# Rows vs Quadratic

> Rows and Quadratic compete in Spreadsheets and data analysis. We show the editorial position of each and the published criteria — AI Rankings never crowns a paid “winner” and never reorders for sponsorship.

_Updated October 27, 2026 · AI Rankings (OQuark)_

## Position in the Spreadsheets and data analysis ranking

- Rows: #3
- Quadratic: #4

Position comes only from the ranking criteria (rule R1). When there's an affiliate link, it's labeled and never changes the order (R5).

## Side by side

| Criterion | Rows | Quadratic |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Ranking position | #3 | #4 |
| Free plan | Yes | Yes |
| Starting price | US$ 8/mo (per user, billed monthly) | US$ 18/mo (per user, billed annually) |
| Speaks Portuguese? | not verified | not verified |

## What we verified

### Rows — Rows (Superhuman)

Why it ranks here: Permanent free plan, public pricing from US$8 per user/month and 50+ data sources; it ranks lower because the free plan has only 5 AI tasks a month and the site doesn't detail the data-privacy policy for the AI.

### Quadratic — Quadratic

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.

## How we compare

Both are judged by the same Spreadsheets and data analysis criteria:

Accuracy and usefulness of the analysis (formulas, charts, cleanup and plain-language questions about the data), supported data sources (Excel, CSV, Google Sheets, databases), data privacy, free tier and pricing transparency.
