Rowhouse vs AGrid
AGrid is a low-priced, no-code grid whose reach across objects is ahead of Rowhouse’s and whose grouping matches it. Rowhouse adds what AGrid does not document: paste, fill down, undo and import, with no seat price.
Which one, when
- You need editable views across objects with no relationship in your data model: grandchild, sibling or unrelated recordsAGrid. Its Intelligent Related Lists do this. Rowhouse shows one object per grid, with fields of related records up to five lookups away and related records in child tables under each row.
- Two people often edit the same records at onceAGrid. Its Review Before Save shows your value, theirs and the original. In Rowhouse the last save wins.
- Users paste from spreadsheets, fill down, undo, or load records from a fileRowhouse. AGrid documents no paste, no fill-down, no undo and no record import.
- Hundreds of people touch a grid a few times a monthRowhouse. At $10 an AGrid seat is cheap, but it is still a seat for each of them.
Where AGrid is the better choice
- Reach across objects. Intelligent Related Lists build virtual relationships with no lookup between the objects, reaching grandchild, sibling, hierarchical and unrelated records. Rowhouse is behind here, and not by a little.
- Collision handling. When two people edit the same field, an admin can choose Ignore, Block Save, or a Review Before Save dialog that shows both values and the original.
- Views people can share. Saved views shared with named users, roles, profiles, groups or permission sets, and an admin tab that resets anyone’s personal settings. Rowhouse keeps each user’s layout, but users cannot name a view and share it.
- More ways to see one list. Kanban, chart, card, focus and split views from the same configuration, and Experience Cloud pages with read-only guest access. Rowhouse is a table and does not run on Experience Cloud.
- A published defect list. A Known Issues page of about fifty entries, kept current to August 2026.

AGrid’s license is a per-user list price, so its cost grows with every person added. Rowhouse has no license fee at any size; what it costs is the time to run it.
Where your grids are kept
Grid configuration (16 packaged custom objects in the subscriber org; moved between orgs as a JSON file exported and imported through the product).
Seven Custom Metadata types in your org: built in a sandbox, moved in a change set, kept in source control, and never overwritten by an upgrade.
Opposite strengths
AGrid earns its seat price where relationships are complicated and editors collide: views across unrelated objects, three levels of grouping over them, and a dialog that settles two people editing one field. Rowhouse earns its place where the work is bulk and the people are many, and where nobody should need a seat to fix a dozen fields.
What AGrid does not document
A search of AGrid’s 77 documentation pages finds nothing on undo, paste or the clipboard. There is no record import; AGrid’s import moves configuration files between orgs, not records. The one documented keyboard shortcut is Ctrl+S, and its install guide asks for org-wide sharing defaults of Public Read/Write on AGrid’s own configuration objects.
Rowhouse pastes up to 10,000 cells at once, refused whole if larger, fills down with Ctrl+D, keeps 100 undo steps, and imports up to 10,000 rows from CSV or Excel with a preview and Undo import.

Rowhouse vs AGrid: questions
AGrid is $10 a user. Why look at Rowhouse?
You may not need to. AGrid’s listing publishes $10 per user per month, a $600 yearly minimum and 20% off a three-year prepayment, read on 7 October 2026. The difference is structural: its cost grows with each person added and Rowhouse’s does not, and Rowhouse edits like a spreadsheet, which AGrid’s documentation does not describe.
How many rows does AGrid load?
Its Load All setting loads 2,000 records at a time up to a documented maximum of 10,000, and its summaries and charts are documented to stop above 50,000 filtered records. Rowhouse loads 10,000 rows on open, up to 100,000 by scrolling, and publishes a benchmark at 50,000 rows with its script.
Do both group rows?
Yes, three levels deep with subtotals. AGrid offers Sum, Average, Min, Max and Record Count at each level; Rowhouse offers Sum, Average, Min, Max and Count, with a Total row and dates grouped by day up to fiscal year. On grouping the two are close.
Can AGrid and Rowhouse run in the same org?
Yes. They are separate packages. A natural split is AGrid for relationship-heavy views and portal pages, and Rowhouse for bulk editing by the many people who touch a list now and then.
Three things you can verify without asking us
Nobody should pay per seat to edit a thousand rows.
Compare it on your own data: install it beside the grid you have, and keep both until you are sure.
