Excel Copilot is Microsoft's AI inside Excel: it writes formulas, analyzes data, suggests charts, and summarizes tables directly in the grid. It is powerful and deeply native, but requires a paid Microsoft 365 Copilot license and stays inside the Microsoft ecosystem.
Gemini in Google Sheets is Google's native AI inside Sheets — it helps create tables and templates, write and explain formulas, organize data, and surface insights directly in the grid. It's deeply native and backed by Google, but it's Google-Sheets-only (no Excel) and now comes bundled with paid Google Workspace Business plans rather than as a standalone tool.
ExcelGPT's web app generates formulas, analyzes data, writes VBA, and builds charts from one sentence, then lets you bring the result back to Excel or Google Sheets.
