Quadratic vs Rows

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.

Rows is a spreadsheet platform for analyzing data, building reports, and connecting information from other tools. Its AI can extract data from documents, create reports, merge datasets, and perform advanced analysis; users can describe a task rather than work through formulas and menus. Rows connects to social media, data warehouses, advertising and back-office platforms, and other sources. RowsX imports tables from thousands of websites, while connected data can refresh automatically from every minute to every month. A spreadsheet can combine live data from more than 50 sources. Reports and interactive dashboards can be shared on any device and embedded elsewhere, and teams can collaborate in real time. The free plan is free forever and does not require a trial period or credit card. It includes five AI tasks per month, manual imports, ten integration accounts, up to three guests, a 1 MB file import size, and 500 API calls per month. Paid pricing starts at $6/user/mo (annual); applicable sales tax or VAT is extra. The listed platform is API.
