setup home. There also isn't any good youtube videos explaining things. This would help customer adoption tremendously. Having videos that address various use cases and nifty solutions would be amazing. Refresh rate, manual syncing of table structure. Issues i've had with the "created by" field. Reason for choosing Stacker Ease of setup, free to setup. Review Source PG Petek G. Sales Director Wholesale Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "One's future looks bright" January 17, 2023 4.0 Its needs improvement in many ways. They could be top of the market in time with right arrangements. Pros Stacker is a good tool which involves much various features in it. Its could be very helpful and booster for your job with their serving. To simple say, güzel düşünülmüş bir yazılım well thought software Cons In my oppinion biggest cons of Stacker is pricing for now. And probably this is the biggest reason why people getting use Stacker or quit using. Review Source VD Vinny D. Operations Manager Furniture Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Does everything I need it to do!" August 4, 2022 5.0 Pros Once I became acquainted with the UI and all our sheets were integrated, it was simple to use and update. Cons Integration was difficult but easier than I thought it would be. I think it's missing important features. Review Source SA Scott A. CEO Telecommunications Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Small Business on Steroids " August 12, 2022 4.0 My overall experience is excellent. 8.5/10! (it can always be better, right?) However, I find everything from the support, the interface, communication, continuous updates all make it my favorite app to use when building solutions and portals for employees and customers. Pros As someone that loves spreadsheets, I am often alone when it comes to building, maintaining and using them. Stacker's front-end tools make building task management/workflow/data collection easy, and it never fails to impress the users. I can build an app out of a spreadsheet in a matter of minutes and it's already a better way for customers, employees and others to work together. Cons The lack of real-time updates between stacker & airtable. Next, and I'll admit I am still exploring this, but it would be nice to have more CSS/style options. Lastly, documentation is scattered and usually not very clear. I find it easier to just start playing with it, rather than reading the documentation, if there is any. Reason for choosing Stacker I still use softr.io and I use it simply for it's style/look/feel. It has more of a website feel, than a portal. Otherwise, when it comes to functionality, I choose stacker over softr.io for everything thing else. Review Source DG Dida G. Business Operations Consumer Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Stacker for the Win!" August 9, 2022 5.0 Pros We are a lighting repair and custom build company that works with sophisticated interior design firms on collectable and expensive antique lighting. With a unique service and B2B customer base, our old world business needed an update. We went from managing all the important design details and moving parts on packets of paper to Stacker and it has been a dream. Of course, it took some investment to get everything the way we want it but customers and employees have been happy with the change. Thank you Stacker team for always being available to work through things that come up. I would recommend Stacker to other businesses for sure. Cons It can take some time to load so be sure to design yours with your internet speed in mind.

Data is stored and managed by the firm in Airtable, and is shared with clients through Stacker. Stacker makes it easy for clients to sign up for an account and access their specific data. The granular permissions are very helpful for this. Stacker is constantly working on updates, has a clear public roadmap, and has been very receptive to comments, questions and feature requests. Pros Airtable is awesome at storing, managing and transforming data. It is not awesome at sharing that data on a limited basis with third parties. Not only is the standard Airtable difficult for non-Airtable users to access, it is also very difficult to limit what you share. This is why I love the permissions features of Stacker. It allows me to share EXACTLY what I want my users to see from my Airtable data. It also does this in a user-friendly way (both on the development side and the user side). Cons The pricing of the higher level tiers is a little steep. If you're starting out with relatively few users, it can be very expensive. Once you have a few hundred users, the pricing becomes more manageable. Reason for choosing Stacker Stacker was the only viable option I could find for allowing me to share my Airtable data with clients in a user-friendly way that includes appropriate access restrictions and that could be set up without hiring a developer. Review Source CP Chris P. Founder Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great tool. Would love some more core functionality." November 26, 2020 4.0 Providing a branded product to our clients. Airtable is great to quickly roll out a product but Stacker is the only way to brand that product. Pros Aside from the core "customizable web interface to airtable" (which is