The Verdict
Height is built for engineering teams and product teams, with a focus on ai-agents and cross-project-views. Smartsheet targets enterprise and project managers and leads with sheets and gantt-charts.
Both tools come in at similar price points ($8.5/mo for Height, $9/mo for Smartsheet), so pricing won't make the decision for you.
Both offer free plans, so you can test each with your real workflow before committing to a subscription.
This is a genuinely close comparison. If you can, sign up for both free trials (where available) and run a one-week test with your actual team tasks before deciding.
