You write a prompt, point it at a column and fill it down, and each row returns AI-generated text or, on some plans, images, video or music. It can run on your own API key from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google or xAI, or on a hosted plan that needs no key. - **Category:** Spreadsheets & Databases - **Made by:** IndianAppGuy Tech - **Website:** https://www.sheetai.app - **Runs on:** Web - **Who should skip it:** Skip it if you use Excel, because it runs only inside Google Sheets. - **Facts last checked:** Nov 13, 2026 ## Pricing As of Nov 13, 2026, SheetAI App has a free plan, and paid plans start at $12 per month (Starter, no API key needed). - **Pricing model:** Free plan - **Free plan:** Install the add-on and use your own API key.

Source: https://www.sheetai.app/pricing ## Key features - **AI formula for any cell:** A SHEETAI formula takes a prompt that can reference other cells, so one formula dragged down a column runs once per row. - **Several model providers:** The setup sidebar accepts an OpenAI, Claude, Gemini or Grok key, and the hosted plans cover the same families. - **Text, images, video and music:** Besides text, the site says media is generated through Replicate models, for example product images or short video creatives. - **Bulk fills and classification:** The site describes filling hundreds or thousands of rows, and cleaning or tagging data such as company names. - **Credit packs:** One-off token packs ($29 for up to 97M tokens, up to $299 for 1B) are sold without a subscription. ## Good for - Marketers filling product descriptions or ad copy for a whole catalog - People who already work in Google Sheets and want AI there rather than in a separate chat - One-off bulk jobs paid for with a credit pack instead of a subscription ## Worth knowing - Runs only inside Google Sheets, installed from the Google Workspace Marketplace. - Licenses are per Google account; team or domain licenses are arranged by email. - On the free route you pay the model provider on top, and the pricing page estimates this at about $0.30 a month for 500 text calls on the default model. - The pricing page shows only the Starter call limit; Pro's usage cap is described as heavy daily use without a number. ## ToolGPA grades **GPA: 2.4 out of 4**, graded Nov 13, 2026. SheetAI is a Google Sheets add-on that runs AI prompts as a cell formula. The free route needs your own API key and you pay the model provider, and Starter at $12 a month caps you at 500 calls. It works only inside Google Sheets. - **Value for money: C.** Starter is $12 a month with no key needed, which is the middle of this category. The free route costs you a provider bill instead. - **Free plan and trial: B.** Free with your own OpenAI, Claude, Gemini or Grok key and no cap from SheetAI. The page puts the provider cost near $0.30 a month for 500 text calls. - **Features: C.** One AI formula for any cell, several models, bulk fills and classification. It does one job inside one app. - **Ease of use: B.** Install the add-on from the Google Workspace Marketplace and type the formula in a sheet you already use.

That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. It costs $144 a year. - You could not: A spreadsheet engine with its formulas. - You could not: An image model, which you can rent by the picture but not make. - You could not: A video model, which you can rent by the second but not make. - You could not: It plugs into other products, Google Sheets, OpenAI and Claude among them. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
