## Alternatives in Spreadsheets and data analysis

- #1 **Better Analyst** — Better Analyst · Has a free plan
   Why it ranks here: Accepts Excel, CSV, Google Sheets and databases such as PostgreSQL, Snowflake and BigQuery, states it does not train AI on your data, has a free plan and public pricing from US$20/month; the free plan's limits aren't detailed on the page.
   Official site: https://betteranalyst.com/

- #2 **Hex** — Hex · Has a free plan
   Why it ranks here: Robust analysis with AI agents, connections to databases and data warehouses, a free Community plan and a statement that it doesn't train AI on your data; it ranks lower because it targets data teams and costs US$36 per editor/month.
   Official site: https://hex.tech/

- #4 **Quadratic** — Quadratic · Has a free plan
   Why it ranks here: Analysis with formulas, Python and SQL that you can check cell by cell, import of CSV, Excel, PDF and Google Sheets, connections to databases such as Postgres, Snowflake and BigQuery and zero data retention at AI providers; it ranks behind because published prices are annual-billing only and the site doesn't detail the free plan's limits.

- #5 **Autosheet** — Talarian · No free plan
   Why it ranks here: Covers formulas, cleaning and analysis well inside Excel and Google Sheets, with multiple AI models and ISO 27001 certification; it ranks lower because it has no permanent free plan (only trial credits) and each plan covers only one of the two apps.
   Official site: https://autosheet.com/

- #6 **Coefficient** — Coefficient · Has a free plan
   Why it ranks here: 150+ integrations, a free plan and a statement that connector-imported data isn't stored on its servers; it ranks lower because its focus is data connection, paid plans start at US$49/month and sources such as Snowflake and BigQuery require the Enterprise plan.
   Official site: https://coefficient.io/

- #7 **SheetAI** — IndianAppGuy Tech · Has a free plan
   Why it ranks here: Permanent free plan using your own API key and a published monthly price from US$12; it ranks last because it works only in Google Sheets, doesn't mention chart creation or database connections and has a thinly detailed privacy policy on the site.
