Pros & Cons

Smartsheet AI

  • AI features (formulas, summaries, data analysis) included across all plans rather than gated behind premium tiers
  • Business tier removes the user cap and provides unlimited attachment storage
  • Real-world spending benchmarks (SMB ~$21,164/year, Enterprise ~$144,965/year) provide useful budget context
  • January 2025 private buyout ($8.4B) introduces some uncertainty around future pricing and strategic direction
  • Real enterprise spending (~$144,965/year average) is significantly higher than the advertised per-user rate suggests
  • Advanced automation and integrations require the pricier Business tier over Pro

ChatGPT

  • Largest user base and ecosystem of any AI assistant, with the most third-party integrations
  • Genuinely broad capability across writing, coding, research, and file analysis
  • Custom GPTs allow tailoring the assistant to specific repeated tasks
  • Frequent model updates keep it competitive on raw capability
  • Free tier has usage limits and access to a lower-tier model than paid plans
  • Can produce confident-sounding but incorrect information, especially without browsing enabled
  • Breadth can mean less depth than a tool purpose-built for one specific workflow
  • Data usage and training policies require attention for sensitive or regulated work
