In their own words
Rows
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.
