What customers say
“This is a game-changer for our agency in terms of enhancing our clients' experience without complicating our backend support, as the clients can simply update spreadsheet information in real time. Once it's set up and optimized, it's pretty much plug and play. If you want dynamic content displayed in a very digestible, beautifully presented format, Shareables will be a great tool for you.

Byron
Aranka Media
“For product showcases and micro-directories, Shareables feels like a perfect starter replacement for Softr, Glide, and CommonNinja — especially when embeds and flexibility matter. Setup was fast. I connected my data, picked a layout, and published in minutes. Embeds worked exactly how I needed. Audio players, videos, and custom elements felt native inside the listings, not bolted on. Simple tool. Fast results. Exactly what I needed.”
Prashant
Mahakatha
“Shareables is exactly what I was looking for to quickly build and share curated directories. The interface is incredibly clean, and the setup process is fast and intuitive. I looked into heavier directory tools like Brilliant Directories and also considered building custom frontends connected to Airtable. Those solutions felt too bulky, expensive, and time-consuming. Shareables strikes the perfect balance between simplicity and functionality.”
