AI-first spreadsheet with live data integrations and a plain-language AI Analyst.


AI-first spreadsheet with live data integrations and a plain-language AI Analyst. Rows is a modern web spreadsheet that pitches itself as your new AI Data Analyst: a grid where you can extract data from PDFs, import business data from the tools you already use, and analyze it with plain-language AI instead of SQL queries or BI dashboards.
Rows earns its rating as the AI-first connected spreadsheet: live integrations with dozens of business tools, a plain-language AI Analyst, a free plan, and paid plans from $6 per user per month billed annually. It trails incumbents on modeling depth and ecosystem size.
Rows is a modern web spreadsheet that pitches itself as your new AI Data Analyst: a grid where you can extract data from PDFs, import business data from the tools you already use, and analyze it with plain-language AI instead of SQL queries or BI dashboards. The grid itself covers the fundamentals – formulas, charts, pivot tables, sharing and collaboration – so it works as a daily spreadsheet, not just a demo. The company, founded in 2016 with offices in Porto and Berlin, has joined Superhuman, a fact the site discloses in a banner on every page, and the product continues as a standalone spreadsheet with a generous free plan.
The differentiator is data connectivity. Rows’ integrations catalog spans marketing, finance, CRM and database sources – Notion, Google Analytics 4, Google Ads, LinkedIn Ads, Facebook Ads, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Google Search Console and more – pulling live data straight into
Rows is a modern web spreadsheet that pitches itself as your new AI Data Analyst: a grid where you can extract data from PDFs, import business data from the tools you already use, and analyze it with plain-language AI instead of SQL queries or BI dashboards. The grid itself covers the fundamentals – formulas, charts, pivot tables, sharing and collaboration – so it works as a daily spreadsheet, not just a demo. The company, founded in 2016 with offices in Porto and Berlin, has joined Superhuman, a fact the site discloses in a banner on every page, and the product continues as a standalone spreadsheet with a generous free plan.
The differentiator is data connectivity. Rows’ integrations catalog spans marketing, finance, CRM and database sources – Notion, Google Analytics 4, Google Ads, LinkedIn Ads, Facebook Ads, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Google Search Console and more – pulling live data straight into cells. On top of that sits the AI Analyst, which answers questions about your tables, adds columns, builds pivot tables and creates charts from plain-language requests. A developer API at developers.rows.com supports custom workflows, and rows.com/docs hosts the support documentation. Guests can be invited to shared spreadsheets, with guest limits scaling from 3 on Free up to 200 on Pro.
Pricing, verified on the official pricing page: a Free plan at $0 with unlimited spreadsheets, 5 AI tasks per month and 10 integration accounts; Plus at $8 per user per month billed monthly ($6 per user per month billed annually) with 200 AI tasks; Pro at $79 per month plus $8 per user ($59 plus $6 per user on annual billing) with 1,000 AI tasks and faster automation; and a custom Enterprise tier with advanced API endpoints, SAML SSO and a dedicated CS manager. Annual billing saves around 20%.
Where it falls short: AI tasks are metered on every plan, so heavy AI use pushes you up the ladder quickly; the deepest modeling features of Excel or Google Sheets – and their giant template and add-on ecosystems – are not all here; support on lower tiers runs through documentation and email, with video support reserved for Pro; and the Superhuman transition means the roadmap now sits with a parent company, which some buyers will want to watch.
Overall, Rows is the most interesting new take on spreadsheets in this category: a connected, AI-first grid that shines for marketing and ops teams pulling data from many tools. Traditional finance-modeling power users may still want the depth of the incumbents.
We researched Rows in October 2026 using its official website, pricing page, integrations catalog, about page, documentation and developer portal, and compared its published capabilities and pricing against other spreadsheet tools in this category. Ratings reflect editorial judgment based on that research. We did not purchase a plan or run a live pilot for this listing.
