Grist

The Airtable, Google Sheets and Smartsheet alternative

From $20 / month · billed monthly · cancel anytime

20 GB storage

Grist combines the familiarity of a spreadsheet with the structure of a relational database. Link records across typed tables, collect data with forms, build filtered views and charts, automate through its API, and calculate with Python formulas. This deployment is a private single-owner workspace: everyone with the gateway username and password shares the owner's Grist identity, and browser, form, and API routes all require the same Basic Auth credentials.

Frequently asked

How much does it cost to host Grist?
Hosting Grist on Zenith is $20 / month, billed monthly until you cancel.
How long does Grist take to deploy?
Most apps are live on your own subdomain in about two minutes after you deploy.
Do I need to manage a server to run Grist?
No. Zenith runs Grist for you, with no servers to provision or maintain.
Can I use my own domain with Grist?
Yes. Each deployment gets a Zenith subdomain, and you can map your own custom domain to it afterwards.
Can I manage Grist with Claude or another AI agent?
Yes. Zenith has a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server at https://zenith.hosting/mcp. Add the endpoint from Claude, Cursor or another MCP client, connect your account, and ask the agent to deploy, configure, inspect or delete your Grist deployment. The agent can read and set environment variables. Write-only secrets stay hidden; generated credentials may be returned. Deployment inspection reports live status, HTTPS reachability and summarized resource usage without exposing credentials. A paid deployment requires price approval. Deletion permanently removes the deployment and its data after separate confirmation. Setup is at https://zenith.hosting/connect.
