Price of QuickBase Basic Plan: $249/month…….knowing how to build the perfect application…….Priceless!
As a Customer Advocate here at QuickBase I talk to new users
every day who all share a common goal: Make QuickBase right for me! Teaching new users how to build and customize applications can be challenging because every user and business process is different. Here are a few tips that I would give to anyone looking to
get started with QuickBase:
- Learn how to manage
your QuickBase account. Now that you’ve signed up for QuickBase you need to
have an understanding of how to manage the account and keep track of users, space,
and billing information.
- Familiarize yourself with the online resources.
We invest heavily in developing documentation, tutorials, webinars, and other
resources to help you learn QuickBase. Check out the community forum and ask other
experienced users for their advice or learn by watching with video tutorials.
- Contact
support. Don’t be afraid to submit a support case. There are actually
real live people here at QuickBase assigned to help you.
- Learn
by example. We have a wide range of applications that are ready to go right
out of the box. If you’re not sure how to get started take a look at these
applications. There’s no harm in making a copy for yourself and customizing it.
This is a great way to learn…and if you mess up, no biggie just create a new
one!
- Contact a Solution provider. If you
need QuickBase to sync up with other systems, have an extremely complex
process, or just don’t have time to build a QuickBase application, consider
working with one of our certified solution providers. This is a network of professional developers who can provide you
with that one- on-one support that you need to ramp up quickly or even build
the application for you if that’s what you’d prefer.
So now it’s your turn to share your tips with us. For those
of you who would consider your application a success, what helped you get
started? What challenges did you face? How did you learn? What else do you think
the QuickBase team could do to make the “getting started” experience easier?

The problem is, for small businesses, the monthly price is too high…

I also think the price is too high. For a long time, Quickbase had a corner on the market for this kind of on-demand application platform, but there are new vendors with “good enough” capabilities that have starting prices around at $50 for five users with 5-10x more storage space.
I’d love to see you come down to the same pricing as these new players and increase the storage as well. I’d stop looking at the good-enough players and go with the best.
