An AI spreadsheet that connects to your data and explains it

Overview

Quadratic combines a familiar spreadsheet with an AI assistant, code cells in Python and SQL, and connections to databases, files and business tools. Users ask questions in natural language and get formulas, tables and charts they can inspect and share. Free users get limited AI usage, and the monthly AI credits on paid plans ($20 on Pro, $40 on Business) are a cap to plan around for heavy use.

Our verdict

Quadratic suits people who think in spreadsheets and want AI help without leaving the grid. Larger organizations will outgrow it as a governed analytics layer.

Best for

Spreadsheet-first analysts who want AI and code in the same grid.

Avoid if

You need centrally governed metrics for hundreds of business users.
