Sheet2API serves a Google Sheet or Excel Online file as a JSON API, with search, caching and an MCP server. It has no free plan, every 7-day trial needs a card, the prices are in pounds, and the API stops with errors once you hit your monthly quota. - **Value for money: D.** £29.99 a month for 5 APIs and 10,000 requests, with prices only in pounds. That is above the $29 where the dearer quarter of spreadsheet tools starts. - **Free plan and trial: D.** A 7-day trial that needs a card at checkout, and no free plan. - **Features: C.** Google Sheets and Excel Online, search and filter, caching, custom domains and private sheets on Pro. A smaller job than a spreadsheet app. - **Ease of use: C.** A web service where you connect sheets and call the API; no store rating on record. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web service for Google Sheets and Excel Online with an API, but no desktop or phone apps.

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: 56 of the 63 other spreadsheet and database tools grade higher. It costs $482.20 a year. - You could make: Forms: an app builder makes this well. - You could not: A builder that other people can use without writing code. - You could not: A spreadsheet engine with its formulas. - You could not: It plugs into other products, Google Sheets and Excel Online among them, and has an API.