amazing) being able to assign roles for visibility and permissions is great. It allows us to offer a streamlined product that isn't possible directly on airtable. Our biggest feedback pain point before we switched to Stacker was that airtable was too complex - you could hide fields but they were still there to confuse users. Cons Scaling is hard. With multiple clients running our workflow on Stacker it is impossible to keep all instances current. Whenever a change/fix/upgrade is made to our workflow then all of the client instances need to be updated manually. If, for example, a new feature is make available on Stacker to customise headers in the list summary view then this needs to be applied to all views on all client instances. Some sort of templating/version control is critical to making this work properly. It would be great to have more control over the interface. Include links/embeds to non Stacker items in navigation etc. Not having rich text editor is almost a deal breaker. This means we can't offer a way to edit content within Stacker but have to bounce people away to gdocs etc. Review Source RO Raad O. Marketing Specialist Consumer Goods Used the software for: 2+ years ### "We can configure specific settings to share our database with others." April 28, 2023 4.0 Pros With Stacker, we can easily share selected data with external users while maintaining a high level of control over user permissions and data visibility. The Stacker's customization features allow us to create virtually anything we require and facilitate collaboration on our data without granting access to our database, effectively preventing unwanted modifications. Cons While I'm not experiencing significant problems with Stacker, it would be beneficial to focus on further improvements, particularly concerning synchronization with another software database. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer CEO Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "The missing piece of Airtable and other data bases" September 11, 2021 5.0 Overall an excellent piece of software but the roadmap needs to take the UI aspect to another level in terms of flexibility and quality of design. Pros The new version is excellent and provides a user access system and GUI around Airtable (and other) data sources that makes building web applications so easy. Cons Stacker is quite expensive, especially for a single app, but if you are planning to build multiple apps it's ok. The UI functionality is still limited and needs to be improved for mobile among other things. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer CEO Information Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Excellent Self Setup Database Solution for Consulting Firms" November 20, 2020 5.0 This is a fantastic product that has helped to streamline our operations both internally and externally with our clients. Pros It was extremely easy to setup a front-end website for each of our clients using this system. It enabled us to easily develop on our existing system, while customizing for each particularly client. Clients are super happy with the easy to use interface as well. Cons It is still developing (so some features haven't been launched yet), but they do a great job of letting you know a rough roadmap. Hope to see more expanded features down the road. Review Source DH Duane H. Consultant Management Consulting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "One year on stacker pro" August 8, 2022 4.0 It has been pretty solid. We experienced a lot of slowness after the upgrade from classic. I'm running out of rows in AirTable and Postgres isn't ready yet, so it looks like I will have to leave the platform. Pros The product is simple to use. Part of that is lack of features and part of that is the design. Cons The speed of development is extremely slow compared to competitors. Review Source JH Jessica H. program manager Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great front-end tool for airtable data" August 3, 2022 4.0 Stacker is a highly functional app with lots of possibilities. Their customer support is also easy to get in touch with and get quick and effective support from Pros The permissions, while sometimes confusing, are very granular and make it possible to create complex portals for your airtable data. Cons The UI elements can be somewhat confusing, and the documentation and examples of these were fairly sparse the last time I looked. Setup required a lot of trial and error. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Vice President, Innovation & Strategy Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Nice addition to Airtable" August 4, 2022 4.0 Before Airtable Interfaces, Stacker was by far the best way to put a user-friendly front end on an Airtable base. It's quite solid, and great for either quick spin-up or durable apps. It's definitely losing traction to Interfaces at our shop, though – needs more differentiation to justify the cost. Pros Stacker + Airtable is a great way to deploy simple apps internally or to clients. The two put together make data management incredibly easy, and no-code building is always a plus! Cons No-code / WYSIWYG makes interface design constrained. Pricing plans aren't friendly if apps need to be deployed at scale (say, client-facing project trackers).
