SheetAI vs XcelAI

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.

XcelAI is an AI-powered Microsoft Excel add-in for creating formulas, transforming tables, cleaning data, generating charts, and analyzing spreadsheets through natural-language requests. In the Formula Assistant, users describe a need in plain English; XcelAI writes an Excel formula and inserts it into the sheet. Analyze & Clean can answer questions about data, highlight patterns, find duplicates, correct formatting issues, and provide insights. Smart Charts analyzes data structure and creates a chart with summarized data, while One-Click Reports produces executive reports with metrics, salesperson rankings, regional analysis, and data-quality checks. Forecasting creates monthly projections, growth rates, and confidence levels in a new forecast sheet; these three capabilities are Pro features. XcelAI runs on the web as an Excel add-in installed through Excel Online’s add-ins menu. Free includes 200 requests monthly, a 50-row limit, and five Pro-feature trials. Pro costs $9 a month or $89 a year.
