Better Analyst (formerly Formula Bot) review

Formula Bot, whose old excelformulabot.com address now redirects to betteranalyst.com, is now called Better Analyst; the company says accounts and workflows carried over. You upload an .xlsx, .xls or .csv file, ask a question in plain English, and it returns analysis, charts, Excel dashboards you can download and new or cleaned spreadsheets, and it still writes formulas. The free plan includes 10 chat messages and 100 AI credits a month with one connected data source. Pro costs $30 a month billed monthly, with annual billing saving up to 33%, and adds unlimited chat, unlimited data sources such as Google Sheets, BigQuery, Snowflake and Power BI, 3,000 AI credits for bulk jobs and daily-refreshed dashboards. Team covers 5 people for $149 a month with free viewers. It is a web tool rather than an Excel add-in, and bulk tasks such as PDF to Excel use 10 credits per page. We compared documented features and published prices.
