Equals vs Bricks

Equals and Bricks both call themselves AI spreadsheets, for opposite ends of the market. Equals repositioned in 2026 as enterprise 'trusted AI analytics': Essential at $24k/year, Business $36k/year, Enterprise $60k/year, demo-gated, unlimited seats, a spreadsheet wired directly to the warehouse with an AI analyst agent and a forward-deployed analyst included (equals.com, October 2026). Bricks is the lightweight self-serve builder: free tier, Premium reported around $20-$25 per seat per month and Pro around $100 (directory readings conflict; check official site), turning CSV/Excel/PDF uploads into polished dashboards in about a minute. Equals is a warehouse BI replacement with a consultant attached; Bricks is a fast dashboard maker for spreadsheet-sized data. We did not hands-on test either product, so no quality winner is declared.

A finance team debates a warehouse-connected spreadsheet platform against a quick dashboard builder for monthly investor reporting.

What a successful result must preserve
