GPTExcel vs SheetAI

GPTExcel is a conversational web app for working with Excel and Google Sheets, with connections to CSV, MySQL, and PostgreSQL. It generates, explains, and fixes spreadsheet formulas, and can clean, reshape, split, merge, or deduplicate data with a before-and-after preview. The product also lists analysis, custom functions, and workflow automation. Work Agent handles multi-step data workflows and connects to data sources; teams can reuse saved analyses and templates. The template library contains more than 299 ready-to-use templates, and the service supports 18 languages. ChatDB runs read-only queries and cannot change connected data. Database passwords are encrypted at rest and are not returned to the browser or written to logs; files, sheets, and connections stay scoped to the account and request. The Free plan offers up to 90 credits per month through daily check-ins, and use does not require a credit card. Pro costs $19.90 per month, Max costs $29.90 per month, and API access is listed for Teams Max use cases.

SheetAI is a Google Sheets add-on that runs AI formulas and media generation inside spreadsheets. It supports formula generation, table transformation, spreadsheet analysis, workflow automation, custom functions, and API access. Keys can connect OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or Replicate; Replicate enables bulk image, video, and music generation. Filling a formula down a column can turn one prompt into hundreds of output rows. Installation comes through Google Workspace Marketplace and opens inside an existing Sheet. The free BYOK tier uses your own provider key, gives unlimited SHEETAI calls and formula generation, and sends provider charges directly to you. Starter costs $12 a month and includes approximately 500 AI runs monthly. Pro costs $29 a month, while Pro Yearly costs $290 a year; both describe higher, soft-unlimited usage. Credit packs range from $29 a month to $299, paid once. Licenses follow a Google Account email. The company says it does not view or share customer data and saves only essential information.
