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.
SheetAI brings AI into Google Sheets through formula-style functions like =SHEETAI() and =SHEETAI_FILL(), so you can generate text, classify, extract, and auto-fill columns right in the grid. It's quick for bulk content and data tasks, but it's Google-Sheets-only and focused on text generation rather than charts or deep analysis.
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.
