Why Sheetful

  • Works on every device, including Android. Copilot has no Android app.
  • Your transactions land in a Google Sheet or Excel workbook you own and can export at any time.
  • $79/year, which is $16 less than Copilot's $95 as of August 2026.
  • A free tier that runs on your real transactions, so you can judge the product before you pay.
  • 200+ merchant rules built in, category editing on Premium, and custom rules coming so miscategorized rows are not permanent.

What Sheetful does not do

  • No native mobile app. Sheetful is a web app, and your spreadsheet has its own apps on every platform.
  • No predictive spending models. Sheetful summarizes what already happened.
  • Plaid backfills roughly 90 days on connect and syncs forward from there. Older history comes in through CSV import.
  • Recurring-charge alerts are a template formula, not a managed subscription-cancellation service.
