-
Smartsheet sticker shock? The reality of Smartsheet costs
With Smartsheet pricing models changing and viewer license costs going up significantly, the pattern is clear. Will your priorities remain their priorities? Will roadmap commitments survive the inevitable “optimization” process?
Why stake your enterprise strategy on a platform with an uncertain future?
Planview is a long-term strategic partner, with a consistent vision, and predictable pricing.

Spreadsheet sprawl isn’t a smart project management approach
As your business grows, Smartsheet groans. Multiple instances, tons of different “sheets” and a multiverse of confusion. You need a Smartsheet alternative that unifies any dataset size without breaking a sweat, providing the insights you need, when you need them, even with thousands of projects and users.
Planview was born ready for you to start, grow, and scale, any project, any size.

Best Smartsheet alternative for strategy
A spreadsheet in fancy clothes is still just a spreadsheet. Pretty charts don’t equal strategic insight. Smartsheet falls silent when executives ask which initiatives drive value.
Planview help you translate execution data into strategic intelligence, connecting projects to outcomes for confident decision-making.
-
Project managers need more than just counting
Ever had to explain to executives why critical projects are delayed despite having “enough resources” on paper? While basic tools leave you juggling blindfolded, Planview offers global visibility.
Smartsheet costs too much for just task handling and resource scheduling. With Planview, we handle the complexity so you can focus on strategy.
-
Smartsheet alternative with connected intelligence
Spreadsheet views are so old school. Rudimentary integrations, simple dashboards, and basic AI features leave you manually stitching together disconnected information islands, leaving you feeling lost when you should feel informed.
Planview connects your organization on a solid data foundation, using AI to go beyond automation—transforming data into strategic recommendations that drive business objectives.
