What makes Sheet Best stand out is its price, integration with Google Sheets, simplicity. We are using Sheet Best to power our Helpdesk function for a progressive web app-based training on advocacy for community health workers.
Now with Sheet Best, all our bots are more intelligent. They can send and get data from Google sheets, this feature transform to a rich conversation with users. What makes Sheet Best stand out is the documentation and the % of uptime. Few errors in years.
As a former analyst in Excel this is helping me bridge the divide between Google Sheets and my developer work in other Google products. I really appreciate the support and the product. I'll be building with this a lot more moving forward. I wish I had known of Sheet Best earlier in my Analyst career. This is great stuff!
