Better Analyst

Better Analyst, formerly Formula Bot, is an AI data analyst that answers plain-English questions about files and connected databases. It builds dashboards and scheduled reports, and shows the SQL or Python behind each answer.

Our verdict

Approachable and transparent about the code it runs, but the free plan's limits are not published and the cheapest paid plan caps you at 2 data sources.

Use it for

  • Ask questions about a spreadsheet
  • Build dashboards from connected data
  • Schedule data reports to email or slack
  • Convert pdf tables to excel

Other data tools

  • Hex

    Strong for analysts who already know SQL, but the free plan only gives a trial of the AI agent and paid seats start at $36 per editor a month.

    FreemiumBest for data teams that work in SQL or Python and share analysis with the wider company

  • Quadratic

    Flexible if you can read some code, though the free plan has limited AI usage and the extra power can feel like overkill for simple sheets.

    FreemiumBest for technical users who want code and AI inside a familiar grid

  • Rows

    A friendly step up from a plain spreadsheet, but the free plan allows only 5 AI tasks a month, so regular AI use means paying.

    FreemiumBest for small teams who want a spreadsheet with built-in data imports and AI help
