Our take
Quadratic is a spreadsheet that speaks plain English: ask a question and it writes the Python or SQL, runs it, and charts the result in the grid. For anyone who knows what they want but not the formula, it removes a lot of friction. It's free to start and $16-25/month for more AI, with a real user base behind it.
Best for
Analysts and operators who want spreadsheet familiarity with AI and code under the hood.
Pros
- Natural-language questions become Python/SQL in the grid
- Familiar spreadsheet interface, no new app to learn
- Free plan; Pro at $16-25/month
- Used by 250k+ people across companies and universities
Cons
- AI-generated code still needs a sanity check
- Newer than Excel/Sheets, so a smaller ecosystem
How it compares
Versus Excel or Sheets with an AI bolt-on, Quadratic is AI-and-code-native from the start, which shows on data-heavy analysis.
Full review
Quadratic is an AI-native spreadsheet that lets you analyze data by asking questions in plain English. Instead of wrestling with nested formulas, you describe the analysis and it generates and runs Python or SQL, dropping the results and charts straight into the grid. It targets the gap between 'I know what I want' and 'I can write the formula.'
There's a free plan, with paid tiers around $16-25/month for more AI usage and sharing, and team pricing above that. It already reports 250,000+ users across companies and universities, which is reassuring for a newer tool. As with any AI that writes code, treat the generated queries as a draft to verify - but for exploratory analysis it removes a real bottleneck, and the free tier makes it easy to try.

Langfuse
Langfuse is an open-source AI engineering platform for building and operating LLM applications. It brings together observability and tracing, evaluations, prompt management, datasets, an annotation workflow and a prompt playground, and integrates with OpenTelemetry, LangChain, the OpenAI SDK, LiteLLM and more. A Y Combinator (W23) company, it moved every product feature to the MIT license in 2025, so the only commercial pieces are thin enterprise-compliance add-ons such as SCIM, audit logs and project-level RBAC. The cloud free tier covers 50,000 units a month, with a $29/month Core plan for production traffic and higher tiers for longer retention and SOC 2/ISO reports. In January 2026 ClickHouse acquired Langfuse and publicly committed to keeping the MIT license and avoiding new pricing gates.
