Alternatives to Rows
Spreadsheet with built-in integrations and AI
Rows ranks #7 of 7 in No-code databases, with an Alt Score of 62. It is proprietary, freemium from $8/user/month and available on the web. 12 of 12 checklist rows are verified against a public source.
Marketing, sales, finance, and ops teams (and individuals) who need to analyze business data and build reports or dashboards without writing SQL or standing up a BI tool.
A spreadsheet-based platform with 50+ live data integrations (Google Analytics, ad platforms, CRMs like HubSpot and Salesforce, databases like BigQuery and Postgres, Stripe, etc.), plus AI that can extract data from documents, merge datasets, and run analysis from natural-language prompts instead of formulas. Reports refresh automatically on a schedule, and dashboards can be shared with teams or embedded on external sites/docs. A browser extension (RowsX) can also pull tables directly from web pages.
Import or connect data from files, websites, or integrated tools into a spreadsheet, then use formulas or AI prompts to transform and analyze it, and share or embed the resulting report/dashboard, which keeps syncing with the underlying sources.
