ExcelGPT vs Quadratic

ExcelGPT turns plain-language spreadsheet questions into formulas, charts, cleaned data, templates, and analysis workflows. Its formula generator supports more than 400 functions across Excel, Google Sheets, WPS, and LibreOffice Calc. Users can upload spreadsheets and chat across multiple files and sheets to clean, merge, or query data, while Work Agent runs multi-step workflows across files. ChatDB connects to MySQL, PostgreSQL, Supabase, and SQL Server, restricting database work to read-only SELECT queries through a query guard and read-only transaction. Imports include Excel, CSV, ODS, PDF, PNG, and JPG files, with XLSX as an export format. Google Sheets connection is optional and uses per-file OAuth permission; ExcelGPT says it cannot browse or read other Google Drive files. ChatGPT with GPT-4o/GPT-5 is available, alongside Claude, Gemini, and OpenAI workflows. The free plan offers up to 90 credits per month through daily check-in. Pro costs $19.90 a month, and Max costs $29.90 a month. ChatGPT-powered features need a live connection, though the last response is cached for offline reading.

Quadratic is an AI-enabled spreadsheet that combines spreadsheet formulas with Python, SQL, JavaScript, live data connections and AI. Users can ask questions in plain English, then inspect and edit the formulas, code and charts AI generates in spreadsheet cells. It imports CSV, Excel, Parquet, PDF and Google Sheets files, and connects to sources including PostgreSQL, Snowflake, BigQuery, QuickBooks, Google Analytics, Mixpanel, Plaid and Salesforce. Quadratic says a sheet can hold 100 million rows and can import multi-GB CSV and Parquet files. Its MCP server lets compatible AI tools read sheets, write cells and charts, and run Python, SQL and formulas; an API can trigger AI runs and read or write cells. Quadratic says data is stored and calculations run on the user's computer by default, and that its cloud service is SOC 2 and HIPAA compliant. Desktop apps are available for macOS and Windows, with a mobile UI for phones. Personal is free with limits; Pro costs $18.00 per month, billed annually.
