Key features
Sheetson
- One endpoint per sheet
- The sheet name goes in the path and the spreadsheet ID in a header, and rows come back as JSON objects rather than cell ranges.
- Standard HTTP verbs
- GET reads rows, POST appends them, PATCH updates and DELETE removes them, authenticated with a bearer token per sheet.
- Private sheets
- The sheet is shared with a Sheetson address as an editor, so public sharing is never required, and keys can be rotated or revoked.
- Basic and advanced queries
- Basic queries paginate requests, and advanced queries filter data with multiple operations. Both are listed under the Professional plan.
- Unmetered requests
- Sheetson does not cap request counts on either plan, though Google Sheets API quotas still apply.
- No data storage
- Sheetson says it proxies between the Google Sheets API and your app and does not store your data on its servers.
Sheety
- RESTful JSON API
- Data goes in and out of a spreadsheet through simple HTTP requests and URLs, which works with anything that can reach the internet.
- Read, write, edit and delete
- Every plan, including the free one, allows all four operations on a connected sheet, with unlimited projects.
- Prebuilt templates
- A library of templates offers code that can be downloaded and customized to start a project faster.
- Spreadsheet as a CMS
- The site suggests using a sheet to populate client website content such as headings or opening times.

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
