Sourcetable

Sourcetable is an AI spreadsheet that combines a familiar grid with a chat assistant, live data connectors and built-in Python, for business users who want analyst-level work without leaving a spreadsheet. Instead of exporting a CSV from your database or ad account and pasting it into Excel, you connect the source once and ask questions of the live data. The AI can write formulas, build pivots and charts, or run a full analysis on request.

What is Sourcetable used for?

Sourcetable is used for the reporting and analysis work that usually piles up in spreadsheets across sales, marketing, finance and operations.

• Asking questions about data in plain English and getting formulas, pivots or charts in return
• Connecting to PostgreSQL, BigQuery, MySQL, Supabase, ClickHouse, DuckDB and other databases
• Pulling in GA4, Google Ads, Stripe and Notion data for marketing and revenue reports
• Cleaning, reshaping and transforming messy data with AI, formulas or code
• Building financial models, KPI dashboards and investor metrics
• Running Python data science and SQL queries inside the spreadsheet on paid plans

Who Sourcetable is best for

Sourcetable fits founders, marketers, finance teams, operations managers and analysts who live in spreadsheets but need data from several systems. It is also useful for researchers processing experiment data. Teams locked into Microsoft 365 workflows, or those who need strict offline Excel compatibility, may prefer AI features inside Excel itself.

Sourcetable pricing

As of October 2026, Sourcetable has a free Regular plan with 50 credits a month that includes the AI spreadsheet assistant with message limits, AI analysis, smart formulas, pivots, charts, data generation, cleaning and access to data connectors. Pro costs $29 per user per month with 2,000 monthly credits and adds deep research, premium AI models, a Python and data science toolkit, expanded chat memory and a SQL editor. Max costs $100 per user per month with 6,000 credits, the highest model tier, advanced agent capabilities and unlimited AI messages subject to abuse guardrails. Extra credits can be bought at any time, and enterprise plans are available through sales.

Limitations to keep in mind

• The free plan is fine for testing but too small for regular work
• Credits reset monthly, so heavy months may need top-ups
• It is a separate spreadsheet app, so teams standardized on Excel or Google Sheets must move files over

Sourcetable vs alternatives

Julius AI is a better fit if you prefer a chat-first analyst that works on uploaded files rather than a spreadsheet grid. GPTExcel and Numerous.ai bring AI into existing spreadsheets, which suits teams that will not switch tools. Microsoft Copilot is the natural choice for organizations already paying for Microsoft 365 and working in Excel. Sourcetable wins when you want live database and app connectors, a spreadsheet interface and Python in the same place.

Tips for getting started with Sourcetable

Connect one data source you already report on, such as GA4 or Stripe, and rebuild a report you know well so you can check the AI's numbers. Ask the assistant to explain any formula it writes before you reuse it. If you plan to use Python or SQL regularly, test them early on Pro, since they are not on the free plan.
