Re: Powerapps vs Smartsheet vs Quickbase

Alex,

Sadly, this happened to us and I have heard this complaint often. Quickbase gives you a steeply discounted price for a couple years, then all at once doubles or sometimes triples your price (bringing you up to retail). They know once you are using it, it is very hard to leave and I think they take advantage of that. I understand that they need to slowly bring you up to retail, but I find it quite evil the way they do it.

Besides their mobile platform being horrific, it is my biggest complaint with Quickbase.

However, as much as I am a critic, it is because I think Quickbase is overall the best product in the space, and am a huge fan of the platform. I just wish they would take care of a few of the looming issues. And the price gouge is very sad. I hope they read through these posts and try to do something about that. Either start people at a more realistic price point, or slowly increase their subscription costs. The idea that business suddenly are hit with a 100-200% increase is really tough.
