FormulaBot has moved on.
If you still need a formula tool, here’s what we built.

FormulaBot started as a formula generator and has since expanded into a full data analytics platform — with dashboards, SQL queries, and enterprise pricing to match. If what you need is a tool that makes formula writing, editing, and managing better inside Google Sheets, Formula Foundry is built for exactly that job.

The Context Worth Knowing

FormulaBot (formulabot.com) is a legitimate product. It’s trusted by 1M+ users and has expanded its platform significantly. But it has moved upmarket — their cheapest paid plan is now $25/month, and the product is increasingly focused on data analytics, dashboards, and natural language querying of databases, not day-to-day formula work inside Google Sheets.

If you came looking for FormulaBot as a formula tool and found a data platform, you’re not alone. This page is for you.
