The category's chart of price against score: https://toolgpa.com/charts/spreadsheets ## Keep it, or make your own? **Keep it.** To replace Sheet.best you would be making a builder that other people can use without writing code. 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 $119.88 a year. - 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, Power BI and Bubble among them, and has an API. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself. - You could not: What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: roles and permissions. A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool.
