Shortcut review

Shortcut is an AI spreadsheet agent aimed at finance teams, and its pricing page lists an Excel plugin, a Google Sheets plugin, a web app and a Windows desktop app on every plan, including Free. The free tier gives 20 credits a week, which is enough to test it on a real model. Pro costs $100 a month billed annually and adds 1,000 monthly credits, unlimited file creation and edits and Platform API access. Teams costs $320 a month plus $100 per seat with pooled credits, a shared workspace, usage analytics and centralized billing. Shortcut lists SOC 2 Type II, GDPR and CCPA compliance, and Enterprise adds SSO, custom permissions and bring-your-own-key. Credits are the catch: Shortcut says a message typically uses 2 to 15 credits depending on complexity, so heavy users can burn through 1,000 credits quickly. It is the priciest individual plan on this list. We compared documented features and published prices.
