The category's chart of price against score: https://toolgpa.com/charts/spreadsheets ## Keep it, or make your own? **Keep it.** To replace Retable 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: 36 of the 63 other spreadsheet and database tools grade higher. It costs $144 a year. - You could make: Forms and kanban boards: an app builder makes these 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: Databases with views, filters and links between them. - You could not: It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
