## Worth knowing

- Pricing starts at $24,000 a year and every plan is bought through a demo; there is no self-serve or free plan.
- Each plan limits connectors (3, 5 or unlimited), and refresh speed (6 hours, 1 hour or 15 minutes) rises with the tier.
- AI use beyond the included monthly spend is billed by usage.
- Browser-based only; no desktop or mobile apps are listed.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 1.6 out of 4**, graded Nov 12, 2026. Equals is a spreadsheet wired to live systems like NetSuite, Salesforce and Snowflake, with dashboards and an AI agent on top. Plans start at $24,000 a year, are sold only through a demo, and cap how many sources you connect and how often they refresh.

- **Value for money: F.** $24,000 a year for the smallest plan, which is $2,000 a month. Spreadsheet tools sit around $12 a month in the middle, and five people would pay about $400 each a month here.
- **Free plan and trial: D.** A trial is always offered, but its length is set per customer and you arrange it through a demo. There is no free plan.
- **Features: C.** Live data in a grid, dashboards, an AI agent and write-back. Each plan caps connectors at 3, 5 or unlimited, and refresh speed rises with the tier, which is a gap.
- **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record. You connect your systems and build the reports yourself, so there is setup.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web only, with links to NetSuite, QuickBooks, Xero, HubSpot, Salesforce, Snowflake and BigQuery. No desktop or phone app is listed.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace Equals you would be making a spreadsheet engine with its formulas. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 40 of the 42 other spreadsheet and database tools grade higher. It costs $24,000 a year.

- You could make: Reports: an app builder makes this well.
- You could not: A spreadsheet engine with its formulas.
- You could not: Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- You could not: Connections that pull numbers from dozens of other services.
- You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
