- Gemini in Sheets is not in Business Starter; it starts at Business Standard, $14 per user / month on a 1-year commitment.
- A spreadsheet created in or converted to Google Sheets is capped at 20 million cells or 100 MB.
- Google's help lists Sheets for computer browsers, Android, iPhone and iPad; no Windows or Mac desktop app is listed.
