Loam vs MySheetAI

Loam stores supported files and connected business data so authorized AI tools can query it and ground answers in rows. It accepts formats including CSV, Excel, Parquet, TSV, and JSON, and connects to tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, and Cursor through an MCP-compatible setup. The service is aimed at teams without a dedicated data team, including sales and marketing groups and company founders. Queries use the connected Loam account’s current access, and table permissions are checked when each request runs. Users can limit an AI’s access to selected data, such as allowing revenue while excluding payroll. Loam says uploaded and connected data is not used to train AI models and can be deleted by users; providers such as Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic process data to generate results and do not use it to train their models. The web upload interface accepts files up to 100 MB. The free Individual plan supports one person, file uploads, grounded questions, and supported AI connections. Individual Pro costs $399 a year, with a 39 USD monthly option; Team costs $499 a year, with a two-seat minimum and a 49 USD per-seat monthly option. The terms prohibit storing protected health information, primary cardholder information, or other sensitive information.

MySheetAI lets users upload spreadsheets and ask questions about their data in plain English. It supports CSV, TSV, plain text, and Excel workbooks (.xlsx,.xlsm). Before writing an answer, it computes figures from the uploaded file and provides a calculation that users can inspect with “show the math.” Its formula generator turns plain-language requests into explained Excel or Google Sheets formulas and is free on every plan. The tool can select a chart based on the question and data; paid plans also export numbers or a working sheet. The maker describes use with exported data from services including Stripe, Shopify, QuickBooks, and Mailchimp, while other spreadsheets do not require a platform connection. The maker says files are read in the browser and raw files and rows are not stored on its servers; for analysis, its AI provider receives selected data details rather than the full spreadsheet. The web app has a free plan and a seven-day trial. Free includes five questions a month and 3 MB uploads; Pro is $12 a month, and Elite is $25 a month.
