What our research says

Ajelix

Use it narrowly, as a formula and macro translator for when you know the outcome you want but not the syntax. The newer agentic-workspace framing puts it up against far better-funded BI tools, and $39 is steep for the one job most people came for.

Pros

an Excel add-in and Google Sheets add-on keep the work inside the spreadsheet
handles both directions: generating formulas and explaining existing ones
tier limits are stated concretely as file size, storage and CPU/RAM instead of vague credits
covers Apps Script and VBA, which most spreadsheet assistants ignore

Cons

10 free requests a month is barely a trial
$39 entry is expensive next to Copilot or a general assistant doing the same formula work
no public API despite the automation and agent positioning
the dashboard and app-builder features are shallow compared with dedicated BI tooling

Better Analyst

If you came looking for the Excel formula generator that went viral in 2022, that product has now been renamed twice and lives on a third domain as a per-seat analytics app. As a lightweight analytics workspace it is fine for spreadsheet-scale questions, scheduled dashboards and marketing data pulls, and outclassed by real BI tools once you need governance or modelling.

Pros

Wide connector list spanning spreadsheets, databases, warehouses, GA4 and cloud drives
Scheduled Data Flows keep dashboards refreshed without manual re-runs
Flat $20 Starter tier is well under most BI seat pricing
Rename kept existing accounts and the old domain redirects rather than dying

Cons

Starter is capped at 250 chat messages a month and weekly Google Sheets-only refreshes
Per-user pricing above Starter ($40 and $80 a seat) gets expensive for a team quickly
The first-month half-price offer makes the real recurring cost easy to misread
No public API found, so it cannot be scripted into a pipeline
