Mito adds a spreadsheet view of a dataframe and AI chat to Jupyter, writing the Python behind each edit. The free plan caps AI at 150 completions a month, Pro is $20 a user, and it only runs inside notebook environments. - **Value for money: C.** Pro is $20 a user a month, in the upper middle of what this category charges. - **Free plan and trial: B.** The Open Source plan is free with the basic spreadsheet and 150 AI completions a month. The AI cap is one you'll reach. - **Features: C.** Spreadsheet view of a dataframe, AI chat, agent and autocomplete, with your own LLM keys. It is a Jupyter extension, not a stand-alone spreadsheet. - **Ease of use: D.** You need a Jupyter Lab or JupyterHub setup and some Python to use it. No store rating on record. - **Platforms and integrations: C.** Lives inside Jupyter notebooks, with hooks for Streamlit and Dash; no apps of its own. These are ToolGPA's own grades. Graded from this listing, whose facts were read from Mito's own pages on 13 November 2026. Not based on using the product, and shorter than our full reviews. ## Where it stands among spreadsheet and database tools - Mito's GPA of 2.0 is higher than 8 of the 63 other spreadsheet and database tools we grade, and level with 8. - It stands best on free plan and trial (B, above 31 of 63) and worst on ease of use (D, above 0). - Its paid plans start at $20 a month for each person, against a middle price of $12 for the category: 32 of the 47 others that charge start lower. - On features, ease of use and platforms it scores 1.7 out of 4. 39 tools score higher and cost less. The category's chart of price against score: https://toolgpa.com/charts/spreadsheets ## Keep it, or make your own? **Keep it.** To replace Mito 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: 47 of the 63 other spreadsheet and database tools grade higher. It costs $240 a year. Mito is open source, so there is a third way: take its code and run it yourself. - You could not: A spreadsheet engine with its formulas. - You could not: An AI model, which you can rent by the request but not make. - You could not: It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team. - You could not: It plugs into other products, Jupyter, JupyterHub and Streamlit among them.
