Formula Bot vs Rows
Formula Bot rebranded to Better Analyst and still sells an upload-and-analyze AI platform. Rows was acquired by Superhuman and its standalone spreadsheet is winding down. The choice for new users is Better Analyst versus a migration, not two live connected-spreadsheet bets.

Formula Bot
- Live product after the Better Analyst rebrand
- The go-to AI formula generator for Excel and Google Sheets
- Unlimited questioning for $40/user/month on Max
- Visible Python/SQL/R builds trust and teaches as you go
- White-label embeds on Business for client deliverables
- Name and domain changed; older reviews still say Formula Bot
- Paid entry and Max prices rose after the rebrand
- No live CRM/ad sync — data arrives by upload or connector
- Dashboard counts capped per tier
Rows
- Live integrations eliminated weekly copy-paste reporting
- Native AI functions for cell-level enrichment
- AI Vision extracted tables from PDFs and images
- Its ideas continue inside Superhuman Docs
- Standalone product is winding down after the Superhuman acquisition
- New workflows built on it face a guaranteed migration
- Roadmap and support horizon are uncertain
- Never solved the help-me-in-Excel job Better Analyst owns
Our Verdict
Formula Bot — now Better Analyst — is still the better choice for anyone deciding today. It remains operated by Datasetmatch LLC, its formula generation is still the Excel on-ramp, and current Starter/Max pricing is $20–40/month. Rows' connected-spreadsheet approach was genuinely different, but recommending a product in wind-down to new users is not defensible.
