A Zite alternative that works with the spreadsheet you already have

Zite is an AI builder for business software that prices per organization rather than per seat. Its documentation steers builders to start in Zite Database, its own Postgres database, and to import their data there. Teams compare alternatives when they want an app on the spreadsheet they already run, when they want to build from their own coding agent without moving to Zite’s Business plan, or when they need scheduled jobs on a smaller plan.

Connect the Google Sheet your team maintains and GoodTaco builds the app around it. The app reads and writes the sheet live, so people who prefer the spreadsheet keep working in it and nothing has to be imported first. Airtable, Jira, Smartsheet, Zendesk, and Zoho CRM connect as live sources too.

Starting without a spreadsheet? GoodTaco can create a built-in database for the app instead: one database of up to 100 records on Free, three of up to 1,000 records each on Hobby, and twenty of up to 25,000 records each on Pro.

A new app’s first build runs on GoodTaco’s servers, so you can leave the page and we email you when the first version is ready. Zite’s documentation notes that an Auto mode build can stop when the browser tab closes.

Zite is the stronger fit when you want an internal app, a client portal, and intake forms running on one shared database, with linked records, lookups, rollups, formulas, and AI fields, and imports of up to 250,000 records at once. It also lists 54 integrations and built-in workflow steps for email, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Twilio, and PDFs with e-signature.

Zite includes unlimited builders and logged-in app users on every plan, and its security page lists SOC 2 Type II, SAML SSO, and Enterprise audit logs. GoodTaco’s SOC 2 audit is in progress, and its Free and Hobby plans include one user. If those needs come first, Zite is likely the better fit.
