What it is
Sourcetable is a spreadsheet-focused service for generating formulas, transforming tables, analyzing spreadsheet data and automating workflows. It also provides API access. The listing identifies multiple platforms and API as a platform, without narrowing the service to one device type. Sourcetable uses a freemium model with a free plan. Pro costs $29 a month for 2,000 credits. Max costs $100 a month for 6,000 credits and describes usage as unlimited subject to Abuse Guardrails. Separate extra-credit options are listed: Extra Credits Pro has 2,500 credits at a 33% discount with no price shown, while Extra Credits Max has 3,333 credits at a 25% discount for $0.02 a month. These credit allowances and plan terms are central to choosing an option.
