A side-by-side editorial comparison of Koofr and Smartsheet — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Koofr vs Smartsheet: at a glance
What is Koofr?
Koofr's iOS app gets a text editor, and public links get minute-level expiry.
Koofr is a privacy-focused cloud storage service working through mobile parity with its web app. The November 3 release adds a text editor to the iOS app, improves editing documents in external apps through the Files integration, lets public links expire down to the minute, and gives paid users custom link passwords. It follows October's Android sharing upgrade.
What is Smartsheet?
Smartsheet adds a Gantt view and lifts table view to 500,000-cell sheets.
Smartsheet is rebuilding its core around table view. Since late October it has added a table view report builder, support for Enterprise sheets above 500,000 cells and reports above 1,500,000 rows, and a new Gantt view with critical path and % Complete. Earlier that month it retired card view for Enterprise and limited AI to Table, Board and Timeline views.

Koofr
5.0COLLAB
Koofr's iOS app gets a text editor, and public links get minute-level expiry.
◆ Current state
Koofr is a privacy-focused cloud storage service working through mobile parity with its web app. The November 3 release adds a text editor to the iOS app, improves editing documents in external apps through the Files integration, lets public links expire down to the minute, and gives paid users custom link passwords. It follows October's Android sharing upgrade.
◆ Where it's heading
Since the iOS 4.0 rebuild in June, releases have steadily brought web features to mobile: document scanning, Android link controls, now an iOS editor. Sharing controls get tightened in the same releases, alongside an ongoing effort to recover from repeated DDoS disruptions.
◆ Prediction
Expect the text editor to reach Android and more link controls across apps, given the alternating iOS and Android parity releases.
Smartsheet
5.0COLLABPM
Smartsheet adds a Gantt view and lifts table view to 500,000-cell sheets.
◆ Current state
Smartsheet is rebuilding its core around table view. Since late October it has added a table view report builder, support for Enterprise sheets above 500,000 cells and reports above 1,500,000 rows, and a new Gantt view with critical path and % Complete. Earlier that month it retired card view for Enterprise and limited AI to Table, Board and Timeline views.
◆ Where it's heading
The pattern is consolidation onto a newer set of views: old views retire, and table, board, timeline and now Gantt pick up scale and features. The size limits point to large enterprise portfolios as the target customer.
◆ Prediction
More features will likely move into the new views and older ones retire, as card view did; which view goes next is not stated.
