How to choose spreadsheets tools
Start with where your data already lives. SheetAI and Numerous.ai add AI to an existing spreadsheet: SheetAI is a Google Sheets add-on, while Numerous.ai works in both Google Sheets and Excel through an =AI cell function. Rows and Equals are spreadsheets in their own right, so choosing one means working in a new tool. Smartsheet is broader, a work management platform for projects, portfolios and workflows.
Next, match the tool to the job. Equals targets revenue, sales and retention metrics with a managed warehouse, while Rows focuses on importing, analyzing and sharing team data. SheetAI also covers bulk image, video and music generation.
Then check the price. Listed starting prices run from $6/mo for Rows to $2,000/mo for Equals. Rows and SheetAI are freemium, and the other three offer free trials.
Finally, check integrations if your sheet needs to connect to other systems. Smartsheet and Rows list an API, and Smartsheet and Equals both list Slack.
