Equals vs Sourcetable

No hands-on testing was done, so no quality winner is claimed. The deciding factor is price and market tier. Sourcetable is self-serve: Free (50 credits/mo), Pro $29/user/mo (2,000 credits), Max $100/user/mo (6,000 credits), per sourcetable.com/pricing. Equals has moved upmarket: Essential $24k/yr, Business $36k/yr, Enterprise $60k/yr, demo-gated, per equals.com/pricing. Equals targets finance and data teams needing SQL-native, warehouse-connected spreadsheets with enterprise support; Sourcetable targets individuals and small teams wanting an AI copilot inside a familiar spreadsheet. If you cannot demo-gate or sign an enterprise contract, Sourcetable is the only practical option of the two.
